What’s not so good
- High CRSP customs valuation: Import duty and taxes represent a significant investment, especially on V8 badges.

- 2.0L NA can feel underpowered when loaded: Naturally aspirated 3ZR-FAE laboring on steep Limuru highway inclines.

- Sloping rear roofline: Slightly reduces rearmost headroom for rear passengers over 6 feet tall.
- High CRSP customs valuation: 3.0L and 4.4L engine variants trigger the 35% KRA excise duty tax bracket.
