Toyota Land Cruiser Price in Kenya | New & Used Models

The Toyota Land Cruiser price in Kenya ranges from about KSh 2.5 million for older locally used models to over KSh 25 million for a brand-new LC300. Most buyers spend between KSh 4 million and KSh 12 million for a clean used unit, depending on the model and year of manufacture. That is a wide range, and the model you choose makes all the difference.
Khushi motors have been selling and importing cars in Kenya since 2009. We are also proud KCCI award winners. In those 17 years, one thing has never changed: the Land Cruiser is the most asked-about vehicle in our yard. Buyers walk in asking about everything from a 79 series pickup for the farm to an LC300 for the boardroom.
So in this guide, we break down what every Land Cruiser model really costs in Kenya in 2026. No confusing talk. Just real prices, real market knowledge, and what to check before you pay.
Land Cruiser Prices in Kenya at a Glance
Before we go model by model, here is a quick comparison table. These are realistic 2026 market ranges based on current listings and showroom prices across Kenya. Actual prices depend on year of manufacture, mileage, and condition.
| Model | Locally Used | Foreign Used (Ex-Japan) | Brand New |
| Prado (J120/J150) | KSh 2.6M – 7M | KSh 6M – 12.7M | KSh 10M – 15.5M (LC250) |
| V8 / 200 Series | KSh 4M – 8M | KSh 8.7M – 16M | Discontinued (now LC300) |
| LC300 | Rare locally | KSh 14M – 18.5M | KSh 20M – 28M |
| 79/70 Series Pickup | KSh 3.5M – 8M | KSh 7M – 10M | KSh 9M – 13M |
| 100 Series | KSh 2.5M – 4.5M | Not importable (age limit) | Discontinued |
One thing many buyers do not know: the 8-year import rule means only vehicles manufactured in 2019 or later can be imported into Kenya in 2026. That is why older models like the 100 series are only available locally used, and why their prices have stayed firm. Limited supply, steady demand.
Land Cruiser Prices by Model in Kenya
Every Land Cruiser serves a different buyer. Here is what each model cost and who it suits best.
Toyota Land Cruiser Prado
The Prado is the best-selling Land Cruiser in Kenya. It balances comfort, fuel economy, and off-road ability, which is why you see it everywhere from Nairobi offices to county roads. Locally used J150 models (2010–2015) go for KSh 2.6M to 4.5M. Foreign used 2019–2021 units cost KSh 6M to 12.7M, with the diesel TX grade in highest demand.
Land Cruiser V8 (200 Series)
The V8 is still the status symbol of Kenyan roads. Production ended in 2021, so supply is tightening and prices are holding strong. Locally used units start around KSh 4M for older models, while clean 2016–2018 imports range from KSh 8.7M to 16M depending on grade (ZX and Sahara sit at the top).
Land Cruiser LC300
The LC300 replaced the V8 in 2021 and it is the new flagship. The new Land Cruiser price in Kenya starts around KSh 20M at dealerships and can reach KSh 28M for the GR Sport. Foreign used 2022–2023 imports cost KSh 14M to 18.5M. Stock is limited because global demand for the LC300 is still ahead of supply, so expect waiting periods on specific colours and grades.
Land Cruiser 79/70 Series Pickup
This is the workhorse. NGOs, security firms, farms, and county governments run on the 79 series because it simply does not break. Used single and double cabs range from KSh 3.5M to 8M locally, while newer units cost KSh 9M to 13M. The 4.5L V8 diesel engine in the 79 is one of the toughest engines ever put in a pickup, and resale value stays strong for that reason.
Land Cruiser 100 Series
The 100 series is the budget door into Land Cruiser ownership. Prices run from KSh 2.5M to 4.5M for 2002–2007 models. Because these cannot be imported anymore under the age rule, every unit in the country is locally used. Our honest advice from years of trading them: check the chassis for rust, verify the mileage history, and budget for suspension work. A well-kept 100 series is a bargain. A neglected one is a money pit.
Toyota Land Cruiser Specifications (2026 Models in Kenya)
Specs matter because they drive both the price and the running costs. Here is a quick view of the engines you will find in the Kenyan market.
| Model | Engine Options | Power | Fuel Consumption | Seats |
| Prado (J150/LC250) | 2.8L turbo diesel / 2.7L petrol | Up to 201 hp | 10–12 km/L (diesel) | 5–7 |
| V8 (200 Series) | 4.5L V8 turbo diesel / 4.6L V8 petrol | Up to 304 hp | 6–8 km/L | 7–8 |
| LC300 | 3.3L V6 twin-turbo diesel / 3.5L V6 twin-turbo petrol | 305–410 hp | 8–10 km/L (diesel) | 5–7 |
| 79 Series Pickup | 4.5L V8 turbo diesel | 202 hp | 7–9 km/L | 2–5 |
Two practical notes from the Kenyan market. First, diesel models hold their value better than petrol because of fuel economy. Second, the LC300’s twin-turbo V6 diesel produces 700Nm of torque, which is more than the old V8, while using less fuel. That is why used LC300 prices are climbing instead of dropping.
How to Import a Land Cruiser from Japan to Kenya
Importing can save you 10% to 20% compared to buying from a showroom, if you do it right. Here is the simple version of the process:
- Choose your unit. Pick the model, year (2019 or newer for 2026 imports), and grade from Japanese auctions or stock lists.
- Pre-shipment inspection. Every car must pass a KEBS-approved roadworthiness inspection in Japan before shipping. Right-hand drive is mandatory.
- Shipping to Mombasa. Sea freight takes roughly 3 to 4 weeks from Japan to the port of Mombasa.
- Pay taxes to KRA. Import duty, excise duty, VAT, and levies are calculated on the car’s customs value. For large-engine vehicles like the Land Cruiser, total taxes can add 70% or more on top of the car’s cost. This is the biggest part of your budget.
- Clearing and registration. A clearing agent handles port charges, NTSA registration, and number plates. Allow 1 to 2 weeks after the ship docks.
It sounds like a lot of steps, and honestly, it is a lot if you do it alone. That is why many of our customers let us handle the entire process. Khushi Motors imports Land Cruisers on order: you choose the unit, we manage the auction, inspection, shipping, duty, and clearing, and you collect a registered car.

