- If you are going to be buying a car in Nigeria in 2024, it better be two things: reliable and good fuel economy.
- With the increased price of fuel and the poor Nigerian road conditions, you need a car that meets both needs more than ever.
- Thankfully, Toyota is the one brand that provides you with all of that and more.
In Nigeria, when we think of the most reliable cars, one brand consistently comes to mind, and that’s Toyota. This Japanese-based carmaker has a lineup of comfortable and adventurous vehicles. But is it all Toyota vehicles are reliable? The simple answer is yes.
While Toyota vehicles are generally reliable, some of them are more reliable than others. Below are the top Toyota cars you should buy in Nigeria in 2024. While we’ve focused on particular model years, any of their model years is still a good option.
Which Toyotas are the Most Reliable to Drive in Nigeria?
In this article, we highlighted the list of the most reliable Toyota vehicles for 2021 based on ratings from experts. These ratings reflect how well a car has held up and the likelihood that you’ll experience inconvenient repairs. All the Toyotas on this list have a five out of five predicted reliability rating.
The 2021 Toyota Corolla
If you want a small and efficient car but don’t necessarily want a hybrid, Toyota Corolla is your car. The Corolla is still one of the world’s best-selling vehicles because of its smooth ride quality and easy nature. But it doesn’t provide the same level of driving engagement that its rival, the Honda Civic, has.
The 2021 Corolla comes with a 139-hp, 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine. For more juice, you may want to consider the Corolla’s more powerful 169-hp, four-cylinder on the SE and XSE trims. Some of the biggest news for 2021 is the Corolla is now standard with both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
The 2021 Toyota Camry
Everyone loves the Camry. It seems like everyone has one, but there’s a reason why. The Camry provides a cushioned ride that many competitors still can’t match. And of course, the Camry is still one of the most reliable cars on the road today. Critics especially like the Camry because of its improved handling and easier-to-use controls.
The 2021 Toyota Camry comes with a standard four-cylinder engine paired with an eight-speed automatic. There’s also a less powerful version of that engine that works with a battery and two electric motors to power the Camry hybrid. The best engine in this lineup is the V6 engine that produces 301 horsepower and is only available on the XLE and XSE models as well as the TRD variant.
The 2021 Toyota 4Runner
The Toyota 4Runner is one of the more polarizing Toyota vehicles, especially compared to family members like the Camry. The 4Runner falls short of most modern SUVs due to its jitteriness on-road and its clumsy handling. However, the 4Runner continues to impress with its long-term predictability. Plus, it’s one of the few SUVs that can hold its own against the Jeep Wrangler when it comes to off-roading.
The 2021 Toyota 4Runner has a 4.0-litre V-6 engine paired with a five-speed automatic transmission. Entry-level SR5 models are rear-wheel drive, while all other trims except the Limited model come with selectable, part-time four-wheel drive.
The 2021 Toyota Prius
The 2021 Prius is at the top of the most reliable Toyotas, and it also earned the top dependability score out of all the vehicles the team tested. This hybridized hatchback gets flack for its quirky sense of style, and some road testers wish it had more power. Even so, the Prius’ practicality and eco-friendliness have garnered many fans.
In a road test, the Prius returned 52 mpg overall, which is incredible. On top of its fuel efficiency, the Prius also satisfies its roomy cabin, large cargo area, and generous in-car tech.
What the 2021 Toyota Prius lacks in engine performance, it makes up for all of that in its impressive fuel economy and reliability rating. So, it’s the best car for fuel economy and reliability and most important to you.
The 2021 Toyota Prius Prime
The Prius Prime is the plug-in version of the regular Prus. The two models operate very much alike and boast many modern features. However, the Prius allows you to drive up to 25 miles solely on electricity. The Prime takes two hours to charge with a 240-volt connector; the regular 120-volt takes five hours to charge.
The 2021 Prius’s hybrid powertrain is not capable of delivering thrilling or even amusing acceleration, but, one thing is that it has great fuel economy and it’s a reliable vehicle to own in Nigeria.
Conclusion
These are the top five reliable Toyota vehicles with good fuel economy to buy in 2024. You can get any model year of these vehicles are enjoy them thoroughly.
