The fully-loaded Kluger Grande comes in at  $65,646 (2WD) or $69,617 (AWD), a lazy 10 grand more than the GXL.

On board you'll find the same six speaker stereo as the other two, although with the bigger 8.0-inch screen and DAB+, leather trim, 19-inch alloys, sunroof, multi-zone climate control, active cruise control, heated and ventilated front seats, a rear seat entertainment system, around view cameras, reversing cameras,  front and rear parking sensors, electric tailgate with glass hatch and a full-size spare.

The safety list is fully-loaded. Along with seven airbags, ABS, traction and stability controls, auto high beams, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, forward AEB (low and high speed), reverse cross traffic alert, blind sport monitoring and reverse cross-traffic alert.

Peter grew up in a house in Western Sydney where automotive passion extended to white Sigmas and Magnas. At school he discovered "those" magazines that weren't to be found in the house. Magazines that offered him the chance to sit in the driver's seat of cars he’d never even heard of let alone seen. His path to rebellion was set - he would love cars, know cars and want to write about cars, much to his family’s disgust. They wanted him to be a teacher. He bought a series of terrible cars and lusted after Ford Escort Cosworths, the Alfa Romeo 164 Q and occasionally kicked himself for selling his 1977 Alfa GTV. From 1.0-litre three cylinders to roaring V12s, Peter has driven them all and can't wait to tell you all about it.
