Pros and cons
What’s good
- Outstanding 28.5 km/L hybrid efficiency: Lowest daily running costs for urban taxi and personal commuting.
- Sub-1,000 cc and sub-1,500 cc KRA duty relief: Qualifies for Kenya's lowest customs tax valuation brackets.
- Tight 4.8 m turning circle: Ultra-agile navigation through dense Nairobi estate traffic and tight parking bays.
- Toyota Safety Sense standard: Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Departure Alert, and Turn Assist on G/Z trims.
What’s not so good
- Modest rear legroom: XP210 rear seat knee space is tighter than the older Vitz XP130 generation.
- Low 140 mm ground clearance: Requires cautious driving over tall estate speed bumps.
