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.

Stunning minimalist exterior design with flush door handles.
Sub-2,000 cc tax bracket advantage across major engine lines.
Cavernous 673 L cargo capacity.

High 204 mm ground clearance: Confidently clears deep ruts, tall speed bumps, and rough upcountry roads.
Sub-2,000 cc tax advantage: Both 2.0L diesel and petrol engines qualify for 25% KRA excise tax rate.
Practical 550 L boot space: Generous cargo capacity expanding to 1,600 L with 40:20:40 split rear seats.

What’s not so good

Compact rear cabin legroom.
9-speed automatic can feel busy in low-speed Nairobi traffic.

Touchscreen controls require familiarization.
Firm ride on 21-inch R-Dynamic alloy wheels.

Firm ride on 20-inch M Sport wheels: Low-profile tires transmit road roughness over corrugated gravel tracks.
DPF filter maintenance: 2.0L diesel models require periodic long highway runs to clean particulate filters.
