Pros and cons
What’s good
- 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.
- Sub-2,500 cc KRA tax bracket savings across all models.
- 50–80 km pure EV zero-emission commuting on PHEV.
- Standard 7-seat layout on petrol variants.
What’s not so good
- 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.
- PHEV is strictly a 5-seater due to rear motor battery pack placement under boot floor.
- CVT rubber-band effect under heavy mountain climbs.
