The Toyota Kluger has gotten more expensive, but it has also gained more equipment.
Effective from June 1, 2025, prices have been increased by up to $1490 across the large SUV lineup, with Toyota citing “increased costs and inflationary pressures both here and overseas”.
Toyota Australia sources the Kluger from the US, where it’s known as the Highlander.

The base Kluger GX and mid-spec GXL have gained the 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster previously exclusive to the top-spec Grande, while tyre pressure monitoring is now standard across the range.
The Kluger remains hybrid-only, following Toyota Australia’s decision in 2024 to drop the standard turbocharged 2.4-litre four-cylinder petrol engine.
This was part of a move to axe pure petrol power across all Toyota model lines in which a hybrid was available. The move also saw the removal of a front-wheel drive option in the Kluger lineup, resulting in a significantly higher base price.
