5 Most Affordable Made In Nigeria Cars To Buy from ₦1.5 million to ₦3 million
Every nation’s economic operations rely heavily on the car sector. Additionally, it is seen as the foundational pillar of the world economy. In general, industrialized nations are able to produce automobiles using their readily available resources and cutting-edge technology. That makes it possible for these nations to generate a lot more employment, improve living conditions, and advance their economies.
Nigeria cannot afford to fall behind other nations in the race for industrial enterprise and economic significance. The nation has various domestic vehicle assembly and manufacturing facilities. In addition, the government has passed advantageous rules and tax laws to support the growth of the domestic auto sector.
The Nigerian government introduced a new car policy in 2013 that prohibited the import of fully constructed vehicles. As a result, automobile makers have grabbed the possibility of offering more locally designed and produced vehicles. Here are the top five made-in-Nigeria vehicles that Naijauto would like you to consider.
IVM 6490 A
- Price: N1,500,000-N3,000,000
Innoson is the first fully indigenous automaker in Nigeria that is under the management of a foreign corporation. The company unveiled the IVM 649 A, a made-in-Nigeria vehicle with cutting-edge facilities and design, in the fourth quarter of 2014. At first sight, you would never guess that it was an automobile made in Nigeria. This SUV is a five-to seven-seater that will make anyone feel comfortable. The exterior is one that would attract the attention of anyone, looking very powerful and sleek. Its gasoline-powered engine is quite powerful, with a max power of 76/4200 4600 (km/rpm).

Hyundai Grand i10
According to The Stallion Group, the made-in-Nigeria Hyundai automobile is now officially available for purchase in the nation for a price ranging from N1,500,000-N1,900,000.
