ffective July 1, 2025, the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has released an updated Current Retail Selling Price (CRSP) schedule for computing the customs value of used motor vehicles imported into Kenya. This schedule includes an extensive range of Daihatsu vehicles, a Japanese automaker known for its compact, fuel-efficient, and versatile models, particularly kei cars and practical vans. For Kenyan importers, dealers, and buyers seeking affordable and functional vehicles, understanding the new CRSP values is essential for navigating the costs of importing Daihatsu models in 2025. This comprehensive article provides a detailed breakdown of the CRSP schedule for Daihatsu vehicles, offering insights into pricing, trends, and their significance in Kenya’s compact vehicle market.
Understanding the CRSP and Its Importance
The Current Retail Selling Price (CRSP) is a standardized valuation metric used by the KRA to determine the customs value of imported used vehicles. This value directly impacts customs duties, Value Added Tax (VAT), and other levies, significantly influencing the final cost for buyers. The CRSP is based on the vehicle’s market value in its country of origin, adjusted for factors such as age, condition, and specifications.
The 2025 CRSP update, effective from July 1, reflects Kenya’s demand for compact, cost-effective vehicles suited for urban and rural environments. Daihatsu, specializing in kei cars (vehicles with engines up to 660cc), minivans, and compact SUVs, offers practical solutions for small businesses, families, and individual commuters. The CRSP schedule affects importers, dealers, and consumers seeking affordable, reliable transportation options in Kenya.
Key Factors Influencing Daihatsu CRSP Values
- Engine Size: Most models feature 660cc engines for kei car efficiency, with larger engines (e.g., 2.5L in Altis) commanding higher CRSPs.
- Vehicle Type: The lineup includes sedans, hatchbacks, wagons, vans, minivans, trucks, and convertibles, catering to varied needs.
- Drivetrain: All-wheel-drive (4WD) models have higher CRSPs than two-wheel-drive (2WD) variants, reflecting enhanced capability.
- Specialized Features: Accessibility-focused models (e.g., Atrio Sloper) and performance variants (e.g., Copen GR Sport) increase CRSP values.
Daihatsu’s Position in Kenya’s Compact Vehicle Market
Daihatsu is a niche but respected brand in Kenya’s automotive market, offering compact vehicles that combine affordability, efficiency, and practicality. Its kei cars, such as the Mira, Atrio, and Tanto, are popular for their maneuverability in urban settings, while models like the Altis and Rocky cater to buyers seeking larger, more conventional vehicles. Daihatsu’s focus on fuel efficiency and compact design makes it a strong contender in Kenya’s budget-conscious market, competing with brands like Suzuki, Toyota, and Honda.
Why Daihatsu Appeals to Kenyan Buyers
- Affordability: CRSP values starting at KES 1,353,545 (Mira Van TX) make Daihatsu accessible to a wide audience.
- Compact Design: Kei cars and minivans suit Kenya’s congested urban roads and parking constraints.
- Fuel Efficiency: Small engines (e.g., 658cc) offer low running costs, ideal for cost-conscious buyers.
- Versatility: Models range from passenger vehicles to commercial vans and trucks, meeting diverse needs.

As urban congestion increases, Daihatsu’s compact models are likely to see rising demand.
