Toyota's next-generation Kluger SUV will deliver greater enjoyment for the driver whilst providing ample comfort and safety for families when it arrives in local showrooms in March.

For the driver there’s improved handling and traction, particularly on rough surfaces and when cornering, allowing drivers to enjoy their time behind the wheel while passengers will appreciate the added ride comfort and safety.

For added peace of mind, every third-generation Kluger will have a comprehensive array of safety equipment including seven airbags, a reversing camera, vehicle stability and traction control, brake assist, electronic brake-force distribution, hill-start assist control and four-wheel disc brakes.

These enhancements help to further strengthen the Toyota brand by establishing a next generation SUV that combines emotional styling with the practicality to support customers' lifestyles.
