Pros and cons

What’s good

TNGA-F ultra-rigid chassis: 50% increase in frame rigidity delivers Land Cruiser 300 levels of high-speed stability and off-road durability.
Sub-2,500 cc KRA tax savings on 2.4T models: The 2,393 cc T24A-FTS engine qualifies for the 25% excise duty tax rate.
SDM front stabilizer disconnect: Decouples sway bars at the press of a button for extreme wheel articulation over unpaved upcountry tracks.
326 hp & 630 Nm i-FORCE MAX Hybrid power: Rapid acceleration and towing capacity.

Unrivaled status and road presence: The premier choice for VIP diplomats, executives, and government leaders.
Massive 700 Nm V6 Twin-Turbo diesel torque: Effortless 10-speed automatic acceleration across any highway or safari track.
E-KDSS electronic suspension: Automatically disconnects stabilizer bars for supreme off-road wheel articulation.
Power fold-flat third row: Third-row seats fold flush into the boot floor, expanding storage to 1,131 liters.

What’s not so good

35% KRA excise duty tax bracket on 2.8D diesel: The 2,755 cc engine exceeds 2,500 cc, triggering higher customs duties.

High CRSP import valuation: Substantial import tax investment exceeding KSh 18.5M+ total landed cost.
Wide 1.99-meter body width: Requires extra attention when maneuvering through narrow estate gates or parking bays.
