Pros and cons
What’s good
- Exceptional 22–25 km/L fuel economy: Advanced hybrid drive drastically cuts fuel costs in Nairobi traffic jams.
- Honda Magic Seats: Rear seats fold completely flat or flip upward to carry tall cargo like furniture.
- Sub-1,500 cc tax advantage: Qualifies for Kenya's lowest customs duty valuation category.
- Stunning minimalist exterior design with flush door handles.
- Sub-2,000 cc tax bracket advantage across major engine lines.
- Cavernous 673 L cargo capacity.
- Sub-2,500 cc import duty advantage: 2.0T engine qualifies for 25% KRA excise tax rate.
- Shared EA888 engine block: Practical parts sourcing and local maintenance in Nairobi.
- Lightning-fast 7-speed PDK transmission: Instant gearshifts deliver true Porsche sports car feel.
What’s not so good
- i-DCD dual-clutch fluid sensitivity: Requires strict 40,000 km changes of specialized Honda Ultra DW-1 / ATF-TYPE 2.0 fluid.
- Hidden rear door handles: Exterior C-pillar handles can be unintuitive for first-time rear passengers.
- Touchscreen controls require familiarization.
- Firm ride on 21-inch R-Dynamic alloy wheels.
- Firm sports-tuned ride on 20-inch wheels: Transmits road texture over unpaved corrugated tracks.
- Compact rear legroom: Rearest cabin space best suited for medium-height adult passengers.
