If you are walking around the streets of Kampala, you will immediately notice that you are surrounded by Toyota vehicles. Toyota is the most popular brand in Uganda and by far it dominates the car markets in the country. The core reasons for the dominance of Toyota in the market are the easily availability and cheap price of spare parts as well as the availability of garages that handle minor servicing and maintenance, paint as well as heavy maintenance of those vehicles. Recently, the model Toyota Corolla and Premio are the most widely wanted in the market.
RAV4, Land Cruiser and 4Runner are among the top popular higher cost Toyota brands in Kampala, as well as Mercedes and Mitsubishi, and latest models of other brands.
Brands such as Nissan, Subaru, Volkswagen, Land Rover, Honda, BMW, Lexus etc. also have significant share in the market. However, due to their expensive price, high price of spare parts, uneasy access to garages of some of these brands, relatively higher fuel consumption, re-sale value, etc. they are less popular.
In recent years, many people are now turning into buying saloon vehicles. Toyota Raum, Harrier, Noah and Spacio are among the most popular saloon cars in the market and all are producted by Toyota!
