Quick answers
Can I import a Nissan X-Trail to Kenya?
Yes. Kenya requires imported used vehicles to be right-hand drive, less than 8 years old from the year of first registration, and roadworthiness-inspected by a KEBS-appointed inspection agent before shipment. For 2026 planning, use 2019 first registration or newer as the working filter. CarHappy helps you choose a compliant Nissan X-Trail from Japan and handles export to Mombasa.
How much does a Nissan X-Trail cost in Kenya?
A Nissan X-Trail for Kenya is usually quoted as the car price plus ocean freight to Mombasa (C&F). On top of that you pay Kenya import taxes and clearing costs locally. Prices vary widely by year, grade and mileage — check the live stock prices on this page, then ask CarHappy on WhatsApp for a full landed estimate for your target year.
How much does it cost to import a Nissan X-Trail to Kenya?
