Saint George's is built on steep hills with narrow streets, and parking in town is tight. That makes compact, economical cars the favourite in Grenada. Here is how to buy one straight from Japan and what it really costs landed.
Japanese used cars in Grenada: RHD and no age limit
Grenada drives on the left, so Japanese cars come right-hand drive with nothing to convert. Grenada has no strict age limit on imported used vehicles, so all 186 cars in our stock can ship to Saint George's, delivered from about $3,000.
Cheap used cars for Saint George's
For short trips, hills and small parking spaces, look at:
- Compact hybrids: the 2016 Toyota Aqua S and the 2015 Honda Fit Hybrid are small and use very little fuel.
- Small petrol hatchbacks: the 2019 Suzuki Swift XR Limited or a Toyota Vitz.
- Kei vans and trucks: a Suzuki Every or Carry is ideal for shops, farms and the nutmeg and cocoa estates, and costs little to ship.
