Pros and cons
What’s good
- Hydraulic Body Motion Control (HBMC): Fluid-linked suspension suppresses body roll on high-speed tarmac curves while allowing maximum off-road wheel articulation.
- 140 L dual fuel tank capacity: Provides 1,000+ km long-distance cruising range across upcountry routes.
- Exceptional 273 mm ground clearance: Effortlessly traverses deep water crossings and unpaved terrain.
- Plentiful 7/8-seater cabin space: Generous legroom across all three rows with Bose 13-speaker audio.
- Unrivaled prestige and road presence across Kenya.
- Bulletproof 3UR-FE V8 mechanical reliability.
- Active Height Control (AHC) air suspension ride comfort.
What’s not so good
- High fuel consumption: 5.6L V8 requires budget planning for heavy daily urban stop-and-go driving (~5.5 km/L city).
- 35% KRA excise tax rate: Large displacement engines trigger maximum import duty schedules.
- Heavy fuel consumption in urban Nairobi traffic.
- High import duty investment.
