The following are some of the top stats vehicles Kenyans have been buying since 2015 to date. Find the list of 10 cars below
1. Ford Fiesta
Ford’s Fiesta was also the top-selling car in the UK. Ford’s finest manages to tick the practicality and economy boxes that are so crucial for any small car but it’s also a blast to drive, whether you opt for the entry-level version or the Fiesta ST hot hatch.
2. Ford Focus
Focus is the powerhouse of the Ford range. It’s big enough to cope with the demands of family life but sufficiently compact to keep running costs to a minimum. As we’ve come to expect from modern Fords, the driving experience is first class and the Focus is about to get a styling refresh that should enhance its appeal further.
3. Vauxhall Corsa
Vauxhall Corsa is the best yet, offering plenty of practicality, quality and low running costs without a high price tag. It’s the closest yet to the Fiesta in terms of driving enjoyment, too. That’s clearly a winning formula: it was the third-highest-selling car in 2014.
4. Volkswagen Golf
Volkswagen Golf is a thoroughly impressive family hatchback. It has a high quality feel that none of its mainstream rivals can match and the potential to pinch sales from premium hatches in the class above. Brilliantly-judged suspension, high-tech turbocharged engines and that classy VW image all count in its favour.
5. Vauxhall Astra
Astra is a big, comfortable car for the family hatch class with attractive styling that’s shown-off best by the coupe-like GTC versions.

Despite its compact dimensions, the Polo has that highly prized ‘big car feel’ in spades. It’s pricier than its direct rivals but that doesn’t seem to be deterring buyers.
8. Audi A3
Audi A3 uses the same platform and many of the same engines as the Volkswagen Golf but flexes its premium brand muscles to command higher prices. It’s a tactic that’s clearly working, however, because the A3 has muscled its way into the top 10 best sellers in the country.
9. Fiat 500
Fiat hasn’t been having the best of times recently but the 500 city car is a big, retro ray of light for the company. Such is the 500’s sales success that Fiat has expanded the family to include MPVs and hot Abarth versions. It might not be the most technically adept city car but people just love the way it looks.
10. Nissan Juke
Nissan Juke’s chunky styling and jacked-up bodystyle didn’t put buyers off in 2014: it managed to creep into the top 10 best-selling cars of the year at the last minute. The facelifted version, which came out in 2014
