As part of its evolving mobility offerings, Toyota South Africa has introduced KINTO. This sub-brand puts a spin on car ownership by providing a service free from the constraints of traditional financing models. KINTO is derived from the Japanese word "KINTO-un" meaning "Flying Nimbus," which is said to be symbolic of the Japanese brand's shift towards becoming a mobility solution provider that includes a pay-for-use service that is more affordable.
