Pros and cons

What’s good
  • Hatchback-like driving dynamics: Low roofline and rigid chassis deliver superior high-speed cornering stability.
  • Sub-2,500 cc import duty advantage: 1.8L engine qualifies for 25% KRA excise tax rate.
  • Reliable i-VTEC powertrain: R18A engine uses a durable timing chain and handles high mileage smoothly.
  • 7-seater low-slung MPV versatility: Combines station wagon car-like driving dynamics with 3-row seating capacity.
  • Sub-2,000 cc import duty advantage: Both 1.8L and 2.0L engines qualify for KRA's 25% excise duty tax bracket.
  • High local resale demand: Exceptional capital retention and universal spare parts availability across Kenya.
  • Cavernous 580 L boot space when 3rd row is folded: Perfect for upcountry passenger luggage and cargo.
What’s not so good
  • Low 150 mm ride height: Requires careful navigation over steep speed bumps when fully loaded.
  • Third-row legroom: Rearmost seats are best reserved for children or short city trips.
  • Production ended in late 2017/2018: Importable units face 8-year age cutoff deadlines in 2026.
  • Low 150 mm ground clearance: Requires care over tall speed bumps when carrying 7 full passengers.
