Pros and cons

What’s good
  • Sub-1,500 cc KRA import duty advantage: 1,496 cc engine qualifies for lower tax valuation baseline.
  • Exceptional 18.0–20.5 km/L real-world hybrid efficiency (22.0–24.5 km/L on the 3rd Gen): Ultra-low operating costs for urban commuting and commercial passenger transport.
  • Practical dual power sliding doors: Allows easy passenger access in tight Nairobi parking bays.
  • DIVE flat-folding seat mechanism: 3rd-row seats fold completely underneath the 2nd-row seats, creating a flat cargo floor.
  • Toyota Safety Sense: Pre-collision braking, Lane Departure Alert, and Automatic High Beam standard on G/Z trims.
What’s not so good
  • Low 145 mm ground clearance: Low front chin overhang requires cautious driving over tall estate speed bumps.
  • Modest power under full 7-passenger load: Requires steady acceleration when climbing steep highway inclines (e.g. Limuru / Naivasha).
