2025 Toyota Kluger Summary

Straight off the bat, let's just acknowledge that there's nothing new about the Toyota Kluger large SUV for 2025 – but that might not be a bad thing.

In a world where there seems to be some new fangdangled piece of car tech out there that works on paper but not in reality - like keyfobs that don't unlock the car properly, or multimedia systems that are just too darn smart for their own good.

There is something quite charming about the familiar specs and on-road comfort of the mid-spec Toyota Kluger GXL seven-seater we're family testing this week. In true Toyota style, it has a healthy mix of the tradition thrown in with workable technology.

It's newer seven-seat SUV rivals might try to tell you that the old Kluger is starting to fall behind, but is it? Or will simplicity win out for tired parents who just want an SUV to do what it says it will?

2025 Toyota Prado Summary

This is one of the most important models to come from Toyota in ages. You guessed it. It's the new LandCruiser Prado.

Why is it important? The Prado is now in its fifth generation and aside from some minor facelifts, it hasn't seen a proper update since 2009!

Toyota loves the 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' design ethos, and it usually works as their SUVs remain some of the most popular in Australia. But after 15 years, we deserved a new one and we're testing the base GX grade to find out if it's been worth the wait.
