How to Protect Your Toyota Kluger From External Elements
Toyota's most popular SUV is the RAV4 but often times this urban gentleman can be overshadowed by the sheer size of its bigger brother the Kluger. This is a much larger SUV that has much sleeker lines than the RAV4. It's as reliable as Toyota's get and its running costs are quite low for such a large vehicle.
Although fuel consumption can be high, that's only in urban areas. The Kluger has simple interior styling but one that is quite practical. The infotainment is quite improved upon over previous generations and the modern look isn't occupied by touch-sensitive areas but rather with good old knobs and buttons.
Accessories
Bonnet Guard
Protection comes in different form factors and one of the sleekest in design is a bonnet guard. Also called a bonnet protector, it's a piece of plastic that goes on the lip of the bonnet and it keeps the windscreen clean from both stone chips and bug splatters. These essential Toyota Kluger accessories in Australia can also help improve vehicle aerodynamics as they reduce drag and thus help improve fuel efficiency in the long run.
Rain Guards
Another type of guard or set of guards you can put on your Kluger are rain guards. Often called wind deflectors, these Toyota Kluger parts and accessories are made to prevent that fluttering sound you get when travelling at higher speeds with your windows cracked open. Rain guards also protect your Kluger's interior from getting wet when it's raining outside and you want some of that cool breeze in. With rain guards on you also get to protect your eyesight from the sun as it beams its rays from the sides.
Nudge Bar
A more serious type of protection you should consider getting for your Kluger is a nudge bar. Nudge bars can keep you safe from frontal impacts as they're made of metal and go on the front bumper, in front of the radiator. Nudge bars are made more for urban environments but if you want to take your Kluger off-roading then you should consider going for a bull bar. These Toyota Kluger aftermarket accessories are much larger and heavier but offer better protection which is especially important in animal-strike prone areas.
Cover
Parking your Kluger anywhere can be bad for its paint and much harder to clean it up afterwards, especially when seasons change, which is why you should invest in a car cover. Covers are made to keep bird droppings, tree sap and the elements from making the pain of your Kluger look like it's been there for 30 years. But you don't have to park outside to get a cover as there are indoor car covers that help keep your Kluger protected from dust and bugs.
Mud Flaps
Although the Kluger isn't strictly an off-road vehicle it can be driven on a beaten path more than most urban crossovers. But when you do so more frequently you should consider fitting mudguards. These Toyota Kluger aftermarket accessories don't just keep the wheel well and the underside of the sill safe from mud but they also keep them safe from getting corroded rather quickly. It's mud that speeds up this process and the more you have it in those areas the worse it is for your Kluger.
Headlight Covers
The headlights, as much as they have advanced over the decades, are exposed to a lot of debris that can easily damage them. This is where headlight covers come into play as these Toyota Lluger aftermarket accessories are a clear protective film that goes over the headlights. This way the headlights are safe from scratches and cracks as well as from UV light. Meaning they won't turn yellow as quickly as headlights without covers on them. When the covers get worn out it's much more cost-effective to replace them with new ones than to get new headlights or to get them polished.
Side Steps
The Kluger is a large vehicle there's no doubt about that and while this may be a good thing for boot space and third-row passengers, it can be a bad thing for others. If you have a bad hip or elderly passengers you might want to invest in side steps or running boards. These platforms go on the sides of your Kluger to make it easier to enter and get out of your vehicles. These Toyota Kluger parts and accessories can also be retractable and only pop out when you open a door or unlock your vehicle.
Wheel Arches
Another set of popular Toyota Kluger accessories in Australia are flared wheel arches. With them, you can protect the wheel well from even more mud as well as other flying debris. What you also get with flared wheel arches is a more aggressive look which is what you want on a vehicle such as the Kluger. There are different styles of flared wheel arches that can make your Kluger have a more minimalistic look too.
