TOP 5 CARS THAT THE MIDDLE CLASS IN KENYA SHOULD BUY & DRIVE IN 2023

TOP 5 CARS THAT THE MIDDLE CLASS IN KENYA SHOULD BUY & DRIVE IN 2023

1) 2016 Subaru Forester (Non Turbo)

If you are looking for a used Forester, the 2016 Subaru Forester is the ideal car for you.

It is a good compact SUV for those who value practicality over style. It's roomy and it features a well-made cabin ( has lots of seating and cargo space). Few compact SUVs come standard with all-wheel drive, but the Forester does, making it a good option for those who drive in harsh weather conditions. It also comes standard with all-wheel drive, which is rare for a compact SUV. However, the Forester falls in the middle of our rankings because many rivals have higher reliability ratings.

4) 2016 Toyota Auris

While the Auris lacks the flair of the above mainstream rivals, it has an inoffensive value-for-money proposition and a dependable, well-built family car – no doubt helped by Toyota's reputation for reliability.

Originally available with a choice of petrol, diesel and hybrid engine options, the diesel models were discontinued not long after the model’s facelift in 2015. This mid-life facelift included exterior design tweaks, an interior trim and tech overhaul, some suspension tuning and new engines.
If you expect nothing more of your car than you would of your washing machine, then the Toyota Auris is a perfectly sensible option.
Available in 1500cc petrol Engine in the used car Kenyan Market.
Price Range : 1.850 million to 1.950 million 

5) 2016 Toyota Harrier


It is visually striking, has a well thought out cabin with plenty of space, and to top it all off, quality materials for a luxurious-feeling experience. A mighty amazing feat, considering its Lexus stablemate costs much more.
As with most Japanese SUVs, the Harrier has been fitted with a CVT. But not just any ordinary CVT - it has been fitted with what Toyota has dubbed their Electronically Controlled Continuously Variable Transmission or ECVT for short. 
price starts from 3.5 million to 4.5 million kenya shillings depending on the trim level i.e premium , premium advanced & elegance. A larger 2500cc engine is also available in Hybrid versions of the harrier
