For a few years now, the number of brand new cars has rapidly increased in Nigeria, from Chinese brands to legendary Japanese brands. SUVs are known for their performance and reliability on Nigerian roads. With very strong tyres, a metal body, and a sleek interior, they work perfectly as luxury and heavy-duty cars. They are one of the most in-demand cars in Nigeria because of their compatibility with Nigerian rough roads and highways.
However, the effect of fuel subsidy removal by the Federal Government has been taking a toll on Nigerian SUV owners lately. Well-placed Nigerians are beginning to drop their big cars for smaller ones to reduce fuel consumption, but the strong advantages of buying an SUV are its durability and its ability to easily navigate Nigerian roads.
In recent times, Nigeria has started to experience inflows of brand-new SUVs, especially in Lagos and Abuja. According to reports, these brand-new SUVs are all bought by companies in Nigeria for their staff for official use only.
Here are the top three brand-new SUVs companies are buying for their staff.
