Pros and cons
What’s good
- Phenomenal ride isolation and quiet cabin: Suppresses road noise and vibration on rough unpaved roads.
- Sub-2,000 cc KRA duty advantage: Entire 2.0L petrol, diesel, and T8 PHEV lineup qualifies for the lower 25% excise tax bracket.
- High 216 mm ground clearance: Easily clears deep potholes, tall speed bumps, and rough upcountry estate roads.
- 407–455 hp T8 Recharge PHEV performance: Launches 0–100 km/h in 4.9 seconds with zero-emission city commuting.
- Stunning minimalist exterior design with flush door handles.
- Sub-2,000 cc tax bracket advantage across major engine lines.
- Cavernous 673 L cargo capacity.
What’s not so good
- High CRSP customs valuation: Import tax duty represents a solid luxury investment.
- Optional air suspension compressor care: Rear air bellows require inspection over rough roads.
- Touchscreen controls require familiarization.
- Firm ride on 21-inch R-Dynamic alloy wheels.
