Carmart Mombasa / Used Toyota Prado Nairobi

Used Toyota Prado for sale, delivered to Nairobi.

The Toyota Prado is one of the most wanted SUVs in Nairobi. It is comfortable enough for daily driving in the city and tough enough for upcountry trips, game drives and rough roads, and it holds its value better than almost anything else on the road.

The Prado in Nairobi

Why the Prado suits Nairobi

In Nairobi the Prado does two jobs. During the week it is a high, comfortable car for Kiambu Road, Ngong Road or the Southern Bypass, with a commanding view in traffic. At weekends it takes you to the shamba, Naivasha or the Mara without a second thought.

Most Prados we see are the J150 generation, sold in Japan from 2009. Common engines are the 2.7 litre petrol and the 2.8 litre turbo diesel (from 2015), with the older 3.0 litre diesel on earlier cars. The diesels are the most economical on long trips.

Before you buy

What to check on a used Prado

  • Service history, especially oil changes on the diesel engines
  • Newer diesels have a particulate filter (DPF): lots of short Nairobi trips can clog it, so take it on a highway run now and then
  • Engage the 4WD and low range and check the dashboard lights
  • Look underneath for rust, dents and oil leaks from the axles
  • Uneven tyre wear, which can point to suspension or alignment problems

We are happy to show you any of these on a live WhatsApp video call before you decide.

Questions

Toyota Prado questions

Is the Prado petrol or diesel better for Nairobi?

If you mostly drive short trips in town, the 2.7 petrol is simpler to maintain. If you do regular long trips upcountry, the diesel is more economical and has more pulling power.

Which Prado trim levels are common?

Japanese-market Prados usually come in TX, TX-L and TZ/TZ-G grades. TX-L adds leather and extra comfort features; TZ-G is the top grade with features such as adaptive suspension.

Can you deliver a Toyota Prado to Nairobi?

Yes. Delivery by car carrier to Nairobi is estimated at KES 20,000 to 30,000 depending on the size of the vehicle, and we confirm the exact delivered price in writing before you pay. Choose your Prado and see it on a live WhatsApp video call first. You can also collect it from our showroom on Haile Selassie Avenue, opposite Quickmart, Mombasa.
