Kenyans are shunning popular Toyota car models on the back of high cost that has seen even dealers cut down on imports of these vehicles.

Car dealers say more Kenyans are going for vehicles such as Nissan Sylphy and Mazda, which cost less compared with popular models such as Toyota Premio and RAV4 that have been synonymous with middle-income earners over the years.
