Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) are known for doing numerous covert operations across the nation while driving Subaru Outbacks.
In order to hide their identities during raids, investigators frequently use sport utility vehicles (SUVs) with outdated or swapped license plates. The car is so well-known in the nation that it even has the moniker “Subaru ya Mambaru.”
Miller Kyallo, a Nairobi-based automotive specialist, claimed in an interview on Friday, January 13, that detectives favor the Subaru Outback due to its adaptability, comfort, and driving experience.
“The Subaru Outback is a capable SUV that can handle both rocky terrain and well-kept highways. It has an advantage over the competition thanks to its acceleration, body shape, and dependability “According to Miller
Miller claims that the Subaru Legacy and its Impreza equivalent serve as the basis for the Subaru Outback. The tagline for the Outback, like that of previous Subaru vehicles, is “Confidence in Motion.”
In Miller’s opinion, the Subaru Outback has an advantage over the competition due to its higher ground clearance, which enables investigators to reach out to isolated locations and apprehend wanted criminals.
“Because of the car’s ground clearance, it is preferred. One of its main selling features is its 8.7-inch ground clearance, which enables you to travel through some of the nation’s most difficult terrain “Miller threw in.
The car stands out when operating due to its body shape. Subaru Outbacks can accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in around nine seconds depending on the model thanks to their nearly 1,600 kilogram curb weight.
DCI detectives favor the automobile because of its practicality and space, according to Automotive Advice Kenya, an online platform that provides advice to Kenyans on various car attributes.
“DCI prefers the Subaru Outback since it has adequate space to accommodate more passengers than just four during an operation. Because every seat can be adjusted, it’s much better for covert operations “said Car Advice Kenya.
The car’s four-wheel drive makes it easier for it to maneuver across practically any terrain.
In addition to their adaptability, the car from Subaru, a Japanese carmaker, is equipped with modern technologies.
The remarkable technology in the Outback supports the driver in a variety of situations. For instance, the adaptive cruise control system keeps a safe distance from other drivers in front of it without responding excessively to their slowing down.

A lane-keeping assistance feature on contemporary Outbacks softly encourages drivers to maintain center position in their lane while traveling.
Miller claims that the Subaru Outback’s sharp sport button is more effective, boosting its dependability and enabling it to accelerate more quickly.
There are also voice commands, a standard 7-inch screen, and climate controls in Outbacks.
In Kenya, a brand-new Subaru Outback from 2021 costs more over Ksh9 million. The average price for 2015 editions is between Ksh3 million and Ksh4 million.
However, the majority of DCI units rent automobiles for a set period of time from different dealers across the nation.
