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.
- Modern TNGA platform entry: Superior chassis rigidity, sharp handling, and excellent ride refinement on local roads.
- Sub-2,500 cc KRA duty advantage: All 2.0L Petrol and 2.5L Hybrid variants qualify for the lower 25% excise tax bracket.
- High 200 mm ground clearance: Easily clears deep potholes, tall speed bumps, and rough upcountry estate roads.
- 21.0 km/L hybrid efficiency: Exceptional fuel savings in heavy Nairobi bumper-to-bumper traffic jams.
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.
- High KRA CRSP customs valuation: Substantial import duty investment compared to earlier 4th-gen RAV4 models.
- Wind noise at high highway speeds: Minor cabin wind rustle around side mirrors over 120 km/h.
