The caravan makes more economic sense since it will do the job at less cost. NB there was a time the caravan was the official tour van in Kenya and even many demanding matatu routes eg kangemi were synonymous with nissan caravans. So it’s a proven vehicle in some of Kenya’s harshest conditions.
Whatever the advantage of the Hiace is (which I don’t think is much just kenyans with their toyota resale craze) it’s not worth the 800k difference
Nakubaliana na wewe kabisa
Performance wise, Toyota hiace msee. But kama ni gari personal, chukua caravan
Hiace ni punda ya kazi. Caravan is for light jobs or personal use
Actually that is where the general reference to van matatus as ‘nissan’ originated.
Caravan haiwezi panda milima za meru Naiorobi route for 2 years ikibeba excess as the hiace does. Ask those kwa ground usikie
Never been a fan of Nissan. Better Toyota even if you will have to pay alil more. Am talking based on personal cars not the OP question
Is that a plus?
Yes
then came in the french. the original japanese nissan was very good but the recent and the current french-nissan is crap. the same can be said of mazda. the pre 2008 american mazda is crap, but the current japanese mazda is the thing. numbers on the road dont lie. people will generally not buy problematic cars because many do not have the technical knowledge to deal with emotional cars.
Caravan has better driver cabin space. Nimesikia from a matatu guy who started with Caravan that spare ndio shida since ati you need specific vehicle number down to the batch number to get fitting spare as opposed to Hiace that requires the generic model number. Can’t confirm
If its for PSV chukua Hiace caravan its all fun and games ikiwa mpya but premium tears utamwaga proper.
When the Nissan Caravan is brand new it’s very economical but ngoja ianze kuitisha spares. Caravan is well suited for tours and travels but for psv and mathree shenenigans wachia Toyota Hiace.
What if its for personal use…kubeba mizigo etc…
an hizi mat za gikosh ni nini kwani.Nissan inashinda toyota,
Hiyo haina shida but in PSV stick to toyota.
