Pros and cons
What’s good
- Sub-2,000 cc & Sub-1,500 cc KRA tax advantage: 1.5L and 2.0L engines qualify for standard 25% excise tax bracket.
- 55–60 km Pure EV Range: Allows zero-emission daily commuting in Nairobi traffic without using a drop of petrol.
- 212 mm ground clearance & Terrain Response 2: Easily handles unpaved upcountry tracks and deep potholes.
- 309 hp & 540 Nm combined output: Rapid 6.6-second 0–100 km/h performance.
- Sub-2,500 cc tax bracket advantage: All 1.5T, 2.0L, 2.4L, and Hybrid engines qualify for the lower 25% KRA excise tax rate.
- High 208 mm ground clearance: Easily clears deep potholes, tall speed bumps, and rough upcountry murram tracks.
- Earth Dreams 1.5T climbing torque: Maintains altitude power up the Rift Valley escarpment without sluggishness.
- Optional 7-seater layout: Provides third-row versatility for growing families without stepping up to a large MPV.
What’s not so good
- Highway fuel consumption drops when battery is depleted (~8.5 L/100 km / 11.8 km/L).
- Battery charging on the move via engine increases fuel consumption.
- Compact 3rd-row legroom: Third-row seats are best suited for children or short city transfers.
- Firm ride on 18-inch Masterpiece alloys: Transmits minor vibrations on corrugated unpaved roads.
- CVT engine revs on heavy mountain climbs: Non-hybrid CVT holds elevated engine revs during steep highway passes.
