Stallion Group owners of the multivehicle
plant roll-out made-in-Nigeria Nissan
range of vehicles in April.
The Chairman of Stallion Group, Mr.
Sunil Vaswani who broke the news

affordably priced” in other to give
Nigerians a break from the stranglehold
of wholesale vehicle importers.
Some of the deliveries in the passenger
car segment are Hyundai i10, Grand,
Elantra and iX35 SUV, while the 10-ton
HD160; seven-ton HD 120; five-ton HD78
and three-ton HD65 constitute vehicles in

announced starting price of between
NGN1.5m and NGN1.9m for the i10 and
Grand models respectively, having
announced in July it was commencing
phased production of affordably priced
Hyundai models.
Hyundai Motors Nigeria plant Managing
Director, Tokunbo Aromolaran has said
the vehicles are built to the world’s
highest automotive operating standard –
ISO/TS 16949.
The ISO/TS 16949 is the highest
automotive operating standard in the
world and its benefits include improved
quality processes with streaming supply
chains that leads to better overall
product, Mr. Aromalaran explained.
He said: “We are glad to inform
Nigerians that we have delivered on our
promise to make available affordably
priced vehicles – thanks to strong-willed
President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan and
the indefatigable supervisory roles of the
Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and
Investment headed by Dr. Olusegun
Aganga.”
The first phase delivery establishes a
system of record for the complete vehicle
program which will gradually be
expanded to meet the ever-increasing
demands for functional vehicle in Nigeria,
the plant director said.
He enjoined: “Prospective customers to
walk into any of our dealership
showrooms nationwide to buy value-
driven made-in-Nigeria Hyundai certified
vehicles.”
Hyundai i10, Grand, Elantra and iX35

with eye-popping styling, good fuel
economy with fantastic driving
experience and modest starting price for
every desiring buyer.

Nigeria vehicles on behalf of provisional

a milestone in the history of Nigeria’s
evolving automotive industry, urging
