2019 Toyota Probox: A Carimports.co.ke Review
The Big Picture
The 2019 Toyota Probox (XP160 Facelift) needs no introduction. It is the workhorse of Kenya. Designed purely for utility, it sacrifices comfort for durability and load capacity. If you have a business, this is an asset, not a liability.
Engine & Load Capacity
The 1.5L (1NZ-FE) is the engine to get for hauling loads. It has enough torque for steep hills. The 1.3L is very economical but struggles with heavy cargo. The rear suspension is stiff (leaf springs on some, coils on others) designed for 400kg+ loads.

The Ci Verdict
