A popular Nairobi Showroom/yard will soon start BRAND NEW CHINESE crossover SUVs alongside used Japanese imports.
A top, popular Nairobi based showroom has already acquired the franchise to be the dealer for one popular Chinese Automaker's line of light passenger vehicles.
According to them; they conducted a market research and with their findings, made a projection that in the next few years, their Japanese used car imports might take a hit from affordable BRAND NEW ( Zero mileage) Chinese light passenger vehicles and so they decided to set the pace by venturing earlier.
A classic example as to why Kenyans might start opting for brand New Chinese Vehicles is a vehicle such as the Haval Jolion Pro. It is a Crossover SUV, equivalent to a Toyota Harrier.
The current BASE retail price for a 2026 model is around Ksh.3.84 Million Kenya Shillings.
The price of a 2020 Toyota Harrier XU80 is around Ksh
4.5 Million.
The Jolion comes with a warranty.
The Cherry Tiggo Pro is another well priced Chinese Crossover SUV that also comes with a warranty.
The success rate of Chinese Light Passenger vehicles in South Africa is an indicator that the same trajectory might reflect in Kenya.
According to recent TransUnion (which is the largest registered credit bureau in SA) and NAAMSA (the primary representative body for South Africa's automotive industry) insights, Chinese automakers have gone from the fringes to structural players in record time:
In 2024, Chinese brands held a respectable 11.2% of the passenger vehicle market in South Africa but by the end of 2025, that jumped to 16.8%. Today in 2026 they have crossed 19% meaning nearly 1 in every 5 new cars sold in SA is Chinese.
In 2024, there were only 8 Chinese brands operating in South Africa but by 2025, that number hit 15.
Moving through 2026, another 4 new Chinese brands have entered the SA market, bringing a massive influx of Chinese SUVs, hybrids, and EVs.
Light vehicle imports straight from China to South Africa went from roughly 52,000 units in 2024 to over 91,000 in 2025, securing China's spot as SA's second-largest vehicle source country.
The ultimate sign of growth of Chinese mobility in South Africa is Cherry officially taking over an old Nissan manufacturing plant in Rosslyn, aiming for full local production by late 2027 to hit an annual target of over 100,000 units in local sales.
It might take time but Kenya is also headed the same direction.

Arsenal are probably the first side to win a league and not have anyone from their team win Golden Boots, Top Assists or Player of the Year😂😂
The worst Champions of all time
the engineer who built Claude Code just dropped a 28-minute video on how to write prompts that actually work

CLAUDE.md files, memory shortcuts, parallel sessions, prompting patterns
all in one video and completely free
works whether you're a developer, a beginner, or someone who's been using Claude for months

INSTEAD OF WATCHING AN HOUR OF NETFLIX TONIGHT.
This 1 hour MIT lecture will teach you more about building real Generational Wealth than 20 years inside any hedge fund, investment bank or financial institution.
My guest today is Paul Tudor Jones (@ptj_official), one of the greatest macro traders of all time.
He correctly predicted the 1987 stock market crash and shorted the Japanese bubble in 1990. For over 40 years, his flagship fund has had a negative correlation to the S&P 500. 100% of his returns are alpha.
He says today's market has so many similarities to 2000, "the easiest bear market I've ever seen in my whole life."
He makes the case for going long dollar-yen, why Bitcoin beats gold as an inflation hedge, and why he was wrong about Warren Buffett.
But what I'll remember most from this conversation is Paul's zest for life. He's 71 and still wakes at 2:30 every morning to trade the London open. He works out for two hours a day. He walks with his wife every evening. He travels the country chasing peak spring and peak fall. He's so excited about the songs picked for his funeral that he wishes he could be there to hear them.
Paul has lived five lifetimes in one. He's one of the most entertaining and interesting people I've met, and the conversation will leave you searching to be as passionate about what you do as he is about what he does.
Enjoy!
