For decades, Nigeria has struggled to grow its domestic automotive industry while vehicles made by manufacturers from Japan, Korea, Europe and the US have dominated. But critics say many of those cars are not suitable for Nigeria鈥檚 roads.

Lately, there has been a surge of 鈥渕ade in Nigeria鈥� brands, of vehicles manufactured and assembled locally, which have been designed with the country鈥檚 challenging road conditions in mind.

But as Nigerians are gearing up to the idea of replacing their trusted foreign brands with local alternatives, China has introduced a range of vehicles tailored to the Nigerian market - but cheaper.
