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 reliability and local resale value: The standard choice for corporate titans, politicians, and safari exploration.
- 650 Nm V8 Twin-Turbo Diesel Torque: Effortless 4.5L diesel pulling power with up to 1,200 km cruising range on its 138 L dual tanks.
- KDSS & AHC suspension tech: KDSS suppresses highway body roll while AHC raises ground clearance over unpaved upcountry tracks.
- Luxurious 7/8-seater cabin room: Multi-zone climate control, cool box console, and rear entertainment screens.
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.
- 35% KRA luxury excise tax rate: High baseline CRSP duty schedules.
- Heavy fuel consumption on V8 petrol models (4.0–4.8 km/L city).
