Hate to say it, but the Toyota Kluger in its current form may be a good option. It took Toyota nearly a decade to get there, but they finally caught up to the Territory, all their previous attempts were second rate. Mazda isn’t too bad with their SUV’s either.

I think it's a reoccupation that any SUV for our market has to be:
1. already developed in RHD and
2.have a diesel option.
I'm hoping that Ford is looking towards next Gen Explorer as a global product
in RHD with 3.0 V6 Powerstroke. If Ford is refocusing on crossovers and SUVs,
then it's high time that Australia got a few more...
