Pros and cons
What’s good
- High status appeal and flush deployable door handle design.
- Sub-2,000 cc engine tax advantage across all trims.
- High 212 mm ground clearance for urban speed bumps.
- Exceptional 22–25 km/L fuel economy: Advanced hybrid drive drastically cuts fuel costs in Nairobi traffic jams.
- Honda Magic Seats: Rear seats fold completely flat or flip upward to carry tall cargo like furniture.
- Sub-1,500 cc tax advantage: Qualifies for Kenya's lowest customs duty valuation category.
What’s not so good
- Compact rear cabin legroom.
- 9-speed automatic can feel busy in low-speed Nairobi traffic.
- i-DCD dual-clutch fluid sensitivity: Requires strict 40,000 km changes of specialized Honda Ultra DW-1 / ATF-TYPE 2.0 fluid.
- Hidden rear door handles: Exterior C-pillar handles can be unintuitive for first-time rear passengers.
