Top ten best selling cars in Uganda this year (Pulse Picks)

The Toyota brand of cars have mainly dominated the market just like the previous years. This is mostly as a result of many factors including them being fuel friendly and easy to maintain.

Micheal Kibuuka, a car mechanic in Kyaliwajjala, reiterates that a car being fuel friendly and easy to maintain is a major factor in Uganda that determines whether it will be easily taken up by Ugandans or not.

“Most of our people here are not that rich but would want to own a car for different reasons. So, they prefer cars that are easy to maintain and are fuel friendly,” he told me.

That said, I will now delve into cars that have sold most this year according to most car bonds I surveyed.

This is with no doubt one the cars that have sold most this year. The car is a four-seater and can also double as a family car – depending on how big your family could be. A newer model goes for between sh25-35m although one can get it lower price depending on where and who you are buying from.
