4,580 searches from 6 October 2026 to 5 November 2026 that set a budget, and the 10,195 cars on sale today with a price in shillings. Each colour adds up to 100%. A budget of exactly KES 1 million counts in the first band.
Which cars should you stock?
More people are looking for these cars than there are cars on sale. A car like this has fewer rivals and is likely to sell faster.
Searches made from 6 October 2026 to 5 November 2026, against the cars on sale today. Only models with at least 20 searches and 5 cars on sale.
What kind of car do people want?
The shape of car buyers ask for, next to the shape of cars on sale. Where the orange bar is longer, buyers want more than there is.
1,555 searches from 6 October 2026 to 5 November 2026 that chose a body type, and 10,085 cars on sale today of the same types. Each colour adds up to 100% across the types shown.
Which years have the most cars on sale?
2019 has the most: 2,088 used cars. A car from a crowded year has many rivals, so its price matters more.
Used cars on sale today, counted by model year. The 5 busiest years.
How much do popular cars cost?
The cars people search for most, cheapest first. A car priced inside the range under its name is a normal price for that car.
Asking prices in Kenyan shillings of the 2,131 cars of these 12 models on sale today. Most of them are priced between KES 680K and KES 3.5M.
Usual price is the middle price: line up every car of that kind from cheapest to dearest and take the one in the middle. Half cost more, half cost less, and one overpriced car cannot pull it up.
Where these numbers come from
Everything here is counted from Motifiti: 10,174 searches by buyers from 6 October 2026 to 5 November 2026, and the 10,195 cars on sale today with a price in shillings. We never show who searched for what.
Prices are what sellers are asking, not what cars sold for, and not a valuation. We do not inspect vehicles or verify their condition, mileage or paperwork.
The exact terms
The usual price is the median: half the cars cost more and half cost less, so one very expensive car cannot move it. "Most are priced between" is the middle half of prices. A model is shown once at least 20 people searched for it and at least 5 are on sale, and a price range needs at least 8 priced cars. The yearly change is a straight line through the logarithm of each year's usual price. Brand new cars are left out of the year figures, and prices in foreign currency are left out rather than counted as shillings.
The figures refresh through the day. Please link to this page rather than copying the numbers, so whoever reads you sees the current ones.
