Great car and perfect for the Fam

published

Great car and very reliable. No issues what so ever but the 5 speed is a bit clunky/sloppy sometimes but I feel I can take the car anywhere and it will never let me down. Fuel consumption, well is high, more like 14-14.5l to 100km

2009 kluger kms

published

I own a 2009 Toyota kluger which we love, this car is on the road 7 days a week, beautiful car to drive plenty of power, down side is that they are not designed to tow caravans.
We own a 17 ft single axle caravan which is around 1500kgs kluger has a 2 tonne towing capacity, car tows van nicely but goes through a lot of petrol.
It would be nice if the kluger had a turbo Diesel engine would be a lot easer on fuel. Thanks for reading this

Kluger is good value

published

Really like our Toyota Kluger.
Drive a 2004 Toyota Corolla and very happy with it. Would buy another one. When we sell this one we have already spoken that our next car will be another newer toyota kluger. I think we will drive klugers for the next 20 years. Just buy a newer one every 5 years.

We use it to get around and move the kids. Use the car 5 or 6 times a week. We get it serviced every 10 or 11,000 kms. Mechanic loves it.

Excellent All Round

published

RELIABILITY : Zero issues
SERVICE COSTS : I do my own servicing (oil/filters), o/wise Toyota tell me the auto is service free (sealed unit does not require servicing), plugs at 100k, fuel filter 80k. Did pads at 100k. ie servicing costs are very reasonable.
DRIVE : Very sound in all respects, including towing, a little body roll around town but thats ok.
FUEL : For a car this size I thinks its very good. We have FWD which are better on fuel.
INTERIOR : For me its got to many bells and whistles, some are practical but thats the modern car. O/wise no complaints.

Over all the Kluger is a fantastic package, highly recommended.

Best all rounder

published

5 years of problem free motoring
My AWD Kluger has been the best family car we have ever owned.
Travelled long distance with 6 big sized kids
Towed 18 ft Caravan ( better than my 2009 Diesel Hilux)
Towed boats, had canoe on roof.
Light off road tracks tackled with ease,
Luxury travelling
Ultra quiet interior
Massive acceleration for a large vehicle
I’m must say I was sad to my Kluger go to a new owner.
I would highly recommend

Perfect for family with young kids

published

Absolutely reliable car as Toyota deserves. Love the car because of its multimedia, my boys favourite. Sunroof, leather seats, inbuilt gps and so many add ons are the beauty of Toyota Kluger grande in reasonable price. Running costs a little bit which sometimes my take your thinking but it’s ok considering so many others.

Good family car

published

Comfortable to drive plenty of room. Perfect as a family car very safe and reliable. Servicing cost is cheap. Would buy another, forget buying 2litre engines pulling a 1600kg + vechile that struggle to pull the skin off a rice pudding. Has good power to overtake and tow a 17foot boat. Forget the Toyota haters we’ll do Toyota.

Great drive. Smooth ride, plenty of guts when overtaking, very comfortable interior. Running costs not much more than previous Mazda 3! Oodles of leg room. Transforms to 7 seats which is very convenient for families. Looks like new even through we bought secondhand just this year 2018! Overall love it!!

Recently purchased and absolutely love it

published

As It is a grande, absolutely love the leather
Sunroof and drives amazing. The power steering is ideal. And can drive awhile before needing fuel. 7 seats and power windows with the reverse camera is a massive plus. After purchasing a 2010 model. Will definitely continue on with the kluger.

Best car ever owned

published

By far the best vehicle I have ever owned and driven. It is like driving around in a lounge suite, great for travelling long distances in comfort. We purchased this car for the space, especially with 2 young children and car seats, as well as massive boot space - there are no other SUVs that can compare in space. Reliable to drive, being a V6 does use between 9-11litres per 100km. Will keep this family car for a long time, very satisfied.

We LOVE it!

published

We bought ours second hand in 2014 but it was pretty new so probably a 2013 or 12 model. Can not fault it. It seems a little big to drive is about the worst criticism I can have. It's not noisy, sometimes takes a little balance between stationary and acceleration but handles well. We've had no problems with it since we bought it over three years ago. Go for it!

Perfect Family car

published

This is the perfect family car, however, I really wish the company could come out with some buyback scheme where clients like myself can have new cars with a good buyback option which could be an incentive for clients like us who would love to stay with Toyota Family, I am currently wanting to sell my Kluger but I am not getting the right price for it

Hi Everyone, we just purchased a used 2013 Toyota Kluger Altitute AWD this week. We noticed that every time the engine is turned off, we hear some noises like little stones dropping on a metal for a few minutes. We consulted a friend who is a very good mechanic, and assured us its normal its just the catalytic converter. I would like to know if anyone who owns a Kluger same as ours experiences the same. Thank you

Can you tell me what went wrong when the warning comes on saying "check VSC system of my 2008 Kluger?

Sounds like fuel injection but can’t be certain sorry, maybe ring your local Toyota service department.

Hi Folks, Is $14000 a bit too much for a 2009 Kluger KX-S AWD 7 Seater with 145,000 mileage on it and full service history? Can you guys please advise on the prices. Thanks.

Hi sieRRA
I bought a 2008 KXR with 95k on it in 2012 and it's now done 245k and refuses to die. I get 10.8 l per 100k on country drives and 11.5 around city. It's spacious inside, well built, accelerates quickly when I need it to, either to pass or get out of trouble. It's comfortable on long trips, I tow a 1450kg boat easy and getting it out of the water on some dicey ramps has never been a problem. I get it serviced every 10,000 k's, costing on average $300. I don't get services done at Toyota I think on this model they would charge me more. The Kluger has never let me down mechanically, I replaced the battery 8 months ago. It may not have all the bells and whistles but they're no good to you if the car breaks down. So would I buy a Kluger for $14k with 145,000 on the clock. If you can see the service history and it hasn't been pranged or abused, in a heartbeat.
