Toyota Kluger (2014-2022)

I bought my Toyota Kluger 2WD GX in July 2021. It’s the new model which looks like the RAV4. Whilst it wasn’t, and isn’t, my dream car it’s going OK.

Likes : It’s big, comfortable with plenty of space and storage. It’s very easy to drive and is quiet to drive. Parking can be difficult but is helped by a reverse camera and front and rear parking sensors. On rough bitumen roads I’ve found the noise in the cabin to be slightly more than expected but it’s still tolerable. The seats are very comfortable and everything works well. Dynamically, for s...

I bought my 2015 Kluger with 60K on clock from a private seller. It's soft, strong and powerful with V6 petrol engine and 6 speed auto and I think this is a standard combination for all of them from 2014 to 2016.
I've used it in Metro, urban and highways not off-road and I believe it's very well designed for family and long trips.
I use ulp 98 and I get 8.5L/100Km for highway long trips and 11-12 for combination with driving in suburbs. It can easily reach 13-15 if you push it hard and drive it agressively.

Exactly the type of car I wanted. Very spacious, drives smoothly, minimum noise and vibration, soft suspension with extremely comfortable drive. love beige light coloured interior, which is a rarity cars. Many useful and handy features, No complains at all. Best family car.

Purchased the Grande 21 only 3 months ago and have taken it back to Toyota 3 times.
A rattle from the dashboard which has now been fixed.
Been going back and forth for 3 months because the leather advertised on Toyotas website or in their showroom does not match the actual physical vehicle. The stiching of the leather has come apart or installed cheaply in all 4 Kluger Grandes we have checked out however ours is really bad and only completed 400km. Warranty Toyota has rejected the claim as it is a manufacturing claim. When you purchase a vehicle for $80,000 you expect a premium product.

This is a nice vehicle to drive, very spacious, smooth and fast for an SUV.
Fuel consumption is ok but not brilliant around town. For a base model you get enough to keep you happy. Toyota reliability went out the door under warranty, full $8000 auto replacement. Toyota fixed it so it says volumes for Toyota.
Klugers are made in the US now, not Japan and it shows, probably accounts for the transmission.
Services are not cheap if you use the dealers and follow logbook schedules. The car has done 100000 kms and has had front rotors replaced, automatic never failed, just developed a clonk which wasn’t normal.

Pros:
Nice to drive
Spacious
Powerful engine
Good list of safety features
Good looking
Popular, so better resale value
Cons:
High fuel consumption around 13.1l/100km
update 2022 March 12.8l/100km...

We were in the market for a larger family car which had 7 seats and a petrol engine. After looking around we found the Kluger to be the best fit what we needed.

We have owned the vehicle for 9 months and I have no regrets about the purchase. We can easily fit 3 car seats and the kids have alot of legroom in the second row.

Fuel economy around town is a little average at about 15 L/100kms but that can be expected with a heavy car.

Fuel economy on the highway has surprised me though, getting down to as low as 8 L/100km.

Underpowered, under optioned, uneconomical, worst car I have ever owned and couldn’t wait to get rid of it before it’s one year anniversary. Dealer couldn’t even provide matching floor mats.

What a truly exceptional car to drive, super spacious, powerful and reliable. I cannot fault this vehicle. It’s always a pleasure to drive with so much room in the cargo area for camping

Paid $69000 for a brand new Kluger Grande 2019 model, the driver seat has all the adjustments but the passenger seat don't have any except for forward and backwards, The wife and me bought the car together but sadly she will never have the same comfort level... (Better not tell her about this) Paid extra for the Grand model thinking were getting more but not so, the car looks old fashioned inside and gets dusty on the dash very quickly for no reason, there is nothing in the car that says grande..

The steering wheel gets sweaty pretty quickly,...

A great all round car. I would have given it a 5 stars if only it tech was updated to meet it competitors. They need to introduce apple car play to get the rating. But I am lead to believe they will offer an upgrade soon.

very good family car , It has a bit high fuel consumption ,rather than that it is amazing, very smooth ,bought it use same year, no issues or complains at all

Very reliable classy car for all your daily commutes. It has every function you need. Smooth running. Attractive and everyone comments on that with you. Strong safe but cosy. Service program is well organised.

i have just bought a Kluger, the car I said I would never buy- but I am glad I did. My deal breaker on a new car was a full size spare tyre- that gets rid of about 80% of the possibilities.

Having owned 4WDs for most of my life, Including most recently a 120 series Prado, I realised that I had not done any serious off-roading for a long time, nor was I likely to. But I still wanted reliability, room to move and that full size spare- enter Kluger. A good looking car these days especially in Crystal Pearl and enough mumbo to make highway travel a breeze. The recent update has the Kluger swarming with safety feature. The only one I am not sure about is adaptive cruise control.

Early days but this is very easy to live with.

Car gets used every day and is comfortable and reliable. It is used around town and on the freeway. It fits our family of seven with ease and I recommend it over other family rigs.
