Urysia Opens Multi-Brand Stellantis Showroom in Nairobi

CN Quick Facts

Company: Urysia Limited
Location: Bunyala Road, Nairobi
Brands: Peugeot, Jeep, and Citroën
Parent Group: Stellantis
What’s New: Three Stellantis brands are now available through a single authorised dealership.
Why It Matters: The move expands buyers’ choices and increases competition in Kenya’s new-vehicle market.

Urysia Limited has expanded its Nairobi dealership by bringing Peugeot, Jeep and Citroën together under one authorised Stellantis showroom, marking one of the most significant dealership developments in Kenya’s automotive market this year.

Located on Bunyala Road, the facility now serves as a multi-brand retail and after-sales centre for the three manufacturers, strengthening Stellantis’ footprint in Kenya as competition intensifies in the country’s new vehicle market. The expansion gives customers access to a broader range of passenger vehicles, SUVs, and commercial vehicles through a single dealership while introducing Citroën as a more visible player in the formal new vehicle market.

Urysia has transformed its Bunyala Road headquarters into a multi-brand showroom representing three Stellantis brands: Peugeot, Jeep and Citroën. The move reflects a dealership model commonly used in Europe and other mature automotive markets, where several brands from the same manufacturer are sold and serviced under one roof.

For Kenyan buyers, it means a wider range of Stellantis vehicles can now be viewed, purchased and serviced from a single authorised location.

Why It Matters

The expansion increases competition in several vehicle segments currently dominated by established brands.

Peugeot already has an established presence in Kenya, particularly in the passenger vehicle market. Jeep strengthens the choice available to buyers looking for premium SUVs with manufacturer-backed sales and after-sales support, while Citroën expands options in the hatchback and crossover segments.

The development also reflects Stellantis’ broader strategy of growing its presence in African markets through authorised dealer networks and improved customer support.

For consumers, increased competition can translate into greater choice, improved service standards, and a wider selection of vehicles within the formal dealership network.

Background

Stellantis is one of the world’s largest automotive manufacturers, with a portfolio that includes Peugeot, Citroën, Jeep, Fiat, Opel, Alfa Romeo and Maserati, among other brands.

While Peugeot has maintained a presence in Kenya through authorised dealerships, the addition of Jeep and Citroën under the expanded showroom broadens the group’s local offering and aligns with its strategy of strengthening its distribution network across Africa.

The move comes as Kenya’s new vehicle market continues to attract investment from manufacturers seeking to grow their presence in the commercial vehicle, SUV and passenger car segments.

What’s Next?

Urysia is expected to continue expanding its Stellantis portfolio and customer support services as it grows its presence in the Kenyan market. The success of the multi-brand strategy will depend on several factors, including vehicle pricing, financing options, after-sales service, parts availability, and customer confidence in the brands over the long term.

For buyers, the expansion provides additional options in a market traditionally dominated by Japanese manufacturers and could encourage greater competition across several vehicle segments.
