The second generation (XU30) debuted in February 2003, along with the export Lexus version. The third-generation RX (separated from the Harrier) arrived in late 2008, while the Harrier continued on in second-generation form unchanged (although the second generation Harrier 350G, equivalent to second generation RX350, was discontinued after the release of third generation Lexus RX). Lexus had by now made its debut in Japan as an independent marque, thus the third-generation RX was sold in the domestic market in the same livery as its export counterpart.

The third generation (XU60) debuted in 2013, when it morphed into an independent model line constructed on a separate platform from the RX (the Harrier since then built on the same platform as theRAV4) but retaining a visual link with it. Starting at this point, it is considered as a more road-oriented and upmarket alternative to the RAV4, comparable to theluxury-classLexus NX.From the fourth generation (XU80), it is also sold as thesecond-generation Venzain North America and China.

The Harrier is named for theeastern marsh harrier,abird of preycommon toHokkaidōand northernHonshūcalled thechūhiin Japanese, and an emblem depicting the bird in stylized profile can be found on the grille until the XU60 model.

Trim levels available in Japan include Grand, Elegance, and Premium for both the petrol and hybrid models. The top-of-the-line Premium trim came withJBLGreenEdge audio with 8-inchT-Connecttouchscreen entertainment system with navigation and sensing features.

A Turbo model was introduced with a 2.0-litreturbocharged8AR-FTSengine mated to a 6-speedU661automatic transmission,while the 2.0-litre naturally-aspirated3ZR-FAEand 2.5-litre2AR-FXEhybridengines remained.
