Pros and cons
What’s good
- High status appeal and flush deployable door handle design.
- Sub-2,000 cc engine tax advantage across all trims.
- High 212 mm ground clearance for urban speed bumps.
- High 204 mm ground clearance: Confidently clears deep ruts, tall speed bumps, and rough upcountry roads.
- Sub-2,000 cc tax advantage: Both 2.0L diesel and petrol engines qualify for 25% KRA excise tax rate.
- Practical 550 L boot space: Generous cargo capacity expanding to 1,600 L with 40:20:40 split rear seats.
What’s not so good
- Compact rear cabin legroom.
- 9-speed automatic can feel busy in low-speed Nairobi traffic.
- Firm ride on 20-inch M Sport wheels: Low-profile tires transmit road roughness over corrugated gravel tracks.
- DPF filter maintenance: 2.0L diesel models require periodic long highway runs to clean particulate filters.
