New Toyota Kluger 2009 , The V6's power is delivered to the front wheels via a 5-speed automatic transmission that is pretty good in most situations. If you want four-wheel drive, it's not a problem; all models in the Kluger range can also be optioned with AWD, which costs an extra $4500. Toyota cites fuel consumption of 11 litres per 100km/h but we didn't achieve figures quite that low 
When I think about, most drivers not only want a powerful engine for the sake of muscle, but in these bigger cars and SUVs, you want that get up and go to really move you when you're in a hurry. According to Toyota the Kluger goes from zero to 100km/h in 8.0 seconds, which if you ask me is fast. Fast for an SUV at any rate. Inside, the luxury appointments (and we drove the base model) are noticeable. Bigger seats for good luxurious Aussie bottoms are in there, and the detailed trip computer lets you know how your fuel economy has been going.
The rear view cameras help to keep everyone safe and are especially reassuring when you've got little ones running around. Overall the interior is nicely equipped. It looks and feels good and everything's been laid out sensibly so you rarely have to hunt for the controls, whether air conditioning or the trip computer buttons. Some of the negatives – it feels big ('cause it is). The Toyota Kluger is almost 4.8 metres long but it's also very wide, measuring 1.91 metres from east to west.The transversely mounted 3456cc 6-cylinder engine features aluminium alloy cylinder heads and block. Chain driven dual overhead camshafts (DOHC) work with 24-valves (4-valves per cylinder) that feature variable valve timing.
The engine can take 91, 95 and 98 RON petrol when filling its sizable 72 litre fuel tank and has a compression ratio of 10.8:1.
