The CarTell take

We have not driven this yet. On paper, here is how it stacks up.

Strongest suit on paper: 5.5 L/100 km claim on the e:HEV is achievable in real driving. Honda Sensing standard, 5-star ANCAP against the 2024 protocol, and fixed national drive-away pricing with no negotiation games.
The trade-off: e:HEV is LX and RS only, no entry-level hybrid path. e:HEV tow rating drops to 750 kg braked, half the petrol's 1,500 kg.
Check before you buy: RS e:HEV at $63,900 drive-away pushes into Toyota Kluger Hybrid territory. Cross-shop the LX e:HEV first.
Best suited to: Families who want a polished medium SUV with fixed drive-away pricing. The 7-seat VTi LX is rare at this petrol-grade price, and the e:HEV grades make a serious hybrid case for the LX buyer who can stretch.
