Total landed cost - UGX 53.5M
That same Forester sitting in a bond asking 65 to 70M?
You are looking at 12 to 17 million of clean bond margin.
URA is not your enemy. Ignorance is!

Most CX-5s you see in Uganda are not this CX-5.
The ones flooding the market are the base trims. Good cars. Sensible cars. Not this one.
This is the 2021 CX-5 GT Sport. The top of the entire CX-5 range. The trim Mazda built specifically to prove it could sit in the same room as the German SUVs at a fraction of the running cost.
Under the bonnet is the 2.2 litre turbocharged Skyactiv-D engine with the kind of torque that turns overtaking on the expressway into a decision rather than a prayer. Standard i-Activ All Wheel Drive. Not the front wheel drive you get on the base versions. This is the real thing.
Inside is where the GT Sport earns its name. Nappa leather. Genuine layered wood trim. A 10 speaker Bose surround system. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on the 10.25 inch display. A heads up display projected onto the windscreen so your eyes never leave the road.
The premium safety suite is the part most CX-5 buyers in Uganda never get because it only exists at this trim level.
Adaptive cruise control. Traffic Jam Assist. Lane keep assist. Blind spot warning. Rear cross traffic alert. A 360 degree camera. Driver attention monitor. Rear emergency braking with pedestrian detection.
This is not a car that shows up in this market every week. The base trims are everywhere. This one is not.

@NinyeTabz@AnitahAmong 1952 a certain DK( Dedan Kimathi) led the fight against bazungu in the MAU MAU rebellion
Fast forward 70 years later, another DK( Daudi Kabanda ) is leading the fight against another Muzungu
History has a way of repeating itself
