2022 Toyota Pixis Truck in Kenya: Review, Prices & Specs
2022 Toyota Pixis Truck: A Carimports.co.ke Review
The Big Picture
The 2022 Toyota Pixis Truck is the smart way to buy a Daihatsu Hijet. Launched in 2011 as Toyota's first Kei truck, it is built entirely by Daihatsu. This S500 generation (introduced 2014, updated 2021) brings modern safety to the farmyard with the "Smart Assist" suite. For Kenyan farmers and hardware stores, it offers the legendary reliability of the Hijet with the resale value of a Toyota badge.
Quick Specs
Engine Options & Model Codes
Powered by the Daihatsu KF engine:
- 660cc NA (KF-VE): 46 HP (Manual) / 53 HP (CVT). STANDARD The 2022 update introduced a CVT gearbox option which replaced the 4-speed auto. It improves fuel efficiency significantly. The 5-speed manual remains available for maximum control.
Interior & Practicality
- Cabin Space: The "Standard" cabin is tight for tall drivers. The "Extra" (Jumbo) version offers reclining seats and storage space behind the seats, which is a game-changer for driver comfort.
- Galvanized Body: 2022 models feature extensive anti-rust galvanization on the cab and bed, crucial for longevity in humid areas like Mombasa or rainy tea zones.
Fuel Efficiency & Ownership Costs
- Consumption: 15–18 km/l. The CVT models cruise at lower RPMs, saving fuel on the highway compared to the screaming 3-speed automatics of the past.
- Service: Parts are interchangeable with the Daihatsu Hijet and Subaru Sambar. Maintenance is cheap and simple. No fancy electronics to fail in the engine bay.
- Resale: It wears a Toyota badge. It will sell faster than the Daihatsu equivalent, even though they are the same car.
Suitability for Kenyan Roads
Diff Lock: The 4WD versions come with a differential lock ("Diff Lock"). This is essential for rural use. It locks the rear wheels together, allowing the truck to crawl out of slippery mud. 160mm clearance is adequate, but stick to the tracks.
Safety & Reliability
The 2022 model features Smart Assist IIIt, which includes collision warning and pedestrian detection. This brings modern safety standards to the humble farm truck. Reliability is flawless.

The Ci Verdict
Who is this for? The farmer or hardware store owner who wants the reliability of a Hijet but prefers the Toyota badge for perceived resale value. Who is it NOT for? Highway users—660cc engines are not meant for sustained 100km/h travel.
