As I go to sleep, I’ll be dreaming of Kenyan latest version of its first fully locally manufactured car MOBIUS 2.

Goodnight good people.

looks ugly alafu ni SUV ama…body shape way out

We have been waiting for it for long looks good than the previous model

Looks way better than the previous version.

Nimeona ati price ni 600k. Not bad. However, I am not a Daredevil. I don’t want to be among the statistics that lead to a recall after the accelerator sticks while driving down a slope. Inafungwa aje btw. Do I need a strong padlock ama tri-cycle ni sawa.

Acha za ovyo. It is very mechanical so likelihood of that happening like the Lexus recalls in US are next to zero nor rather you’ll know before it happens. Hii ni gari ya Wakulima

Kama bei ni 600k na spare parts zikuwe available cheaply, they might make a kill. But at that price, I dont expect any airbags or extras. Hii inakaa gari poa sana ya mashinani. I have a feeling that the fuel economy is terrible and will be its main undoing.

I tried to be sensible in my assessment. I would really want to know about safety features, fuel economy, security of the vehicle etc. I think it is just superficial. I doubt it has power steering as well.

Test drive inafanyika wapi? Nitawaletea habari…
Btw @spear hizo gurudumu ni real? Ama ni za marketing tu?

10

Kama ni 600k, then ongeza VAT

Ati 1.3M hiyo ni SUV second hand safi. Siwes na Siwes. But I don’t mind a test drive.

12

Kama ni 1.3 mil I better ride Toyota. Hiyo watajiuzia. The government is shafting them with such a high VAT

13

[SIZE=1]Crashworthiness? Walifanya crash tests kweli?[/SIZE]

14

600k too cheap so not quality
1.3m too expensive
wakenya mnatakanga aje jamani??

15

Ingekuwa poa kama naweza pewa moja free nipepee nayo tu confirm quality and power

16

Locally manufactured cars should be tax free. Provided its not assembly, taking care of design, processing, marketing etc should be tested fully without taxman fucking around. That way, we will emerge as a manufacturing country in EA.

Kweli kuna watu hawalali hii kijiji.

I haven’t driven it but I know one who works for a security firm and they have it there.

Its made from steel not carbon fibre like most cars now. Its frame is so strong that you don’t need to worry about impact or roll bars. All the modern safety features are there. The best thing is maintenance is very low. The engine is simple to maintain and repair. Even a nduthi owner can work on it. He says the best thing is the electronic cabling is one long strap that encloses all it electrical wiring in the bonnet. That simple electrical system has a 10 year warranty. Its a rugged, comfortable car that is multifunctional. It can be a Mini-Suv, hatchback, salon, station wagon and one tonne pickup. Modifications are easy.

I for one love it. Lastly I agree this is one project government needs to embrace. Less tax and can be a good vehicle for the National Police Service.

Good morning everyone, Enjoy your day and build the nation.

I was about to wonder about the vehicle and looked at their management staff and recognized one of the guys on a personal level. A well qualified pro I must say.
Their story.
