Japanese automaker Toyota is set to introduce a next-generation Kluger SUV with new features in March 2014.
Vehicle engineers of the company have revamped the model with a new double-wishbone rear suspension system, electric power steering, improved handling and traction and other features.
It is equipped with a 3.5LV6 engine driven through a new six-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission. The vehicle is manufactured at the company's Indiana plant in the US.
The seven-seat Kluger also includes a range of safety equipment including seven airbags, a reversing camera, vehicle stability and traction control, brake assist, electronic brake-force distribution, hill-start assist control and four-wheel disc brakes.
It features a pre-collision system with dynamic radar cruise control, lane departure alert and automatic high beam headlights.
Kluger will be available in two-wheel drive and all-wheel drive with the latter incorporating Dynamic Torque Control to aid driving dynamics.
Toyota Australia sales and marketing executive director Tony Cramb said: "New Kluger is the latest vehicle to embrace Toyota's commitment to producing vehicles with progressive styling, a more refined interior and with handling and ride comfort that rekindle the fun of driving."
