Greetings All,

The exists the problem of getting a vehicle that provides ultimate utility while not breaking the Bank.
This post should serve as a guide to those who intend to buy a car, and are find it difficult to know which of the brands to pick not to mention those that live in areas with poor topography
. If roads are not a factor in choosing which car to buy in Nigeria, then you’re most certainly not going to have the best auto experience. The Nigerian road condition, while not unique is in its own right particular. Considering this will help you determine the right type of cars to be at the top of your to-buy list. Here are the top 5 cars suited for Nigerian roads and Government.

1.Nissan Pathfinder

The Pathfinder is a beautifully built city four-wheel drive SUV, with four doors and space for seven passengers. The apparent reason why the Nissan Pathfinder makes the list of cars suitable for Nigerian roads is that it’s an SUV(Sports Utility Vehicle).Nissan is the more performance focused arm of Infinity, Infinity offers More luxurious options of Existing Nissan Cars.
Some of the features and specifications that also contribute majorly to its ability to survive in our tough terrain include; its fuel economy rated at 19/26mpgcity/hwy (est), 3.5-litres V-6 engine, 284hp, city cruising range of 370.50 miles.highway 507 miles and the four-wheel brake system.

2.The Jeep Wrangler

An Iteration of the Cherokee SUV brand, they remain the most widely used cars because of their reliability.Do you have to drive off roads sometimes? Are a dozen potholes leading up to your house or office? This is just the car for you.
For tough potholed roads, washed off under construction roads, and off-road or rocky paths, you should totally get this car.

The jeep wrangler is a two-door, four passenger four-wheel drive, with a 3.6-litre V-6 engine, 285hp, and cruising city and highway range of mi 314.50 and mi 462.50 respectively.
It has a four-wheel brake system, fuel economy rated at 17/25 mpg city/hwy (est),and readily available spare parts. Some other features worthy of mention include the 6-speed manual transmission, engine auto stop-start feature, Electro-hydraulic power assist steering, and gas-pressurized shock absorbers to keep you afloat in those nasty potholes.

3.Toyota Sequoia

Toyota Sequoia seems to be deliberately designed for Nigerian roads. Widely used by various Royal Highnesses because of how roomy it is inside and its intimidating Persona. People who use this car either have big stomach or more than 3 shops in Onitsha alone

The Sequoia’s high ground clearance and large wheels make it the perfect car to consider. Its vast size is not wasted as it can take up to eight passengers easily. This vehicle rides through bumps and potholes really smoothly,So you can easily keep up with a High speed Convoy effectively.

In summary if you are a young guy below 30, of average build and you are seen driving this , It’s either you are seen as the driver or you will be pulled over by the police on sight.

If you have this kind of money,buy a Toyota RAV-4 and use the change to invest in the Nigerian Police. �‍♀️

Here are some of the specifications. Engine- V-8, 5.7L, Passenger Capacity-8, Gas mileage-13 mpg city/17 mpg hwy. Fuel economy- highway estimates to be 17 mpg 15 mpg in the city/traffic est 13.

4.Land Rover/Range Rover Sports

If you have to continually drive through challenging roads, a near normal situation in Nigeria. If the Toyota Sequoia or Jeep Wrangler doesn’t appeal to you, a fourth car option is the Land and Range Rover.

Also It’s of note that If you bought this Car between 2009 and 2015 it’s either you work in an oil company,Are a Self made Millionaire or you work in ITT (International Thiefy-Theify)

Like the previous cars on this list, high ground clearance, large wheels, and powerful engines will help this car glide over or get out of any pothole or slippery road surface. Here are some specifications that contribute to the car’s efficiency.
Fuel economy is estimated 28mpg on the highway : 22mpg in the city.Also in Its arsenal is four-wheel brake system, engine 3.0L/183, front tire size-P255/50WR20, rear tire size-P255/50WR20 and of course very available spare parts that can be gotten from your local store or shipped in.

5.Mercedes Benz G-Class(G-Wagon)

If class, functionality, and performance are as important as navigating the potholes, then the Mercedes G-Class is the perfect vehicle for you.Changing the tyres alone of this vehicle costs N400,000, and this would be done every 80-100,000 Kilometers,This activity alone is equivalent to a Brand New KeKe Napep So this is a Boss Ride, The Pinnacle of Automotive performance as stylish and premium as possible.

More pricey than the others on this list, the G-wagon as the G-class is popularly called in Nigeria is sure to help you successfully navigate any terrain challenges or bumpy roads you might encounter. It is a four-door all-wheel-drive vehicle that can carry five passengers.

The G-Wagon is not just a car in my opinion it’s a Statement . The perfect silencer to haters and people who never believed you will amount to anything in life is showing up in a Brand new G wagon for the New yam festival.

It comes with a 4.0-liter turbocharged 8-cylinder engine; with 416 hp, 450 lb-ft; 7-speed automatic transmission, and fuel economy rated at mpg 11 for both cities and highways ,Toyota Camry 2008 has a fuel economy that is 3 times this.Consumption like this basically implies frequent visits to the filling station,Such a lifestyle requires either you own a filling station or are into Blood money.
It operates a four-wheel brake system with disc brakes in front and at the rear as well.It has a unique custom tyre material and Profile hence why the tyres are so expensive.

On the other hand you can outrun Armed Robbers and Poverty in this Powerful German Machine.

While Nigerian road conditions continue to improve, be sure to have the perfect car that can conserve fuel. A car with good mileage, brakes, befitting tires, enough space for passengers and a reliable engine to back it up.

More common sedan cars like the Camry, Corolla, Nissan, Volkswagen, Ford, and Peugeot also hold their own on the typical Nigerian road. However, get ready for more trips to the auto mechanic’s shop and a car lifespan of continually changing auto parts.

How you drive also goes a long way in determining how often you’ll need to change shocks and weld silencers. In the end, it’s also about your driving, not just the car.
