Episode S4 E07: Which Cars Are Kenyans Actually Buying? - REAL DATA!

0:00 1:12:45

Is Kenya a copycat nation when it comes to cars? Which vehicles are actually selling, and why is the "Kimani/Auntie" car stereotype still so common?

In this episode of Gearhaus, Kalasinga and Vanilla are joined by Anthony from Car 360 to answer these questions using real market data.

From the popularity of the Mazda Demio and Toyota Vitz to the large number of Harriers and SUVs listed by dealers, they explore the gap between the cars people search for and the ones that are actually available.

They discuss:

- Global news, including Lewis Hamilton's first Ferrari win, the so-called "Kardashian Effect," Toyota's victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and why American sports cars are starting to sound better than many European models.

- The spy in your car, including why Polestar faces restrictions in the US and how inward-facing cameras are becoming more common in modern vehicles.

- Toyota RAV4 demand in the US and why dealerships struggle to keep one on the lot for more than two weeks.

- A look at Kenyan car trends as Anthony reveals the 10 most-viewed vehicles on Car 360, including where the Toyota Probox ranks.

- Resale value and reliability, and why many Kenyans still avoid Volvos and Hondas despite their strong reputations.

- How Car 360 brings car buying, selling, and vehicle verification together in one place.
