EXTERIOR
The Toyota Noah’s latest generation has really improved in aesthetics and appearance compared to its predecessors. An upright nose immediately distinguishes the front fascia. The large grille gives the Noah a more substantial look, as LED headlights and daytime running lights add a modern look.
Sliding doors on the side profile allow easy entry and exit. The wheelbase is somewhat long, resulting in a spacious cabin. The rear is quite functional, featuring vertical taillights and a large tailgate. Roof rails add a rugged appearance even though it is not a formidable off-roader. Don’t risk it by going to the village in Karatina, you better get the Toyota Fortuner.
INTERIOR & TECHNOLOGY
The Toyota Noah has a spacious and practical cabin that anybody with a large family or people travelling in a group will definitely appreciate. With a seating arrangement for 7 people, each occupant has plenty of legroom and headroom.

The dashboard is covered with hard plastic for maximum durability. Its versatility comes around when you have no passengers to carry but goods to carry. For more space, you can fold the second and third row seats. If the freight is much heavier, you need to consider the Toyota Dyna.
PERFORMANCE: How Does it Handle Kenyan Roads?
The Toyota Noah is good enough for city-to-city driving and long-distance travel. Its upright nose provides excellent visibility for the driver. On the highway, it is quite fast, comfortable, and has predictable handling, although it is recommended to slow down when approaching tight corners.
Off-roading is not its cup of tea. If you must join the Mara Nomads in their expedition in the Chalbi Desert, it is better to add a Changan Hunter in your parking garage.
