Pros and cons
What’s good
- First-class airline seating: Executive Lounge & S "C Package" feature power Ottoman recliner seats with heating/ventilation.
- Sub-2,500 cc KRA duty advantage: 2.5L Petrol and 2.5L Hybrid save over KSh 1.8M in excise duty vs 3.5L V6 models.
- Strong 12.5–15.0 km/L real-world hybrid efficiency: E-Four AWD hybrid delivers the lowest running costs of any Alphard in heavy Nairobi traffic.
- World-class VIP road presence: Bold chrome spindle front grille, sequential LED indicators, and twin glass sunroofs.
What’s not so good
- Low 160 mm ground clearance: Low front chin overhang requires cautious driving over tall estate speed bumps.
- High CRSP customs valuation on Executive Lounge trims: Premium luxury import duty baseline.
