The reason why premio is expensive Is due to it demand huko Japan by Kenyan importers kwa auction the bids starts at higher price than allion ...same case na kadudu Vitz
That acceleration was excellent in my view. Remember it is a 1.5cc car on a heavy body and it still managed to score better than some other cars.. Secondly, there is an allion 2.0.. Unlike the premio, whose engine capacities are denoted by F(1.5cc), X(1.8cc), and G(2.0cc), the allion ones are denoted as A1.5, A1.8, and A2.0.. If it was an A1.8, it would clock 100 in approximately 12Sec.. Then I believe the CVT provides a better acceleration than the traditional automatic transmission.. My theory for it is that the CVT holds the gear at an optimum power/torque point to allow the car to reach higher speeds unlike the automatic, which wastes some minutes shifting.. So this particular allion is excellent..
@@phillipmusili5880 They are, my brother.. CVTs hold gears at optimum torque levels for better acceleration until the car attains specific speed..

I fell in love with the Allion in 2013 when my bro came home in one back at shaggz maan it was the talk of the village then it's was AWD SEMA kutesa ocha maan now we own a Toyota crown and a mark x but I still want to buy an allion
I have an Allion 2007 A18 2WD, she is just a normal ordinary car but realiable as F**. I cannot complain. When she is faulty, i just switch her off and switch her on and she keeps moving! On the city i get 13km/l and on highways i get 16 or 17km/l. One rule of thumb is just try buy original parts from Toyota Kenya for better service, ie important things like Oil, Sparks, CVT Fluids, Belts etc
If I was to be given to option between a premio a nd alion I would go for premio and not the new model premio but rather 240 from 2002 to 2008.This model are reliable and very effective and specious almost like a Mercedes ,it's heavy and the leg spacing and boot it had a good space compared with the new Allion and premio I have had 2model and I can clearly testify
Allion 2 liter ziko. Secondly, acceleration is worse on awd compared to 2wd. Third, hapo kwa feul consumption, AWD hukunywa more at higher speeds compared to a similar car that's 2wd. Personally I'd prefer a 2wd any day over the AWD. Finally, some spare parts of the AWD are a tiny bit more expensive than the 2wd for example the rear shock absobers. Get the AWD if you really really need it
Apo kwa mafuta bro kidogo haikuangi ukweli ..for example if gari ya 2 wheel drive ita kunywa let's say 5k kwa safari ya 4 wheel ita kunywa maybe 5,300 ivi at most plus al wheel drive ni more stable kwa barabara na kuokoa uki enda ocha na kuna matope 4 wheel ni poa boss I have a mark x 4 wheel trust you me it's value for money
It would be a good idea for him to discuss it. My sister has owned a white Ipsum with a 2 liter engine since around 2013 which has been to Western and Mombasa literally all over and it is still in good condition!
@@KingoftheRoad-2023 actually 1800cc is efficient than 1500cc especially in long distance drives... Equally when Valvematic system opens valves fully you feel a punch of power
It would be good to also get a review of 260 vs 265 i.e. the 2WD vs 4WD of the Premios and Allions. I used to own a 245 Premio and i realised it pick up was slower compared to the 240 premio. However, the 245 felt more firmly grounded when it picks up speed compared to the 240.
265 will definitely drag for the fulltime AWD effect. Not like the probox/succeed that will toggle between 2wd on tarmack and engage the rear wheels whenever it senses a wheel spin. However, the transfer of the 265 ikileta upuzi and may prove costly to repair or replace, it's easier to do away with it and convert to FWD without causing a light at the dash.
