Pros and cons
What’s good
- Sub-2,500 cc import duty advantage: Both 2.0L Hybrid and 2.4L Petrol qualify for KRA 25% excise duty rate.
- First-class Ottoman seating: Second-row captain chairs feature power recline, footrests, and armrests.
- Frugal e:HEV hybrid powertrain: Delivers 20+ km/L in urban traffic for a full-size 7-seater family MPV.
- Low floor height: Enables easy cabin entry for elderly passengers and young children.
What’s not so good
- Modest 150 mm ground clearance: Low front lip requires care over steep estate speed bumps when fully loaded.
- Firm suspension setup: Slightly firmer ride on 18-inch Absolute alloy wheels on rough roads.
- Limited boot space with all 3 rows occupied: Requires folding third row flat for large luggage bags.
