2004 rear ac

[Burlistic]

Hi. I am looking at buying a Kluger as a family car. The main requirement is good ac, as my current car cannot deal with the hot summer days, and a little extra room for the occasional visitor.

I have been to see a nice example tonight and tried out the controls on the rear (third row). Nothing seemed to come out of the vent on the floor as expected.

Can anyone explain this? Might it be an issue with the car?

Also, how goes the Kluger fair on hot days? Is it up to a long summer in Perth, and will the kids in the back be kept cool?

Thanks for any advice

I can't say I've ridden in the back in summer, but with the rear A/C was certainly appreciated by our teens last summer. The ability to shut it off from the dash is handy, too!

The front aircon copes well with Perth heat, some idiot bought a dark grey Kluger and it gets fairly warm sat in the sun, but the A/C has no problem winding the temp back down. As good or better than the VE Dunnydore I had prior.

The air con can be switch to the rear as well on the air con control panel . the air comes for under the drivers and passengers seat.( make sure that under the seats are clear) It reduces the air to the front of the cabin but. The back does not air con as well as it should and needs a bit of time to cool the whole car. The air con is a bit weak in the 2004 to 2007 model Kluger but after 5 minutes it does an ok job in the rear row of seats
