DT Dobie is set to launch the first locally assembled Volkswagen vehicle. The Volkswagen Polo Vivo will be launched on December 21 and will retail at less than Sh. 2 million.
“We are targeting a price below Sh2 million for the Polo Vivo. It is a car for a small family,” DT Dobie chief executive Zarak Khan said.
The car has a 1.4 litre petrol engine with an automatic transmission and air-conditioning. This will be the first time the Volkswagen Polo Vivo will be available in Kenya. The model sells for about Sh1.3 million in South Africa where it is the best-selling passenger car.
Simba Corporation early this year started selling Renault Kwid, a small SUV, at Sh1.2 million inclusive of VAT. The Kwid has an 800cc engine and is being offered with a three-year warranty.
Simba had sold 13 units of the Renault Kwid in the 10 months to October, according to data from the Kenya Motor Industry Association (KMI).
