Driving experience

The good ground clearance of the Kluger means that cruising speed bumps will not be an issue. The vehicle is however bulky and you can feel it while driving, it is also huge and might not be convenient, especially when looking for parking in towns. While it handles well on straight roads, the experience around corners is not that great, it also some body roll reduces the driving experience. For a CVT, you will get a smooth drive with not much thrill as you would get on the automatic one.

Reliability

Toyota Kluger is among the most reliable SUV you can own. The vehicle does not have frequent breakdowns or any major problems reported by its previous owners. While the spare parts are a bit expensive, they are readily available in Kenya making the Toyota Kluger easy to maintain.

Safety rating

From ANCAP, Kluger models from 2016 onwards have a safety rating of 5 stars. This means that Toyota Kluger is one of the safest SUVs to drive in. The safety is enhanced by features that come as standard such as Dual frontal, side chest, and side head-protecting airbags (curtains) and a driver knee airbag, Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), and Lane Support Systems (LSS.)

Value for money

Without a doubt, the price of the Kluger is very high, but is it worth it? As you can see from above, the car is reliable, gives comfort and is safe to drive, the only downside is not that great driving experience. From our assessment, we think Kluger is value for money but it is still good to consider which other options you might get with the same amount of money.
