A few weeks ago, we went to the Hunter Valley and took a Toyota Kluger Grande Hybrid. This came in an all-wheel drive version, which is necessary for snow trips.

On the Hunter weekend we had three people aboard with luggage and it swallowed all that with ease.

Snow trips often mean more luggage and maybe skis, boots etc.

The Kluger is large enough for four people and all the gear, though Skis will need to go on the roof.

Being a Grande, means lots of little luxuries like heated front leather seats and climate controlled multi zone air conditioning.

It also has wireless Apple Car Play connectivity and charging.

On our recent Hunter Valley trip, we found the 2.5 litre hybrid petrol engine had enough performance along with excellent economy. We averaged around 6.5 litres per 100 kilometres.

Its also smooth, comfortable and easy to drive. That means everyone arrives feeling relaxed and ready to enjoy the holiday.

Being a Kluger meant that there was plenty of space for five adults in comfort. Three made the trip up with all their luggage, and over the weekend there was five in the Kluger daily. The middle rear seat is a little smaller so seat placement is important for different sized people.

The Grande is packed with all the luxury comfort and safety features Toyota can put in there.

With a Hybrid engine it meant that the fuel economy was excellent, around 6.5 litres per 100 kilometres.

With the 2.5 litre Atkinson petrol engine with hybrid technology there was enough performance to keep drivers engaged. The Kluger has a CVT with six simulated gears and constant all wheel drive.

The ride, handling and dynamics were excellent for a larger SUV.

Inside the Kluger the overall impression is of space and comfort. Overall visibility is excellent. The Kluger is smooth and quiet on the road.

It’s easy to see why they are so popular. It all just seems to work effortlessly.

Pricing for the Toyota Kluger Grande Hybrid is from a bit over $80,000 dollars plus the usual costs.
