Good work Mobius. That is the way to go. It's extremely difficult and expensive to start from scratch. The faster way is to rebadge an existing model then over time modify and localize it. That is how Indian, Japanese and Korean cars started. I'm more interested with seeing Mobius 2 on the road because it is locally designed and with high local content.
I happened to see the newest Mobius 2 the other day on my way to work (the 2020 version, I think). Goodness! That car is rugged and gorgeous in real life! At 1.3 million it looks worth it. Karibu alone I am stalking him😂
Wacha wewe! It was pulling a KAY Rav4 which is not very heavy 😅. But I agree that road tests have shown it has power and quite comfortable in areas Prados have been dominating. Prados will have to humble themselves with the high prices they have been enjoying. I'm now a fan of Mobius.
The best way to make it is through partnerships, stop trying to figure it out, partner with VW, BYD or Toyota and learn how to produce world-class cars efficiently.
@@samcaptain001 Captain, yes I agree that my comment is a bit radical, but with the kind of politicians that we have, they need such measures. The hypocrisy is big. Do you remember the day of reading the budget? What is the point of having the Treasury PS ride in an 1800 cc VW Passat from the treasury to parliament, after which everything bounces back to normal (riding in LC Prados and V8s)? Recently, we have witnessed some CSs like Kindiki and Duale, and CJ Koome, being driven in expensive Land Cruiser 300 GR Sport vehicles. Do they even know why that car is called a "GR Sport"? It's shameful, because they are being driven around the city in "off-road focused vehicles". My point is, recurrent expenditure needs to go down to pave way for sustainable development expenditure. In Mauritius, all Government officials are driven in Toyota Corollas, owned by private companies that are in contract with the government. If a government official acquires a vehicle that is high-consuming, they pay for it from their own pockets. Buying Mobius will support local manufacturing, which politicians, even the President himself, have been supporting.
Whaaaaattttt!! This car goes for Ksh5 millions here in the U.S this car is way less than a million. And they tell us now that this car is affordable for 5M and its locally made... wacha tu nichukue kwa muhindi pale Mombasa.
@terry0173 Please provide the link to the brand new SUV i can buy in the US for 1 million shillings! I have never heard of one, don’t give us false hopes!
Kindly give car reviewers like @carnversations a chance to test and give feedback to their followers and viewers. It would help us to know whether or not mobius cars are reliable and issues to do with cost of maintenance and availability of spare parts and technical support. Thanks
@@alextercisiohe did that last year and wasn't so positive about it because of the price. Check his channel. I disagree with him because he was comparing a new company with established car brands that have existed for years. We have to support this before it becomes better.
The car looks good..but since you have admitted that our govt excempt some levies on your local company why cant you make it from 3m for it to gain popularity it needs before you increase its price once it has proven its worth on our roads..???
This is why many made in Kenya products don't attract the local market,at 5.9million shillings without import and excise duty means they have adopted the Indian mode of business where one seeks to make supernormal profits from a single product limiting market growth

@@LEO-fw3fl I was not trying to be offensive, the question simply doesn't make sense. I'm just going to assume non of you are car guys. So in simple terms, SUVs are generally good off-road cars. A Jeep is a mid-sized SUV & not a car class. Land Cruisers, Jeeps & Land Rovers are some of the best off-road SUVs while Escalades, Suburbans are mostly used in the city but can still handle tough terrains but require lots of maintenance.
The fact that it is "made" in Kenya, they need to really look into the prices. 5.9million Kshs ... that's a joke. They need to make the car affordable ... with the government probably offering tax exemptions where necessary.

I came across 2 of them in eldoret,I have to say they are wonderful
5.9 M price tag is too steep even for the middle class. Consider revising it to the 4.5M range.
This machine car is strong , I saw it pulling a heavy car up the hill like a toy wow

Originally Mobius made an entirely Kenyan vehicle, Mobius I, Mobius 2.
But Mobius 3 is a Chinese car they merely assemble
God bless Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
Bravo 👏 👏 👏

It's easier said than done on contract otherwise each country will do the same.
Politicians should be compelled to prioritize these cars instead of Prados and V8s.
That's not proper business ethics.

Cost of production in Kenya is high note that
@@eliudmwangi2887Then it kills the whole purpose of affordability to mass market..
We love especially matatu culture
Government should force kenyans on this by making it cheaper
assembled in Kenya
Expensive than a Jeep Sahara 24-2025 going for 35k dollars
Zero mileage?
Used Jeep.
mitac tisa kaka
Made in china not Kenyan anymore
Is it an offroad car like a jeep or A SUV?

Here in Germany that car is worth 600ksh
You are crazy
Japan remain the best....we import wazungu to make vehicles we used to import vehicles
At least it's creating employment. ..mobious is not Kenyan but British owned
@How much kshs???
5.9 Mobius 3
5.9M???
The car is too expensive. Instead of wasting so many millions on it better buy a Prado.
Kijana zito millage is expensive. You don't know what you are saying
@@derricknyale3351 Mobius shouldn't cost more than 3m
Wah!They are only selling 5 to 10 vehicles per month.This is very low.
It's just so big we need a smaller car for the ladys
Engine type?
But this suv is a chinese car rebadged for mobius... How i wish they continued improving mobius 1 and 2
Mobius used to be Kenyan.
Meaning?
Why can't these people just make cheap cars that are below 800k?
Hawana akili hawa
Mobius is assembled in Kenya, not made in Kenya.Last time Kenya made a car was during the Moi era and it was not a success
So you know more than the people doing it😂, kenyans 😂, ujinga ni mingi

Crap,have you been in one? Ignorant comment
Chinese cars not kenyan
Made in kenya
Own by a European😂😂😂
what a bullshit
5.9m?????🤔 🤔 🤔For that crap?? Never not worth it
I presume you know Mobius are zero mileage? The imported japanese/german cars you're used to are used for 5-7 years and cost equal or more.
Mobius are jokers
