I drive a XU80 (non recond). The reason I got it was because it’s assembled in Japan.

Malaysia getting smaller batches of the lowest tier model (2.0 Petrol) because they’re prioritizing markets like SG and Taiwan where the 2.5 Hybrid is selling well. Toyota literally cannot build enough to satisfy demand. SG waiting list is 1.5yrs and Toyota SG already suspended new orders. In Malaysia, at least 1/3 of each Harrier shipment from Japan is being reserved for Kinto leasing (mostly to companies). Source: I’m one of those Kinto subscribers. As for why we don’t get the more expensive 2.5 Hybrid, blame UMW. I suspect UMW are trying to protect the Lexus NX line because the top spec Harrier XU80 would be very close to entry level NX200 pricing.
