2022 Subaru Stella in Kenya: Review, Prices & Specs
2022 Subaru Stella: A Carimports.co.ke Review
The Big Picture
The 2022 Subaru Stella is the pragmatic sibling in the Kei car family. It is a rebadged Daihatsu Move (6th Gen). Unlike the "Super Height" Subaru Chiffon (which has sliding doors and a high roof), the Stella keeps things simple with four conventional hinged doors and a lower, lighter body. This makes it more stable on the highway and slightly more fuel-efficient. It is the perfect runabout for those who don't need the vertical space of a van.
Quick Specs
Engine Options & Model Codes
The Stella uses the dependable Daihatsu KF engine family:
- L / G (Non-Turbo): 52 HP. STANDARD The naturally aspirated 660cc engine is sufficient for Nairobi traffic. It is simpler and cheaper to maintain than the turbo.
- Custom RS (Turbo): 64 HP. If you live in hilly areas like Limuru or Kiambu, this is the one to get. The turbo torque (100 Nm) prevents the engine from screaming on inclines.
Interior & Practicality
- 90-Degree Doors: The rear doors open almost 90 degrees wide. This makes loading child seats or large boxes incredibly easy compared to a standard hatchback.
- Dashboard Utility: It features multiple cup holders, a tray for your phone, and a high-mounted gear lever to allow movement between the front seats.
Fuel Efficiency & Ownership Costs
- Consumption: 25–28 km/l (Non-Turbo). It is one of the most frugal cars on the market.
- Service: Parts are interchangeable with the Daihatsu Move and Toyota Pixis. Oil filters and brake pads are cheap and widely available.
- Tyres: Uses 14-inch tyres (155/65R14). A set of 4 quality tyres costs less than Ksh 20,000.
Suitability for Kenyan Roads
City Commuter: With 150mm ground clearance, it handles speed bumps well if you slow down. However, the suspension is tuned for Japanese roads, so it can feel a bit firm on corrugated dirt roads. It is best used as a tarmac car.
Safety & Reliability
The 2022 model comes with Smart Assist III (SA3), which includes autonomous emergency braking and pedestrian detection. It is a very safe city car for its size. Mechanical reliability is excellent.

The Ci Verdict
Who is this for? The practical driver who wants a reliable, fuel-efficient car with easy access (wide doors) but doesn't want to pay the "sliding door tax." Who is it NOT for? Status seekers—it is a basic transport appliance.
