What are some of the minibuses sold in the Kenyan market.
I am planning to buy a minibus. I am in the research phase of the vehicle buying process.
I need your help – finding answers that will help me make a good car buying decision. If you know anything about minibuses, chime in with your answers. Anything that you think might be useful to a new buyer is welcome.
Here are some of the details am looking for:
-List of popular minibus brands in Kenya and the various models sold under each brand. Share a list of what you consider to be some of the popular / best minibuses available to consumers in Kenya.
-An estimate (in Kenyan Shillings) for some of the minibuses sold in Kenya. What would be a good amount to spend when buying a used or brand new minibus?
-Options available to motor vehicle buyers interested in ICE (internal combustion engines – using petrol or diesel) vs EV (electric vehicles) engines. Also share a list of your favourite hybrid minibuses if any come to mind.
-Your favourite minibus brand and model. Let me know why it is your favourite. Maybe even share your opinions on how you think it compares to the competition. You can compare cars made in Japan, India, United States, Germany, Sweden, France and China.
