Reviews The impact of the Toyota Starlet on the Kenyan market cannot be understated and it’s not a far stretch to credit it with the widespread adoption of small hatchbacks we see today. The Starlet was in production for many decades lasting from 1973 to 1999. The fifth generation lasted from 1996 to 1999 and was the last production Starlet to be sold in this market. It was preceded by the Toyota Vitz which has equally become popular. Alternatives to the Toyota Starlet that you can consider buying in Kenya include, the Toyota Vitz, Honda Fit, Mazda Demio, Nissan Note. Click here to access the prices of the Toyota Starlet.

Reviews The first generation Toyota Kluger that was in production from 2000 to 2007 was more popular in the Kenyan market due to its availability in the Japanese domestic market. Its production in Japan ended in 2007 and consequently its availability in Kenya dried up. It was replaced by the equally capable Toyota Vanguard although many buyers still preferred the Kluger. It continues to be produced for other markets such as North America where it’s known as the Toyota Highlander and Australia where it’s still known as the Toyota Kluger.
