    Let’s get to know the facelifted Toyota Kluger in detail -

    Powertrain: For the model year 2023, the Kluger SUV benefits from a more potent engine than before. Replacing the naturally-aspirated 3.5-litre V6 petrol engine is a new turbo unit borrowed from the Lexus NX. The new 2.4-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol mill generates a maximum power of 269 PS along with a peak torque of 420 Nm. Compared to the previously available engine, the new powertrain brings a 70 Nm hike in torque.

    Transmission: The power pumped by the new Lexus mill is transmitted to the wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission, offered in either front or all-wheel-drive layout.

    Infotainment features: The base GX trim gets a bigger multi-information display, a 7-inch unit over the earlier 4.2-inch. The mid-spec GXL and top-spec Grande variants now get 12.3-inch displays over the earlier 8-inch units. The Grande transmission now also gets a 12.3-inch fully digital instrument panel.

    In addition, the new Kluger SUV comes equipped with wireless Apple CarPlay, wired Android Auto, improved voice recognition, and complimentary 12-month Toyota Connected Services.
