Toyota Kluger Reviews | Overview

IN Worldwide terms, Australia has a special link with the Toyota Kluger.

 

We’re the only nation outside the house of the US and Japan to acquire all 4 generations – even though we didn’t get technology one particular until its mid-daily life facelift – and we’re also the only area outside the house of Japan to get in touch with it ‘Kluger’ courtesy of Hyundai trademarking ‘Highlander’ – the Kluger’s nameplate in all other markets.

 

So technology 4 is rather important for Toyota in Australia – not only since it debuts an all-new GA-K system, shared with the present Camry and RAV4, but also since it has the likely to challenge Toyota’s individual Prado 4×4 as the reigning revenue champ amongst substantial SUVs.

 

If the RAV4 is any tutorial, the ace up Kluger’s sleeve is the optional hybrid drivetrain out there throughout all trim degrees, exclusively with a subtle ‘eFour’ AWD procedure and a repeatedly variable computerized transmission (CVT).

 

Until eventually Hyundai’s Santa Fe Hybrid launches afterwards in the yr, the fourth-gen Kluger will be the only substantial SUV to offer a hybrid design in Australia, even even though a Kluger Hybrid has been out there globally considering the fact that 2005!

 

Wherever this fourth-technology design truly requires to raise Kluger’s game, nonetheless, is in terms of seating consolation and functionality, inside high quality, and journey consolation.

 

Now that the new Kluger/Highlander is a accurate international design (heading to the United kingdom and Europe for the very first time, exclusively in Hybrid type), its ambitions need to extend significantly over and above merely pleasing Center The us.
