Taking the Nigerian problem into perspective we decided to undertake a research of some cars which were built for the terrible conditions prevalent in Nigerian roads. Here are 10 cars we found out were built for Nigerian roads. Bewarned…dem cost…thank God for second hand sha.


10 Toyota Sequoia

The Toyota sequoia is one of the toughest cars you can find on the road. The Toyota sequoia is built to withstand and navigate all sorts of the difficult landscape, such as hilly terrains, pot holes, speed bumps, and muddy landscape.

It’s sleek body shape construction and spacious interior makes this car quite eye catching.

The Toyota sequoia costs about $40,000 which is over N12 million if you do the conversion correctly with today’s dollar-naira rate.

9 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro

The guys who designed the Toyota 4Runner had the bad road network of Nigeria in mind when they built this rugged vehicle. The Toyota 4Runner TRD comes with a set of huge tires, off-road suspension, and a high ride height that gives you the feeling of superiority when riding on the difficult Nigerian landscape.

The Toyota 4Runner TRD is quite spacious and would do great as a family SUV too. The price is on the high side, though. It costs nothing less than $38,000 (i.e. N12 million) to acquire this ride.

8 Acura RDX

The Acura RDX is a masterpiece that was created for off-road travels. The pot-holes on Nigerian roads will constitute an insignificant hitch when the Acura RDX is on the move. The car has all the specifications that befit a car suited for the technologically advanced 21st century.

The Acura RDX comes with a powerful turbocharged gasoline engine, powered by 4 cylinders. This is a car built for Nigerian roads.

Pricing starts at $30,000.

7 Nissan Xterra Pro-4X

The Nissan Xterra Pro-4X is one of a kind when it comes to cars built to withstand difficult road conditions. The Nissan Xterra Pro-4X is one of the first cars you’ll spot in any Nissan showroom. One feature that endears one to the Xterra is the 265/75R16 tires which are built to withstand any sort of rough terrain. Another feature that helps the Xterra overcome poor road conditions, is the high suspension that comes with its trim body shape.

The Nissan Xterra Pro-4X is also known for its low gas consumption. Pricing for this car begins at $26,000.

6 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited series

These Jeep series are simply irresistible. Instead of shelling out tons of cash to fund cars which will sooner than later be destroyed by bad Nigerian roads, a pick of any of the Jeep wrangler unlimited series will do. Some astounding members of these series include Wrangler Unlimited WILLYS WHEELER, Wrangler Unlimited Sports, Wrangler Unlimited Black Bear, the Wrangler Unlimited Sahara etc. All these cars go for below $35,000.

Saying that these cars are built to withstand off-road conditions is an understatement. These are a really strong set of cars.

5 Jeep Liberty

Well, here’s another tough one. The Jeep Liberty is gradually becoming quite popular for those who know a thing or two about cars. The Jeep liberty is one car which was indeed built for Nigerian roads; you will be forgiven for adding the Sahara desert to that number, though. This is one SUV you should definitely check out. It comes with a 210 horse power engine, high suspension, alloy wheels, automatic gears and engines running on V6 cylinders.

This is truly a machine in a world of its own. Pricing for the Jeep liberty starts at $36,000.

4 Toyota Highlander 2014-2016

The Toyota Highlander is another sports utility vehicle (SUV) that was built to undertake daunting landscape challenges. The Toyota Highlander comes with a powerful V6 engine and a high suspension.

The Toyota Highlander is a strong car with a sleek shape that can easily navigate Nigerian roads with no problem. This car comes at a price starting from $25,000.

Nice attempt but if Golf 3 no dey there,U never start.

Bro! Which golf 3?

Better Golf 1, and 2. But those golf no try, they sabi spoil ball joints and shaft if they enter pothole anyhow.

If you have not mentioned ISUZU, then your list belongs in the trash.
Isuzu tiger rugged mover Isuzu tiger powerful runner Everyone around the nation Haa haa Isuzu serving you. Those were the good old days

None of these listed cars were built with Nigerian roads in mind. The topic should have been:

Top 10 cars recommended for Nigerian roads.

So all of you conspired to remove Honda from the market?
*Don't mention front-arm. Don't dare!

Yes oh Isuzu na ancestor of rugged cars...the only problem na number of passenger seats.

Good attempt, but you didn't state important points/ data (for each vehicle) which would show that you did proper research.
The prevalent conditions that made you recommend the vehicles. Such as:
Road network
Traffic pattern
General topography
Presence of potholes and ditches
Income class that article is meant for

The characteristics of the vehicles:
Ground clearance
Engine sizes and fuel consumption.
Average tonnage
Torque, HP, RPM and maximum speed of vehicle
Vehicle length
Fuel type
How much legroom and number of occupants
Trunk space...

To me the list looks like "Top ten luxury on and off road Sport Utility vehicles"
Atleast one of the following would be on my list:
Land Rover discovery
Hummer H1 or H2
G Wagon 6*6
FJ Cruiser.

Looks like a copied list which you are trying to adapt to Nigerian condition

Dont decieve yourself. No vehicle is made or qualified to be used daily on roads as bad as Nigerian roads. Vehicles are made to be used on roads and not jungles we call roads here.
May be military offroaders can withstand the hardship of nigerian road?

Internet driver!!

Sequioa ko RDX/Liberty ni

Take a flight from the USA which I'm sure is where you reside and enter the streets of naija(not ikoyi or maitama), and we'll see how that your sequioa will outlast a regular corolla or Volvo S40

That's grammar.... We all knew what the topic implies
