Isuzu Motors East Africa (Formerly General Motors East Africa) dominated the export market with 150 units sold against the total of 310 units.

The 8 year drop is mainly attributed to the slow down in financing of new vehicles by banks, due to the introduction of rate caps in 2016, the prolonged electioneering period.
