With its premium design and robust build, it's particularly appealing to middle-class Kenyans looking for a reliable and comfortable vehicle for both city and occasional upcountry trips. The XC40's compact size makes it well-suited for navigating Nairobi's traffic, while its elevated ride height provides a commanding view of the road and decent ground clearance for rougher roads.
