Here are some cars and vehicles that are (or have been) made or assembled in Nigeria — by Nigerian manufacturers or local-assembly plants.

🇳🇬 Nigerian-made or Nigeria-assembled cars & manufacturers

Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing (IVM)

IVM is Nigeria’s first indigenous automobile manufacturer, headquartered in Nnewi, Anambra State.

Models produced by Innoson include:

IVM G80 — a mid-size SUV.

IVM G40, IVM G5T, IVM G6T — other SUV / crossover / utility-vehicle models.

IVM Caris (compact car), IVM Fox (sedan), as well as various pickups and minibuses.

The company claims around 70% of parts for its vehicles are produced locally.

Locally assembled foreign-brand cars

Several international vehicle brands have assembly plants in Nigeria — meaning some “made in Nigeria” cars come from global brands, but assembled locally.

Nissan — e.g. Nissan Patrol, Nissan Almera, Nissan NP300 have been assembled in Nigeria.

Hyundai — some of its models have also been assembled in Nigeria under local plants.

Peugeot — via the local plant run by Dangote Peugeot Automobiles Nigeria (DPAN), cars like Peugeot 301, Peugeot Landtrek (pickup), Peugeot 3008 (SUV), Peugeot 5008 (seven-seater SUV), and Peugeot 508 are listed among locally assembled models.

⚠️ Special / Historic Cases

Izuogu Z-600 — a prototype small car developed in 1997 by engineer Ezekiel Izuogu. It was the first indigenous Nigerian-designed car, with ~90% of components locally made.

However — the Z-600 never went into mass production due to financial and political hurdles.

🏭 Context: Why “Made in Nigeria” often means “Assembled in Nigeria”

The country’s automotive industry includes both fully indigenous manufacturers (like Innoson) and local-assembly plants of foreign brands.

Local assembly helps reduce import dependency and can bring prices lower — which is part of national auto-industry development plans.
