Launched at the Kigali Convention Centre on Saturday, the new vehicles look so smart and are said to be durable with engines that uses petrol and diesel.<\/p>\n

Mahindra KUV100 NXT is a leisurely car with the capacity to carry five people. It is in two types with one using petrol while another uses diesel. This car is in different colours, has five gears and fuel tank of 35 litres. <\/p>\n

Launched also is Mahindra SCORPIO Pickup, the six-gear carrier and mountain galloper appears in single and double-cabin types. <\/p>\n

Akagera Motors\u2019 Commercial Director, R Shivaprakash, said there are special offers attached to the new brands.<\/p>\n

\u201cMahindra is the first company in Rwanda to offer a five-year guarantee, this is special for these cars. We are also offering two options to clients to choose either a petrol or diesel car,\u201d said Shivaprakash.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs President Kagame recently said that Africa should not be a dumping place for old cars, these are brand new cars from India, manufactured with high technology and having nice exterior and spacious interior features. We believe that young Rwandans, women and other categories will like them most because these cars are suitable for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

These cars also have the specialty of low fuel consumption as one diesel litre does 21 kilometres with brand new Mahindra while the second hand requires one litre for 10 kilometres. <\/p>\n

Acquiring these cars is even so easy as Akagera Motors has inked partnership with Bank of Kigali, I&M Bank and Cogebanque through which banks\u2019 clients can receive the cars on loan to be repaid in two or five years.<\/p>\n

Founded in 1997, Akagera Motors sells a wide range of car brands including Toyota, Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation and HINO from Japan; Mercedes Benz from Germany; Manufacturing Commercial Vehicles (MCV) from Egypt; Beiqi Foton Motor Co. Ltd from China; Mahindra & Mahindra Limited (M&M) and Ashok Leyland from India, among others.<\/p>\n
