Room to live
Kluger's interior design combines innovation, luxury, comfort and convenience. The car's designers have created an open, airy space so getting in and out of the car is easy for little kids and large adults alike.
With a focus on space, multiple storage areas, easy-to-use, practical seating combinations and entertainment at your fingertips, the interior design of Kluger has been engineered to keep the whole family happy.

A place for everybody
Comfort and versatility is seen in the choice of variable seating from two through to seven seat configurations#. Also, front seats mould to your body for extra support on the side and shoulder area while the seatbacks have been trimmed down for extra rear seat legroom. So whether you're doing the school run, or on your way to the beach, loading up with shopping or taking the family to the snow for the week, the Kluger is ready for anything.
Feeling comfortable also means sitting back and enjoying its luxurious features. The KX-S and Grande models come with a leather accented interior, plus front seat heaters. The Kluger Grande boasts the addition of voice and telephone steering wheel controls. Quality and sophistication also shines through with the subtleties of chrome plating on elements such as meter rings and drink holders.

Chances are you will never see all of Kluger's safety features in action, but it's always good to know they are there when you need them. The Kluger comes equipped with a comprehensive set of advanced active and passive car safety systems. Brake Assist helps you apply optimum braking force and Vehicle Stability Control automatically activate in dangerous driving situations to help keep you and your family safe. On wet, icy or even sandy road surfaces Traction Control improves your tyres' grip on the road. To improve safety from inside the cabin the Kluger has seven SRS airbags to offer protection to you and your family inside the vehicle.
Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)
VSC is a fast acting computer-based car safety system that automatically activates in emergency driving situations. It's designed to control a front or rear-end skid when cornering. So if you ever have a rear-end skid (oversteer) in a tricky corner or your car starts to plough straight ahead instead of taking the turn (understeer), VSC automatically intervenes. It detects that you're not on your intended path and takes corrective measures.
Brake Assist (BA)
Emergency situations come out of nowhere and with Brake Assist, it's easier to stop your Kluger in a hurry to help avoid nasty accidents. It interprets a sudden, quick push of your brake pedal as emergency braking and increases your braking pressure to reduce the braking distance so you stop sooner.

Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD)
Car safety in your Kluger is further enhanced with EBD. This electronic system improves Kluger's braking effectiveness across all wheels when you have to stop abruptly. It is especially helpful when you're coming home with extra passengers or cargo. Its sensors recognise the extra load on the rear axle, so brake pressure on the rear wheels is increased which improves braking effectiveness.
Anti-skid Braking System (ABS)
All Kluger models come equipped with Toyota's advanced Anti-skid Braking System which helps reduce wheel lock-up during hard braking enabling the driver to steer around obstacles more easily under heavy braking. ABS automatically controls the brakes and helps prevent your wheels from locking up when you hit the brakes hard during an emergency stop.
Traction Control (TRC)
On wet, icy or even sandy road surfaces, the degree of traction between your tyres and the road is dramatically reduced. What ABS does for braking, Kluger's Traction Control system does for acceleration - improves your tyres' grip on the road in poor driving conditions, especially when you're moving off from a standing start.
SRS airbags
Accidents can happen and passive car safety inside the cabin is just as important as preventing an accident in the first place. As part of its considerable set of safety features all Klugers are equipped with seven SRS airbags to help protect everyone inside.

Kluger's exterior design combines a stylish SUV package with a bold, commanding body. Functionality, luxury and sporty performance share the spotlight and are visually conveyed by its quality finishes and sculpted silhouette.
High-quality exterior design finishes include chrome accents throughout such as in the front door, front and rear bumpers and a chrome finish for the roof rails on the KX-S and Grande models.
Remote trunk release (Grande)
To make your life a little easier especially when you're lugging shopping and dealing with the kids at the same time, Kluger Grande's remote trunk release unlocks the rear door by simply touching the button on your wireless key. Equally convenient is a glass hatch that's standard on all models. It's perfect for shopping allowing you to flip up the glass and pop-in the bags without opening the tailgate.
Puddle mirrors
An example of Klugers consideration in design are the integrated puddle mirrors.
Both left and right door wing mirrors feature an integrated lamp which illuminates the road beneath you when you enter or exit the front doors of the vehicle. This means you can clearly see the muddy puddle that was just waiting for you to sink your shoes in.
Not only do these clever additions enhance visibility, they also avoid wet shoes and they are standard on all grades of Kluger.
Convenient glass hatch standard on all grades
For real convenience, all Kluger models come with a glass hatch giving you quick and easy access to the rear storage area without having to open the whole tailgate. Perfect when you're in a confi ned space or out shopping, you just fl ip up the glass and pop in the bags. In the Grande, your tailgate even opens remotely when your hands are full. For security, all models feature a retractable cover to conceal
your cargo, which can be fi xed into place in a half open position.


The pleasure is in the drive
For all its family comforts, Kluger is astonishingly rewarding to drive. With an all-alloy 3.5 Litre Dual VVT-i V6 engine delivering over 200kW, you'll notice the power kick in straight away. Mighty enough to pull a boat or caravan, or in fact any load of up to 2000kg (braked towing capacity)# with surprising ease, its naturally aspirated V6 is remarkably economical in its fuel consumption - using just 11.0L per 100km* (11.6L per 100km* on Grande AWD). That's got to be good for the family budget.
#Towing capacity subject to regulatory requirements, towbar design, vehicle design and towing equipment limitations. *ADR81/02 combined cycle. Actual fuel consumption may vary depending on driving style and conditions.
Enviro-friendly fuel economy
Kluger also does its bit for the environment, without sacrificing performance. By dynamically varying the intake and exhaust valve timing, Kluger's light-weight, low friction Dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) engine considerably increases power and fuel efficiency, yet reduces harmful exhaust emissions.
The all-terrain AWD or 2WD wagon alternative
Chances are from time to time, you'll be taking your Kluger off the beaten track, so we've made it adaptable to the most trying conditions. Its grippy and tactile performance makes it a pleasure whether you're travelling on asphalt or unsealed road. Its ultra-smooth 5-Speed automatic with 'Super ECT' (Super Intelligent Electronically Controlled Transaxle) ensures the right amount of downhill speed and uphill shift at all times by actually interpreting when the vehicle is going up or downhill. And with four-wheel independent suspension, Kluger soaks up even the most uneven surfaces.
It's not just Kluger's power that puts the driver firmly in control. One-touch controls for audio are built into the steering wheel and, in the KX-S and Grande models, even the air conditioning can be regulated from there. A large, 8" Multi-function Information Display (MID)* is easy to read, helping you keep your eyes on the road. And, with Electric Power Steering (EPS) and a Reversing Camera^^ on all models, you'll glide safely and effortlessly into those confi ned parking spaces at your local shopping centre.
*Grande model only. ^^The Reversing Camera is designed as a driver assist device only and should not be used as a substitute for skilled driving and safe parking practices. The areas into which the vehicle is to be reversed must be visually monitored by the driver while parking.
