The showroom will also utilise green energy by installing a solar plant expected to generate 45,000kWh per annum.
Toyota Kenya rebranded to Cooperation for Africa and Overseas (CFAO) Motors Limited Kenya last month in a move aimed at enhancing multi-brand distribution of cars, motorbikes, and equipment.
CFAO, whose parent company is Toyota Tsusho Corporation (TTC), will be the exclusive dealer of Toyota vehicles in addition to selling Suzuki, Yamaha, and Hino brands.
Under the business, Kenyans can be able to trade in their used vehicles with a new vehicle in order to boost new vehicle sales.