Toyota Land Cruiser vs Rivals: Prado and Other SUVs
Buyers often ask us: should I buy a Land Cruiser, a Prado, or look at rivals like the Nissan Patrol or Mitsubishi Pajero? Here is the honest comparison.
| Factor | Land Cruiser V8/LC300 | Prado | Nissan Patrol | Mitsubishi Pajero |
| Used price range | KSh 8M – 18.5M | KSh 2.6M – 12.7M | KSh 6M – 14M | KSh 2M – 6M |
| Fuel economy | 6–10 km/L | 10–12 km/L | 5–8 km/L | 8–11 km/L |
| Maintenance cost | High | Moderate | High | Moderate |
| Resale value | Excellent | Best in class | Good | Fair |
| Best for | Status, towing, power | Daily use + off-road | Power on a budget | Budget off-roader |
Our straight answer after 17 years of selling these vehicles: if your budget allows it and you want power and presence then take the Land Cruiser. If you want lower running costs and the best resale value in Kenya then take the Prado. It holds around 65% of its value after five years, which no rival matches. The Pajero is a smart pick only if your budget stops below KSh 6M.
Financing a Land Cruiser in Kenya
You do not need the full amount in cash. Most of our Land Cruiser buyers use financing. Here are the common options in 2026:
- Bank asset finance: KCB, Equity, NCBA, and Stanbic finance up to 80% of the car’s value for new and recent used vehicles. You pay a deposit of 20% to 30% and repay over 3 to 5 years.
- Hire purchase: Available through dealerships, including ours. Flexible for self-employed buyers who may not have formal payslips.
- Sacco loans: Many buyers use Sacco financing because interest rates are often lower than banks.
One honest warning: lenders are stricter with vehicles older than 8 years. If you are eyeing a 100 series or an early V8, plan for a bigger deposit or a shorter loan period. Comprehensive insurance is also required for any financed vehicle, so include it in your monthly budget.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most used Land Cruisers in Kenya sell between KSh 4 million and KSh 12 million. Older 100 series models start around KSh 2.5 million, while a brand-new LC300 costs KSh 20 million to 28 million. Year of manufacture and model are the biggest price factors.
Which Land Cruiser model is the cheapest in Kenya?
The 100 series is the cheapest entry point, at KSh 2.5 million to 4.5 million locally used. Among newer models, an early J150 Prado offers the lowest price. Always inspect older units carefully, because repair costs can quickly erase the savings.
Which companies offer financing for Land Cruiser purchases in Kenya?
KCB, Equity Bank, NCBA, and Stanbic all offer asset finance covering up to 80% of the vehicle value. Saccos often give lower interest rates. Dealerships like Khushi Motors also arrange hire purchase plans, which suit self-employed buyers without formal payslips.

Established yards in Nairobi and Mombasa stock most Land Cruiser models, and verified online marketplaces list hundreds of units. Khushi Motors has operated since 2009 and is a KCCI award winner. Visit our yard or browse our stock online with full photos and prices.
Is it cheaper to import a Land Cruiser or buy locally?
Importing typically saves 10% to 20% compared to showroom prices, but you wait 6 to 8 weeks and must handle duty and clearing. Buying locally is instant and lets you inspect the car first. For rare grades and colours, importing is usually the better deal.
Final Word
The Land Cruiser price depends on one decision in kenya: which model fits your life. A 79 series for work, a Prado for family, a V8 or LC300 for presence. Whichever you choose, buy from a seller who shows you the full history, and verify every document before paying.
