Pros and cons
What’s good
- Sub-1,500 cc import duty advantage: Qualifies for KRA's lowest tax valuation bracket and 20%–25% excise rate.
- Outstanding 25.6 km/L fuel economy: Delivers exceptional fuel cost savings for daily commuting.
- Executive sedan styling: Elegant coupe-like profile with full LED lighting and quiet cabin acoustics.
- Honda Sensing suite standard: Features adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and collision mitigation.
What’s not so good
- Low 135 mm ground clearance: Requires cautious driving over steep speed bumps and unpaved estate roads.
- Sloping rear roofline: Slightly reduces rear headroom for taller adult passengers above 6 feet.
