Passenger car sales in Kenya in 2012 were weak, largely because of high interest rates, as most vehicles are bought on credit in the country. New vehicle sales in Kenya rose 1.4% year-on-year (y-o-y) to 12,798 units, according to data from the Kenya Motor Industry Association (KMIA). This was the slowest growth since 2009 when reduced economic activity cut purchases 20%.
The high-end market has held up well, however. Luxury car sales rose 33.8% in 2012, reports Business Daily Africa, helping Mercedes-Benz extend its lead in Kenya's luxury car market.
