About this vehicle
The Vanguard is the vehicle most clients end up in. It has the raised ride height and composure of an SUV without the fuel appetite or the workmanlike ride of a pickup, and the 2.4 petrol automatic makes it undemanding in Blantyre traffic.
It suits arriving executives who want something presentable at the hotel door, and families who need boot space for luggage on a lakeshore run without moving up to an eight-seater.
Comfortable over long distances — the Blantyre to Lilongwe stretch of the M1 is a genuinely easy drive in this car.
Best for
- Executive and corporate visitors
- Family trips with luggage
- Long-distance travel on tarmac
- Hotel and airport arrivals
