These indicative landed prices apply to 2019-or-newer units. They include shipping, KRA duty, clearing and registration. Each row links to a full specs page.

Exchange rates and KRA's CRSP list change during the year. Therefore, your written quote confirms the final figure.

Mazda CX-5 price in Kenya

The CX-5 is the best-driving SUV of the three. The 20S 2.0 petrol lands at KES 2.8M – 3.2M. It suits Nairobi commuters who mainly drive on tarmac. In fact, it is the cheapest way into a premium-feeling SUV.

The 25S L Package 4WD adds leather and all-wheel drive for KES 3.3M – 3.8M. Meanwhile, the XD 2.2 diesel costs KES 3.5M – 4.1M. The diesel is superb on the Nakuru and Mombasa highways.

CX-5 diesel: what to know

The SkyActiv-D diesel is efficient and strong. However, it dislikes short trips. Without regular highway runs, its particulate filter (DPF) and intake can clog. Consequently, we recommend the petrol for town-only drivers.

Toyota Harrier price in Kenya

The Harrier is the stylish, comfortable choice. The Harrier Premium 2.0 lands at KES 4.3M – 4.9M. The Z Leather Package adds a premium cabin for KES 4.8M – 5.4M.

The Harrier Hybrid Z E-Four costs KES 5.6M – 6.3M. It returns over 20 km/L in mixed driving. As a result, it is ideal for long daily commutes from Syokimau, Ruiru or Kitengela.

Older Harrier models

Many buyers search for a "Harrier under 3 million". Those are older 2015–2018 models sold locally. They are good cars. However, they are now outside the 8-year import window, and mileage can be hard to verify.

Toyota Prado TX price in Kenya

The Prado is the tough one. It has a ladder frame, low-range 4WD and real off-road ability. The TX 2.7 petrol lands at KES 6.2M – 7M. The 7-seat TX costs KES 6.4M – 7.2M.

The TX-L petrol adds leather and more kit for KES 6.8M – 7.6M. Diesel fans should consider the TX 2.8 diesel at KES 7.3M – 8.2M or the TX-L diesel at KES 7.8M – 8.8M. The top TZ-G reaches KES 9M – 10.5M.

Prado TX: petrol or diesel?

The 2.7 petrol is simple and cheaper to buy. In contrast, the 2.8 diesel has much more torque and better range. Therefore, choose diesel if you tow, carry loads or drive long distances upcountry.

What is KDSS on a Prado?

KDSS is Toyota's Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System. It improves wheel travel off-road and body control on tarmac. However, it adds cost if repairs are needed. Non-KDSS Prados are simpler and slightly cheaper to maintain.

Our services: Harrier, CX-5 and Prado imports across Kenya

Elisa Motors handles every step from the Japanese auction to your door. Here is what we do for SUV buyers in Nairobi, Mombasa, Nakuru, Kisumu, Eldoret and beyond.

1. Japan auction sourcing for Nairobi SUV buyers

We bid for Harriers, CX-5s and Prados at major Japanese auctions. You choose the grade, colour, mileage and budget. Then we send you real cars every week.

Japan offers the widest choice of all three models. Moreover, auction grading shows the true condition. Read our Japan import guide to learn more.

2. Auction sheet and mileage verification

We verify every car's auction sheet and export certificate. That confirms the mileage and condition. Consequently, you avoid tampered odometers and hidden accident damage.

We can also verify a car you found locally. For instance, if a Ngong Road yard claims a Prado is "fresh import", we can check its history.

3. Landed cost quotes and KRA duty in Mombasa

Our quote includes the car, freight, insurance, import duty, excise duty, VAT, IDF, RDL, port charges, clearing and registration. In other words, one total in KES.

We can quote all three models together. As a result, you compare a CX-5 diesel, a Harrier Hybrid and a Prado TX with real numbers.

4. Pre-shipment inspection and condition checks

Every car passes the KEBS-appointed inspection in Japan. In addition, we check known weak points. These include CX-5 diesel intakes, Harrier CVT condition and Prado suspension.

We share photos and video before purchase. You approve the car, or we keep searching.

5. Port clearing, registration and English conversion

Our clearing team handles customs, KRA payment and KPA release at Mombasa. Subsequently, we register the car with NTSA and fit plates.

Japanese radios and dashboards can be converted to English. We arrange that before delivery. Similarly, we can fit a tracker or alarm.

6. Delivery to Nairobi, Nakuru, Eldoret, Kisumu and the coast

We deliver to Nairobi areas including Westlands, Kilimani, Karen, Lavington, South B, Syokimau and Kitengela. We also deliver to Kiambu, Thika, Ruiru and Machakos.

Upcountry, we serve Nakuru, Naivasha, Eldoret, Kitale, Kisumu, Kakamega, Kericho, Nyeri, Nanyuki, Meru and Embu. On the coast, we serve Mombasa, Nyali, Kilifi, Malindi and Diani.

7. Finance, insurance and trade-in help

Many buyers use bank asset finance or a logbook loan. We provide pro-forma invoices and documents your bank needs. Furthermore, we can connect you with insurers.

