Toyota Kluger 2008 Kluger previous Model

 

 

The Toyota Kluger as its known in Japan and Australia has undergone for a slight change in  2008.

The Kluger  was the first of its type in its price range  and will continue to fill that void in the market with of course the reliability associated with the Toyota Badge.

Toyota at this point remain fairly secretive  but you can be assured more power from its V6 engine.

Australians will be watching fuel figures  and safety.

  • Seven airbags
  • Vehicle Stability Control with steering assist
  • Traction Control
  • Anti-skid Braking System
  • Electronic Brake  Distribution
  • Brake Assist
  • Reverse camera.
     
    2008 Kluger and here is  traction control, a multitude of airbags, ABS brakes and stability control.

    If our sources are correct expect a little more space (roughly 3inches) both inside and wheel base.

    Engine   3456 cc DOHC 24 Valve fuel injected V6 bore x stroke 94 x 83 mm compression 10.8:1 

    And hurrah !!now available in 2WD and 4x4 models.

    And Mum will love the power lift gate (may not be available all models) keyless ignition and rear DVD system.

    Toyota another great product,  Not exciting but practical .

    As these model are evolving curiosity makes me wonder where the Rav 4 will sit.

    And will the Hybrid Kluger model become available in Australia after 2008 ? refer alternativefuel4x4.com

     

     

General consensus seems the Australian buying public have seen Toyota wave the ugly stick to this model and the rumor mill is alive with a similar fate to the new cruiser. That's something we will have to wait to see.

What ever happens the 2008 Kluger will get extra sales in the Australian market.

Power   201 kw @ 6200 rpm

torque    337 Nm  @ 4700 rpm

acceleration   0-100 in 8 secs

Interesting to note a article in the Queensland Courier Mail ( 5/1/08 )claimed the Toyota Kluger 2008 to be heavy on fuel claiming the Kluger returned 13-14 lts /100km  (That's almost a V8 petrol Toyota Landcruiser 200 series  14.5 l/per 100km )  on their tests.
