Pros and cons
What’s good
- Sub-2,000 cc tax bracket advantage: 2.0L engines qualify for KRA's 25% excise duty tax rate.
- Outstanding B47 diesel efficiency: 320d returns up to 19+ km/L on Nairobi-Mombasa highway runs.
- Driver-focused ergonomics: G20 Live Cockpit Professional with iDrive 7/8 delivers intuitive digital control.
What’s not so good
- Firm M Sport suspension: Stiff damper tuning transmits pavement texture over uneven estate roads.
- Low 140 mm ground clearance: Requires cautious navigation over steep speed bumps in residential Nairobi.
