As of July 1, 2025, the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has introduced a new Current Retail Selling Price (CRSP) schedule for computing the customs value of used motor vehicles imported into Kenya. This updated schedule significantly impacts the importation of Audi vehicles, a brand synonymous with luxury, performance, and cutting-edge technology. For Kenyan car enthusiasts, importers, and dealers, understanding the new CRSP values is crucial for navigating the costs associated with importing Audi models in 2025.
What is the CRSP and Why Does It Matter?
The Current Retail Selling Price (CRSP) is a benchmark used by the KRA to determine the customs value of imported used vehicles. This value directly influences the customs duties and taxes payable upon importation, affecting the final cost for buyers. The CRSP reflects the market value of vehicles in their country of origin, adjusted for factors like depreciation, model specifications, and market demand in Kenya.
The updated CRSP schedule for 2025, effective from July 1, aims to align import valuations with current global market trends, ensuring fair taxation while addressing Kenya’s growing appetite for luxury vehicles like Audi. With Kenya’s automotive market evolving rapidly, this schedule impacts importers, dealers, and consumers looking to acquire high-end vehicles.
Key Factors Influencing CRSP Values
- Vehicle Model and Specifications: Engine size, drivetrain (2WD or 4WD), and fuel type (gasoline, diesel, hybrid, or electric) significantly affect CRSP values.
- Market Demand: Luxury and performance models, such as Audi’s RS and S series, command higher CRSP values due to their premium appeal.
- Global Trends: The shift toward electric and hybrid vehicles influences pricing, with models like the Audi e-tron reflecting Kenya’s growing interest in sustainable mobility.
- Depreciation: Used vehicles are valued based on their age, condition, and original retail price, impacting the CRSP.
Audi’s Presence in Kenya’s Luxury Car Market
Audi has carved a niche in Kenya’s automotive landscape, appealing to affluent buyers, corporate executives, and car enthusiasts. Known for its Quattro all-wheel-drive system, advanced infotainment, and sleek designs, Audi offers a diverse lineup, from compact hatchbacks like the A1 to high-performance models like the R8. The 2025 CRSP schedule includes a wide range of Audi models, catering to various segments of the Kenyan market.
Why Audi is Popular in Kenya
- Luxury and Prestige: Audi’s reputation for premium craftsmanship appeals to Kenya’s growing middle and upper classes.
- Performance Variants: Models like the RS, S, and TFSI Quattro series attract buyers seeking high-performance vehicles.
- Versatility: Audi’s portfolio includes SUVs, sedans, hatchbacks, coupes, and electric vehicles, meeting diverse consumer needs.
- Fuel Efficiency and Sustainability: Hybrid and electric models like the Q4 e-tron and A8 TFSI e Quattro align with Kenya’s push for greener transport solutions.

Key Trends in the 2025 Audi CRSP Schedule
1. Rise of Electric and Hybrid Vehicles
The inclusion of models like the Audi Q4 e-tron, Q8 e-tron, and A8 60TFSI e Quattro reflects a global shift toward sustainable mobility. These electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles are priced competitively, with CRSP values ranging from KES 7,293,471 to KES 23,583,181, making them accessible to Kenya’s eco-conscious buyers.
2. Premium Performance Models
High-performance models like the Audi R8, RS Q8, and RS4 Avant command the highest CRSP values, with the R8 Spyder V10 Performance reaching KES 93,028,529. These vehicles cater to a niche market of performance enthusiasts in Kenya.
3. Diverse Engine Options
Audi’s lineup includes gasoline, diesel, hybrid, and electric options, catering to varied preferences. Gasoline models dominate the list, but diesel and hybrid variants, such as the A4 Avant 35 TDI and A6 55 TFSI Quattro, offer fuel efficiency and lower emissions.
4. Quattro Drivetrain Popularity
Many models, particularly in the Q and RS series, feature Audi’s Quattro 4WD system, enhancing their appeal for Kenya’s diverse terrains, from urban roads to rural landscapes.
Implications for Kenyan Importers and Buyers
The new CRSP schedule has significant implications for Kenya’s automotive market:
- Increased Import Costs: Higher CRSP values translate to increased customs duties, potentially raising the final cost of Audi vehicles for buyers.
- Shift Toward Electric Vehicles: Competitive pricing for electric models like the Q4 e-tron may encourage more importers to focus on sustainable options.
- Premium Market Growth: The high CRSP values for performance models indicate a growing market for luxury vehicles among Kenya’s affluent population.
- Dealer Strategies: Car dealers may need to adjust pricing strategies and focus on models with lower CRSP values, such as the A3 Sportback 30 TFSI (KES 3,806,292), to attract budget-conscious buyers.
How to Navigate the New CRSP Schedule
For importers and buyers, understanding the CRSP schedule is key to making informed decisions. Here are practical tips:
- Verify Chassis Codes: Ensure the vehicle’s chassis code matches the CRSP schedule to avoid valuation disputes with KRA.
- Calculate Total Costs: Factor in customs duties, VAT, and other levies based on the CRSP value to determine the final cost.
- Explore Financing Options: With high CRSP values, consider financing through banks or dealers offering favorable terms.
- Prioritize Fuel Efficiency: Opt for hybrid or electric models to benefit from lower running costs and potential tax incentives.
- Consult Experts: Work with customs agents or automotive consultants to navigate the import process smoothly.
The 2025 CRSP schedule for Audi vehicles reflects Kenya’s evolving automotive landscape, balancing luxury, performance, and sustainability. From the compact A1 Sportback to the high-performance R8, Audi’s diverse lineup caters to a wide range of preferences. However, the updated CRSP values underscore the need for importers and buyers to plan carefully, considering the impact of customs duties on final costs. As Kenya’s demand for luxury and eco-friendly vehicles grows, Audi remains a top choice, and understanding the CRSP schedule is essential for making informed purchasing decisions.
