Toyota Kluger

BIG, YET FEELS SMALL TO DRIVE, AND SIPS FUEL

TOYOTA'S KLUGER Hybrid applies the RAV4 Hybrid's excellent 2.5-litre petrol/electric powertrain to answer a question few large seven-seaters can. Namely: How do you haul a big family without a thirsty big petrol or turbo-diesel?

With a 6.0L/100km city consumption figure (5.6L/100km combined), Kluger Hybrid is massively more frugal than the now-discontinued 3.5-litre V6 petrol, which officially used 11.8L/100km(!) in city driving.

It's also thriftier than the alternatives on the used market, and does its best fuel-saving work in the 'burbs, where the average Kluger will do most of its driving.

As with many Toyotas, there's a substantial wait time for a new Kluger Hybrid so while used prices are high, at least you could drive away today in a '22 model with manufacturer's warranty.
