Top 10 Cars Built For Nigerian Roads by girlfromafrica: 2:11pm On Aug 26, 2016 |
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. CHECK OUT THE REST @ https://idonsabi.com/2016/08/26/top-10-cars-built-for-nigerian-roads/ 3 Likes 2 Shares |

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 10 Likes 1 Share |

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? 6 Likes 3 Shares |

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 11 Likes |
