Pros and cons
What’s good

- Torque-rich 620–650 Nm diesel performance: xDrive30d accelerates effortlessly on single-lane highway passes.
- High 212 mm ground clearance: Easily clears estate speed bumps and rough unpaved roads across Nairobi.
- Legendary B58 petrol reliability: The 3.0L xDrive40i engine offers incredible tuning potential and proven mechanical durability.
- Sub-2,000 cc KRA import duty tax savings.

What’s not so good
- Sloping rear roofline: Slightly reduces rearmost headroom for rear passengers over 6 feet tall.

- Remote Touch trackpad interface requires patience.
- 6-speed automatic feels traditional compared to 8-speed rivals.
