Pros and cons
What’s good
- Smooth Camry-based unibody ride: Absorbs highway expansion joints and rough upcountry roads without truck-like body bounce.
- Sub-2.5L KRA tax classification (2.4L): The 2,362 cc engine stays inside KRA's sub-2,500 cc valuation tier.
- Impressive 272 hp V6 Hybrid performance: The 3.3L THS II Hybrid delivers 0–100 km/h in 7.4 seconds with 17.8 km/L economy.
- Proven Toyota spare parts cross-compatibility: Engine and suspension components share high interchangeability with the Toyota Harrier and Camry.
- Sub-2,000 cc & Sub-1,500 cc KRA tax advantage: 1.5L and 2.0L engines qualify for standard 25% excise tax bracket.
- 55–60 km Pure EV Range: Allows zero-emission daily commuting in Nairobi traffic without using a drop of petrol.
- 212 mm ground clearance & Terrain Response 2: Easily handles unpaved upcountry tracks and deep potholes.
- 309 hp & 540 Nm combined output: Rapid 6.6-second 0–100 km/h performance.
- Exceptional long-distance ride comfort: Plush suspension absorbs upcountry road ripples effortlessly.
- High 213–220 mm ground clearance: Easily tackles unpaved murram roads, ruts, and deep puddles.
- Sub-2,500 cc KRA tax advantage: Both 2.5L and 2.4T engines qualify for 25% excise tax bracket.
What’s not so good
- Thirsty 3.0L V6 petrol engine: The 1MZ-FE V6 consumes 7–9 km/L in city traffic.
- Dated 4-speed automatic on 2.4L models: Lacks an overdrive 5th gear for optimum highway cruising economy.
- Highway fuel consumption drops when battery is depleted (~8.5 L/100 km / 11.8 km/L).
- Battery charging on the move via engine increases fuel consumption.
- Compact 3rd-row legroom: Third-row seats are best suited for children or short city transfers.
- Long 4.87-meter overall length: Requires care when parallel parking in tight Nairobi streets.
- Lineartronic CVT under towing: Demands auxiliary CVT fluid cooler for heavy trailer towing.
