2019 Toyota Toyoace in Kenya: Review, Prices & Specs
2019 Toyota Toyoace: A Carimports.co.ke Review
The Big Picture
The 2019 Toyota Toyoace is a name steeped in history, with production starting all the way back in 1954. In the modern era, it is virtually identical to the Toyota Dyna and Hino Dutro. So why does it exist? In Japan, it was marketed through a different dealer network (Toyopet Store) as a lighter-duty urban truck compared to the Dyna. For the Kenyan buyer, "Toyoace" often means a slightly cheaper entry price for the exact same legendary Toyota reliability.
Quick Specs
Engine Options & Model Codes
By 2019, the Toyoace had streamlined its engine options to the industry standard:
- N04C (4.0L Turbo Diesel): RECOMMENDED This common-rail engine is shared with the Dyna and Coaster. It is reliable and torque-rich. Note that many 2019 imports are hybrids (N04C + Motor) which offer incredible fuel savings in stop-and-go Nairobi traffic but add complexity.
Interior & Practicality
- Cabin Layout: The gear lever folds down (on auto models), allowing the driver to slide across to the passenger side—a huge plus for delivery drivers exiting on busy streets.
- Visibility: The large windscreen and deep side windows eliminate blind spots, making it easier to maneuver in Gikomba or River Road than an Isuzu Elf.
Fuel Efficiency & Ownership Costs
- Consumption: 9–11 km/l. The hybrid models can achieve 12+ km/l in the city.
- Service: It is a Toyota. Parts are everywhere. Air filters, oil filters, and brake pads are interchangeable with the Dyna U300 series.
- Hybrid Battery: If you buy a Hybrid Toyoace, check the battery health. Replacements are rare in Kenya and usually involve bypassing the system or importing a used pack.
Suitability for Kenyan Roads
Suspension: Most 1.5-ton models use independent front suspension (coil springs) for a smoother ride, while 2-ton+ models use rigid leaf springs. For rough Kenyan feeder roads, the leaf spring models are bouncier but last longer.
Safety & Reliability
Standard driver airbag and ABS. The mechanicals are unbreakable. The only weak point is the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) system, which requires regular highway driving to clean itself. Ignore the DPF warning light at your peril.
💰 2019 Toyota Toyoace Price in Kenya
The following are average showroom prices for fresh imports in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, and Eldoret.
| Model | Import Cost | Showroom Price | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.5 Ton Cargo | Ksh 2.2M | Ksh 2.6M | Ksh 400,000 |
| 2.0 Ton Cargo | Ksh 2.6M | Ksh 3.1M | Ksh 500,000 |
The Ci Verdict
Who is this for? The business owner who wants a Toyota truck but finds the Dyna slightly too common or pricey. Who is it NOT for? Heavy off-road users—the Isuzu Elf generally has better clearance and suspension articulation for quarries.
