2022 Toyota Kluger Buyers Guide

The 2022 Toyota Kluger is our winner as the Best Large SUV in the 2022 Drive Car of the Year awards, coming out on top of a quality field that included finalists Kia Sorento and Hyundai Palisade.

Now available with the option of a hybrid powertrain, 2WD, AWD, and a strong range of price points across the model range, Toyota Kluger delivers value, quality, and affordability for Australian family buyers. Crucially, Kluger is as practical as it is enjoyable to drive, with a solid list of standard features from the base model right up to the most expensive in the range.

Kluger is available in 2WD petrol GX guise from just over $45,500 before on-road costs, with the range-topping Grande petrol, starting from $69,160 before on-road costs. Step up to the AWD petrol grade and GX starts from $51,650 before on-road costs, while an AWD petrol Grande will cost you from $73,070 before on-road costs.

The Hybrid drivetrain sits at the top of the Kluger range and starts from $54,150 before on-road costs, with the Grande Hybrid starting from $75,700 before on-road costs.

At each step in the Kluger range, buyers can choose between GX, GXL, and Grande variants, meaning there are effectively nine separate model grades on offer.

There’s little doubt that even the entry-level, 2WD petrol Kluger is a high-quality offering, but our pick in the range is the GXL Hybrid, which starts from $63,650.

While the Grande Hybrid sits above GXL, there’s no doubt the GXL features everything the buyer needs, with the latest in safety inclusions, and technological advancements, in a large SUV body that uses almost 50 percent less fuel than the next most efficient in the class, thanks to its hybrid drivetrain.

That represents real savings at the bowser for Australian buyers.
