The London side conceded a staggering seven tries as Toulouse demonstrated their dominance.
Toulouse asserted their authority early on with three precise first-half tries. Despite Harlequins responding with tries from Andre Esterhuizen and Irne Herbst, the French side continued to dictate the game.
The second half proved to be even more punishing for Harlequins as Toulouse added four more tries to their tally.
Antoine Dupont's squad left Harlequins struggling to keep up, with Herbst managing to salvage a lone try for the home side in a disappointing second half.
One controversial moment in the game saw France fullback Thomas Ramos forearms smash England fly-half Marcus Smith.
