In Nigeria, it’s not too difficult to find inexpensive used cars. Finding an automobile that is truly inexpensive is another matter. Purchasing a car can be stressful, especially if you have a limited budget and can only purchase a used automobile. What if you still desire a brand-new vehicle at a fair price? Let’s discuss automobiles built in Nigeria.

Unquestionably, the car industry plays a significant part in the economic operations of all nations, and it is today recognized as one of the major sectors of the global economy. Automobile manufacturers enter a competitive market to create, develop, produce, market, and sell their vehicles.

Almost all industrialised countries have the means to manufacture cars using domestic technologies and the materials at hand. The ability to increase employment opportunities for their citizens, raise living standards, and stimulate the local economy is a huge advantage for these nations.

Nigeria didn’t fall behind since it adopted the same industrialization and economic growth strategies as the rest of the world. The establishment of domestic auto assembly and manufacturing facilities has long been encouraged by the government through tax incentives and supportive legislation, which has allowed the sector to grow.

The Nigerian government implemented a new automotive policy in October 2013 that prohibited the importation of fully constructed cars. As a result, Nigerian automakers began to take advantage of the recently implemented policy and dig in to produce or assemble automobiles on their own. Here is a list of the top 5 automobiles manufactured in Nigeria that you would undoubtedly like to drive!

IVM 6490 A

For those who only have a passing familiarity with auto manufacturing firms, Innoson is Nigeria’s first fully indigenous auto assembly company, albeit it is still governed by foreign corporations. It introduced the IVM 6490 A, the first car entirely built in Nigeria, in 2014.

Modern components and a stylish design are featured in the Innoson IVM. At first appearance, even in terms of technology and science, you would never guess that this is a car that is totally built-in Nigeria.

Rio, Cerato, and Kia Optima

With the debut of its first made-in-Nigeria vehicles, the Kia Rio, Kia Cerato, and Kia Optima, Kia Motors Nigeria has established its first presence in the native vehicle lineup. In October 2014, the function was held in Abuja’s Eagle’s Square.

These launches are seen as evidence of the current administration’s dedication to improving people’s lives and turning Nigeria into a fully functional economy.

The Kia Optima is exceptionally contemporary and sleek, with an assertive front fascia and an energizingly contoured rear side. The tiny Rio, however, has a cutting-edge control panel with a trip computer and a clear centre fascia. The brand-new Cerato, which boasts dynamic styling and great performance and promises many fun journeys, is last but not least.

Peugeot 301

The debut of the made-in-Nigeria Peugeot 301 has cemented our nation’s standing as one of the continent’s most industrialized economies. At the Peugeot assembly facility in Kaduna, Nigeria, the Peugeot 301 was first introduced. This is concrete evidence that the federal government has successfully implemented several steps to support the ongoing growth of the local economy’s auto sector in general and the made-in-Nigeria vehicle industry in particular.

The compact sedan Peugeot 301, manufactured in Nigeria, is built to maximize the key features of a family vehicle, such as safety, space, and storage.

The made-in-Nigeria Hyundai Grand i10, which was specially created for the local market, was unveiled by Stallion Motors in 2015.

The family sedan has a classy appearance and is offered two different engine options, including the 1.25 Kappa and Dual VTVT models. While the latter is paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox, the former operates in tandem with a 4-speed automatic transmission.

Nissan Almera

The Nissan Almera is a sedan with an incredibly contemporary look that sets it apart from other cars in its class. In April 2015, Almera made its official entrance into the Nigerian market.
