Thanks to a partnership with CE Auto newsletter, we can share with you today exclusive Q1 data for Kenya. A total of 3.671 new vehicles found a buyer in Kenya over the First Quarter of 2016 – note this figure includes medium and heavy trucks which are the main reason why Isuzu continues to dominate the local market with over 30% share so far in 2016. Mitsubishi (19%) overtakes Toyota (17.3%) for 2nd place, with Tata (4.4%) and Nissan (4.1%) rounding up the Top 5 far below. Removing medium and heavy trucks from the models ranking, the Toyota Hilux reigns supreme with 9% share ahead of the Isuzu KB and Toyota Land Cruiser 70, replicating the FY2015 podium. In fact, with the Nissan NP300, Ford Ranger, Mahindra Bolero, Mitsubishi L200 and Mazda BT-50 we have eight pickups inside the Top 10. The best-selling passenger car is the Mitsubishi Lancer.
