Toyota Future Ev Kluger

Toyota's family-friendly Kluger SUV is due a facelift. The seven-seater is now approaching the half way point of its eight-year lifespan, which means big changes are on the way. Toyota has announced it will invest more money into US production of electric vehicles from 2025.

Furthermore, the Japanese automaker has announced it will build an all-new, three. In this video, we bring you an exclusive first look at the newly unveiled 2026 Kluger, showcasing its bold design updates, tech-packed interior, improved performance, and hybrid powertrains. Next Kluger is set to offer seven.

The next version of the Toyota Kluger seven-seat family SUV could gain plug-in hybrid power in Australia, potentially with range. The all-new Kluger EV arrives seven years after the current model, skipping plug-in hybrid technology entirely. Expected to debut at November's LA Motor Show, Australian sales will likely commence in the second half of 2026, marking a significant milestone for Toyota's local electrification strategy.

The Kia EV9 and Hyundai Ioniq 9 are logical rivals, but their high pricing starting at close to $100,000 limits buyer interest. Toyota is yet to demonstrate a particularly sharp pricing policy for EVs in Australia, so. Toyota's Kentucky factory currently produces the Toyota RAV4 and Camry - plus the closely related Lexus ES - for the North American market, while the Highlander/Kluger is produced in Indiana for all markets bar China, where it's assembled locally.

We may have already seen what could become the electric Kluger in the form of the bZ Large SUV concept, revealed in December 2021 among 15. Automotive News speculates the bZ5X will be larger than the Kluger EV. This means the former will likely have a larger third row and a large battery pack, theoretically meaning more range.

Toyota is also reportedly still working on a Corolla-based unibody ute, which will give the Ford Maverick a proper hybrid rival. AutoExec Summary: Toyota is set to unveil an all-new battery-powered seven-seater EV, sharing its nameplate and design with the upcoming 2026 Toyota Kluger (Highlander in the US). While the EV will likely utilise the TNGA-K architecture, it may also be based on a new platform.

The Kluger EV is expected to launch in Australia in late 2026, with limited competition from the Kia EV9 and Hyundai.
