The new model of the Kenyan-made Mobius II vehicle will sell for at least Sh. 1.3 million including VAT. This is an increase from the Sh. 1.1 million the first edition of the vehicle cost when it went on sale in 2014.
Prospective buyers of the rough-terrain Mobius II model are now required to make reservations deposit of Sh. 50,000. The amount is refundable should one change their mind about buying it.
The new model will have power steering, sealed side windows, lockable doors, a higher ground clearance, an improved exterior and interior design. These features were absent in the first model.
“Designed with local road conditions in mind, the new Mobius II combines the core performance of an off-road car to cover long distances on all roads reliably and comfortably,” a letter sent to a prospective buyer read in part.
