Pros and cons

What’s good
  • Sub-1,500 cc KRA import duty advantage: Qualifies for Kenya's lowest commercial tax valuation baseline.
  • Exceptional 22.6 km/L hybrid efficiency: Drastically reduces monthly fuel bills for urban delivery fleets.
  • Flat load floor with 400 kg payload rating: Ultra-spacious cargo bed designed for heavy goods transportation.
  • Unrivaled spare parts availability: Components are available in every town across Kenya at low prices.
What’s not so good
  • Basic utilitarian cabin trim: DX models feature basic plastics, manual windows, and thin rear bench padding.
  • Stiff rear leaf spring ride comfort: Bouncy ride quality when driven empty without cargo weight.
