With the removal of fuel subsidy in Nigeria and the frequent challenges of fuel scarcity, vehicle maintenance and fuel efficiency have become crucial considerations for many Nigerians.
As the cost of fuel soars, the need for cars that offer both low fuel consumption and affordable repair costs is more pressing than ever.
Additionally, the economic climate demands vehicles that can withstand Nigeria’s road conditions while keeping maintenance expenses minimal.
PUNCH Online explores 20 of the cheapest vehicles to maintain in Nigeria, focusing on those that strike the perfect balance between fuel efficiency, durability, and repair affordability amidst the current economic challenges.
The price range estimation could be based on the Nigerian market, where factors like import duties, exchange rates, and vehicle conditions (new or used) can significantly influence the final cost.
New vs Fairly Used?
When considering the best vehicles for Nigeria’s current economic situation, it’s important to weigh the options between new, fairly used, and Tokunbo (foreign used) cars.
New cars offer the advantage of a warranty and the latest technology, but they come with a higher price tag, depending on the model.
