Pros and cons
What’s good
- Sub-2,500 cc KRA tax advantage (2.5L): The 2,499 cc 4GR-FSE engine qualifies for the 25% excise duty rate.
- Smooth V6 performance & RWD handling: Near 50:50 weight distribution provides exceptional highway overtaking balance and cornering stability.
- Timeless sporty executive styling: Triple LED headlights, dual chrome exhaust outlets, and plush Alcantara/leather interior.
- Strong local resale value: One of the most liquid secondhand vehicles in Nairobi and major Kenyan urban centers.
What’s not so good
- Low 155 mm ground clearance: Requires cautious driving over tall estate speed bumps and unpaved upcountry access roads.
- Discontinued model production: Production ended in December 2019, making clean 2018/2019 low-mileage JDM units increasingly exclusive.