Fuel consumption compared

The Harrier Hybrid is the clear winner at over 20 km/L. The CX-5 2.0 petrol returns about 14 km/L, while the CX-5 diesel manages about 17 km/L. By comparison, the Prado 2.7 petrol returns about 8–9 km/L, and the 2.8 diesel about 11 km/L.

Therefore, if you drive daily in Nairobi traffic, the Harrier Hybrid saves the most money. Browse more hybrid cars and diesel cars.

Maintenance and spare parts

All three are easy to service in Kenya. Toyota parts are everywhere, from Kirinyaga Road to every county town. Mazda parts are widely available too, although some SkyActiv items cost more.

The Prado costs the most to maintain because it is bigger and heavier. However, it also tolerates rough roads best. Meanwhile, the CX-5 needs fresh, quality oil and highway runs for its diesel.

Resale value in Kenya

The Prado holds its value best of all. In fact, a well-kept Prado TX can sell for close to its import cost after a few years. The Harrier also holds value strongly. The CX-5 loses value a little faster, but it starts cheaper.

Colour and condition matter too. Pearl white and black sell fastest in Nairobi. In addition, a full service record and verified mileage can add real money to your selling price.

Model years you can import in 2026

Harrier: 2019 XU60 and 2020-onward XU80

A few 2019 Harriers are the older XU60 shape. From 2020, Toyota launched the new XU80 Harrier, built on the same platform as the RAV4. The new shape has a sleeker body, a better cabin and a much more efficient hybrid.

Most Kenyans now ask for the new shape. Therefore, it holds its value better. We can quote both if you want to save money.

CX-5: 2019-onward KF series

All importable CX-5s are the second-generation KF model. Later cars gained a bigger screen, updated safety tech and refreshed styling. Additionally, the 2.5 turbo petrol appeared on some Japanese grades.

Prado: 2019–2023 J150 and the new Land Cruiser 250

Most importable Prados are the facelifted J150, with the 2.8 diesel and 2.7 petrol. In 2024, Toyota replaced it with the Land Cruiser 250. The new model costs more, but it is far more modern.

Buying checklist for Harrier, CX-5 and Prado

Before paying for any of these SUVs, check a few key points. First, confirm the first registration date is 2019 or later. Second, verify the mileage with the auction sheet. Third, test the gearbox for smooth shifts, especially on CVT-equipped Harriers.

On a CX-5 diesel, ask about recent highway use and check for warning lights. On a Prado, look underneath for off-road damage and check the suspension. Finally, compare the price with a fresh import quote from us.

Prices in Nairobi, Mombasa and upcountry

Direct import prices are the same across Kenya. Only delivery from Mombasa differs. In contrast, yard prices vary a lot, because dealers add stocking costs and margin.

Buyers in Eldoret, Kisumu, Kitale and Meru often save the most with a direct import. Local stock there is limited, so yard prices run higher. Meanwhile, Nairobi buyers gain more choice of colour and grade.

Insurance, finance and ownership costs

Comprehensive insurance in Kenya is priced as a share of the car's value. Therefore, the Prado costs the most to insure, followed by the Harrier and then the CX-5. Most insurers also ask for an approved tracker.

Many buyers finance these SUVs through bank asset finance. Banks usually want a pro-forma invoice, a valuation and a deposit. We provide the documents quickly, so approval does not delay your import.

Plan for yearly costs too. These include servicing, tyres, insurance renewal and the occasional repair. For example, Prado all-terrain tyres cost more than CX-5 road tyres. Similarly, Harrier hybrid servicing is simple but needs a hybrid-trained garage.

Common problems to watch for

Toyota Harrier. The petrol models use a CVT gearbox. It is reliable when the fluid is changed on time. However, neglected CVTs can judder. Some owners also report dashboard trim cracks in very hot climates.

Mazda CX-5. The diesel can suffer carbon build-up and DPF clogging on short trips. Petrol models are simpler. In addition, CX-5s with i-stop need a specific, more expensive battery.

Prado TX. The 2.8 diesel needs clean fuel to protect its injectors and turbo. Meanwhile, cars used hard off-road can wear suspension bushes and shock absorbers. A careful inspection catches all of these issues before you buy.

Popular upgrades and accessories

Owners often personalise their SUVs after delivery. Popular choices include English-language Android screens, reverse cameras, trackers and alarms. Additionally, many Prado owners add side steps, roof racks and all-terrain tyres for upcountry trips.

CX-5 owners in Nairobi often engrave or secure their side mirrors, because mirror theft is common in some areas. Harrier owners frequently add tinted windows and ceramic coating. We can arrange many of these before delivery, so the car arrives ready to use.

Which SUV should you choose?

Choose the CX-5 if you want the best drive and value. Choose the Harrier if you want comfort, style and hybrid economy. Choose the Prado TX if you need seven seats, murram roads or safari trips to the Mara and Samburu.

On a tighter budget? Consider the Subaru Forester, Nissan X-Trail or Toyota RAV4. Need seven seats on tarmac? Look at the Mazda CX-8. Want Prado toughness for less? Try the Toyota Fortuner. You can also browse all SUVs or the Mazda range.
