Pros and cons

What’s good
  • Sub-1,500 cc KRA duty advantage: 1,496 cc engine qualifies for lower tax valuation baseline.
  • Exceptional 19.5–22.5 km/L hybrid economy: Ultra-low operating costs for urban executive commuting.
  • Class-leading rear legroom & rear AC vents: Executive rear-seat comfort rivaling mid-size sedans.
  • LED headlights & push-button start: Standard on LX and EX trims for modern executive styling.
What’s not so good
  • Low 135 mm ground clearance: Requires careful speed bump clearance in Nairobi residential estates.
  • Smaller boot capacity on Hybrid models (341 L): High-voltage battery pack occupies lower trunk floor space.
