The vehicle comes with a four-year service plan, or 30,000 kilometers warranty.
Speaking during the event, David Kaburi, Regional Branch Manager at Bank of Africa said, “Strategic partnerships with new car dealers are broadening our service scope as we experience growth in the asset finance car loans segment by 50 per cent this year.
