Toyota Kluger
The Toyota Kluger as its known in Japan and Australia has undergone for a slight change in 2008/2010 Early Models are a ideal Used car purchase.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 looks likely to cease the RHD manufacture in Japan some time in 2010 ( see article below 2012 Kluger for Australia) Australians will be watching fuel figures and safety.
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. 2009 Toyota KlugerAustralia and little change in the 2009 Toyota Kluger, but for the USA the Kluger or Highlander will be replaced by the 2009 Toyota Venza. The Hybrid will not be seen in Australia just yet. 2010 Toyota Kluger update. 2012 Kluger for Australian Manufacture. Toyota Kluger HybridJapan will cease the manufacture of the Kluger during 2010 as the next generation 4x4 develops. The Right hand drive model will certainly cease its production in Osaka according to Toyota sources. In Australia Toyota management have reported recently that they are looking seriously at a new line for manufacture in Australia. The Kluger based on the same platform as the Camry will be the ideal choice and date the year 2012 is rumored to be the year that it may take effect. Mr Yasuda head of Toyota Australia still is yet to get past the maybe stages of commitment but for Toyota Australia and its workers 2012 maybe will offer more production and job security with the bonus being a quality 4x4 vehicle being manufactured locally.
What ever happens the 2008/2011 Kluger will get extra sales in the Australian used car market.Power 201 kw @ 6200 rpm torque 337 Nm @ 4700 rpm acceleration 0-100 in 8 secs Diff ratio 3.478:1 economy 11 ltrs/100 km co2 emissions 259g/km euro1V turning circle 11.8 mtr kerb weight 1920-2020 kg Angle degrees 29 (approach) 24 (departure) 17 break-over towing 2000 kg braked 700 kg un-braked
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.
