What's Driving Prices in 2026?
Hybrid premium: Hybrid variants now command a 20–35% premium over petrol equivalents, driven by rising fuel prices and Nairobi traffic conditions. The premium pays back in 3–4 years for high-mileage drivers.
8-year rule tightening: As the 2019 cutoff year moves closer to newer models, the pool of eligible cheap vehicles shrinks. Expect entry prices to inch upward through 2026 and 2027.
Dollar/Yen dynamics: The Kenyan shilling weakened against the dollar in late 2024 but stabilised in 2025. A stronger shilling in 2026 has slightly reduced the landed cost of Japanese imports, keeping prices stable despite inflation.
