Pros and cons
What’s good
- Futuristic 3D i-Cockpit: Holographic instrument cluster and compact sport steering wheel.
- Smooth Aisin 8-speed automatic: Real torque-converter gearbox avoids CVT rubber-band feel.
- Sub-1,200 cc tax advantage: Low KRA customs valuation keeps import duty minimal.
What’s not so good
- 150 mm ground clearance: Mind steep speed bumps when fully loaded.
- Wet timing belt inspection: Requires Total Quartz Ineo 0W-20 oil to preserve wet timing belt.
