French car maker, Renault, has made a return to the local
vehicle market. The company unveiled three car models and a new showroom
along Mombasa Road on Friday.
Renault cars will be
distributed by Simba Caetano Formula (SCF) — a partnership between Simba
Corporation and French Salvador Ceatano.
“We have not
been very conspicuous in the market but with this launch, we have new
cars that will compete in terms of price with the second-hand market
locally,” SCF general manager Nashir Kassam said.
The French car manufacturer launched the Renault Duster, Renault Fluence and Renault Koleos models.
Prices
range between Sh2 million and Sh5 million plus VAT. The new cars come
with three years of servicing or first 100,000 kilometres, whichever
comes first.
Plans are underway to introduce the full range of Renault’s seven models.
The
company pumped about Sh9 billion to set up its Nairobi showroom and
workshop. Plans are in top gear for Renault to open shops in Kisii,
Kisumu and Mombasa.
Kenyan Renault car owners would
also benefit from the service centre established by Renault despite
having been supplied by a different distributor according to Simba
Caetano Formula.
