Motoring: Cars to expect from Japan in 2026

Zimbabwe’s vehicle market has long had strong ties to Japanese brands, and by 2026 that connection is expected to remain firm — especially where Toyota, Nissan, Mitsubishi and Suzuki are concerned. The key difference in this scenario is that the vehicles are not arriving as ad hoc imports, but through official distribution channels, using South Africa as a practical regional gateway for logistics, homologation processes, and coordinated supply.

With official distributors involved, the market tends to receive clearer trim structures, more predictable parts support, and consistent aftersales backing.
