Pros and cons
What’s good
- Class-leading 610 L SW Estate cargo capacity: Ideal for long family road trips to Nakuru or Kisumu.
- Ultra-frugal 23+ km/L BlueHDi diesel: Long-distance highway touring with minimal fuel stops.
- Sub-1,500 cc KRA duty advantage: Substantial tax savings compared to 2.0L European competitors.
What’s not so good
- 145 mm ground clearance: Demands careful navigation over rough unpaved estate roads.
- Rear legroom on hatchback: SW wagon offers longer wheelbase and better rear legroom.
