Can you review Toyota Kluger Grande 2024, AWD - Hybrid (Top Model)?
The colour looks nice enough.
This is the amount of torque the new WRX needed at least, 350Nm from a 2.4L turbo is just laughable.
AWD but still leaves half the front tyres behind when launching?
I wonder if the servicing will be the same cost as a Toyota despite having a Lexus engine.
I'll look into that for you and update this comment with any prices I find. A quick look, servicing is every 15,000km/12 months - same as the old 3.5L V6.
Yes, Lexus servicing is marked up. $200 for Camry 2.5 Hybrid, $600 for ES300h with same engine and FWD setup.
@@User-cb4jm My mum’s client pays $2000 a year for service
@@drivingenthusiastaustralia For some reason my reply didn't post, one of my client's annual service costs $2,000. Must be an expensive top of the range Lexus.
There are some rumors that they will discontinue this model at least in America.
It will be replaced with the more modern Crown Signia model.
By the way, could you also measure with the VBOX the 100-150km/h acceleration for us here from Europe? At least for cars with minimum 100-110hp per ton
Its a fancy Tarago
Tarago is one of the ugliest cars I’ve ever seen, I’d much rather drive a Kluger if I had to drive a 7 seater.
In Australia, what is more expensive?
CX9 or this one?
In Australia, CX-9 prices start from $47,600. Kluger currently starts from $60,920.
That's for the base model in both.
I think the car really wanted you to know the traction control was off...
😅 yeah Toyotas do that - I had to keep pressing clear to show the regular display.
How it’s slower than a Mazda cx9 when it’s same weight and torque probably a better transmission and it has more power ?
Great question. The last time I tested a CX-9 we got 7.89s. I think maybe one of two reasons; it was a pretty warm day on this test, and/or maybe the 6spd in the Mazda shifts quicker? This has a clear delay between shifts. I know Toyota in the past used to cut fuel momentarily during shifts to conserve transmission durability. It sounds like this does a similar thing, as you can hear a definite delay especially going from 1st to 2nd. Just some possible reasons.
But you’re right, this has more power, same torque, and this is actually slightly lighter than the CX-9 we tested.
Awesome good to know thanks for the response 🙂 Also just a quick question what fuel did you use in the cx9 because apparently you get a few more kilowatts from higher octane fuel in that vehicle up from 230ps to 250ps?
@@peelvroom8003 I always run 98 RON, but press cars are already filled up before I test them. I don’t know what fuel they use.
@@drivingenthusiastaustralia ah ok 👍
you'd be baffled to learn that almost all toyota engine specs are faked on the paper. Put it on a dyno and see the real power / torque figures.
Here in saudi arabia we call it Highlander
Thanks
@telealotstm3188 it's called the Kluger here as Hyundai claimed the Highlander name first as a trim level for their vehicles.
The previous Klugers were a boxier wagon style
Now it just looks like every other bland SUV which is a shame
As someone with a bit of “mechanical sympathy”, your free-revving at the start of the performance test section always makes me cringe. 😬
It doesn't hurt the engine - no need to worry (I'm a former mechanic).
Aside from airflow going through the radiator, the engine doesn't know if the wheels are moving or not - if anything, there is less load on the engine when revving on the spot compared with revving while driving.
Modern radiator and fan technologies mean you could sit there and rev it for quite a few minutes before the temp rises to worrying levels. For a few seconds, it doesn't do anything.
Hope that helps sooth your concern👍
