Pros and cons
What’s good
- Adaptive air suspension height: Adjustable ground clearance from 210 mm up to 245 mm for off-road tracks.
- Sub-2,500 cc duty savings on 2.0L TFSI: Qualifies for KRA's 25% excise duty bracket.
- Electrically folding 3rd-row seats: Expands boot space to 770 L with push-button convenience.
- Exceptional high-speed stability: MLB Evo chassis provides limousine-like ride comfort on highways.
- Sub-2,000 cc KRA import duty tax savings.
- Exceptionally quiet, refined cabin with Mark Levinson audio.
- Reliable Toyota 8AR-FTS turbo engine mechanicals.
What’s not so good
- 5.05-meter overall length: Demands large parking spaces in Nairobi shopping malls.
- Air suspension strut wear: Pneumatic air bags require replacement after high-mileage use.
- Remote Touch trackpad interface requires patience.
- 6-speed automatic feels traditional compared to 8-speed rivals.
