It is unfortunate that a significant number of Nigerians have not yet acknowledged Innoson Vehicles as the most suitable brand for the poor road conditions in Nigeria. Instead of opting for the IVM Seriki, which has a good understanding of Nigerian roads, many would rather go for the Toyota Hiace (Hummer Bus).
Innoson Vehicles Manufacturing Company has recently unveiled several new models of vehicles, including luxurious sedans and this IVM Seriki. In December 2019, the Chairman and CEO of Innoson Vehicles, Chief Dr Innocent Chukwuma OFR, announced the official release of three new vehicle brands: the IVM Ikenga (a 7-seater capacity MPV), the IVM G20-Smart (also a 7-seater capacity MPV), and the IVM Seriki (a 15-seater bus) at a press briefing held at the company headquarters in Nnewi.
