After a major overhaul last year, the Kia Sportage sees some less dramatic changes for 2024. Kia fits airbags to the second-row seats and LED projector headlights as standard equipment on all Sportage models. The all-wheel-drive SX trim is dropped for 2024. The Kia Sportage is known for its eye-catching design. With its distinctive “Tiger Nose” grille and sleek, modern lines, it stands out on the road. The sharp headlights and bold contours give the Sportage a dynamic and stylish appearance.
2024 Toyota Land Cruiser In Nigeria
- Price in Nigeria: 215 million naira
The all-new 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser Full Edition is set to make its way to Nigeria. For years now, Toyota has used the same design for the Land Cruiser, which makes us believe the Land Cruiser will be gone forever. The off-road champ and the best-selling SUV in Nigeria are back. It shares a platform with the recently redesigned Lexus GX and wears a similarly boxy look, but the Cruiser is powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder hybrid powertrain, making 326 horsepower. (The Lexus employs a 349-hp turbocharged 3.4-litre V-6.) While the previous-generation LC was a full-size SUV. The boxy new Land Cruiser is back for the 2024 model year, and it rides on an entirely modernised platform. That means hybrid power and a smaller shape, better for challenging off-road rivals from Ford and Jeep.
2024 Toyota RAV4
- Price in Nigeria: 45 million and above
The Toyota RAV4 is one of the best-selling SUVs in the world, although the accolade doesn’t extend to Nigeria because the SUV isn’t widespread over here. Regardless, the RAV4 deserves its flowers as the best-selling SUV in the world. The Toyota RAV4 is one of the most popular vehicles on the road today, so don’t expect Toyota to start rewriting the formula for its successful compact SUV anytime soon. In this article, we will be looking at the 2024 Toyota RAV4, its features and the new additions Toyota has brought for the 2024 model year.
The 2024 RAV4 is available in six trim levels: LE, XLE, XLE Premium, Adventure, TRD Off-Road and Limited. Front-wheel drive is standard on most of the trim levels, with all-wheel drive offered as an option.
2024 Hyundai Elantra
- Price in Nigeria: N32 million
When Hyundai revealed the design of the facelift 2024 Elantra only minor bits were modified. The most noticeable new feature is a toned-down front facia with lead angular lights, a more narrow grill design, and a reshaped bumper. This is also not even the N-Line or N models which also are getting updated.
For 2024, Hyundai has given the Elantra a subtle but significant styling refresh. The new front end features a split grille for an even sleeker appearance, while the rear gets a more refined taillight design and a few more styling tweaks. Inside, there are a few new features that include additional USB charge ports, a redesigned wireless charging pad, and new side-impact airbags for rear passengers. The 2024 Elantra’s lineup is largely the same and includes an available hybrid powertrain and the high-performance Elantra N. Hyundai says it has revised the N’s steering and suspension for improved precision and control. Some of the competitors of the 2024 Hyundai Elantra include the Kia Forte, along with the Honda Civic and Mazda 3.

The big news for 2024 is the addition of the 626-hp Range Rover Sport SV, while the regular Range Rover Sport gains a new 542-hp plug-in-hybrid powertrain called P550e. This replaces last year’s P440e model and offers both more power and more electric driving range.
The new 2024 model looks good with modern technologies, with off-road capabilities which were completely redesigned from the old model with a new exterior and interior and it’s an expensive ride to ever spotted on Nigeria road. Elsewhere, the Range Rover Sport’s infotainment system has been upgraded to the latest Pivi Pro 4 software interface.
2024 Lexus RX 350
- Price in Nigeria: 120 million naira
The 2024 Lexus RX comes with a soft-riding and relaxed demeanour. The 2024 RX delivers a creamy ride, an upscale cabin, and a luxury presence, which are all traits it has been offering for several generations of the vehicle. The cabin is spacious enough for both people and cargo but only has a two-row seating arrangement.
Lexus introduces a plug-in RX450h+ model for 2024, It comes with a battery large enough for up to 35 miles of electric-only driving. The RX450h+ is offered only in loaded Luxury trim and serves as the range-topping model.

All-wheel drive is standard in the 2024 Lexus.
2024 Mercedes-Benz S580
- Price in Nigeria: 310 million naira
If you want to get a luxury sedan in full, the 2024 Mercedes-Benz S580 should be your top option. Without question, if we close our eyes and envision the quintessential luxury sedan, it’s the Mercedes-Benz S-Class that comes to mind.
Not only has it been the brand’s flagship for decades, but it has continuously delivered cutting-edge tech and first-class comfort. Since there aren’t any significant changes to the S-class lineup for the 2024 model year, Those looking for an even mightier, performance-focused model can check out the AMG S-class, which was relaunched this year after a two-year absence. Buying a 2024 Mercedes-Benz S580 in Nigeria, the shopper should expect a silken 429-hp turbocharged straight-six, and the S580 has a hearty twin-turbo V-8 with 496 horses. The S580e plug-in hybrid pairs the turbo six with an electric motor. While the V-8-powered S580 is slightly quicker, it can’t match the PHEV’s fuel economy, including a notable 58 miles of electric-only highway range.
2024 Changan CS35 Plus
- Price in Nigeria: 53 million naira
The Changan CS35 is a compact SUV that offers a roomy interior and is powered by the Blue Core 1.6L DOHC all-aluminum engine. It is designed to provide a balance of power, efficiency, and performance. The CS35 Plus model adds two turbo versions with a 1.4-liter engine. The model, which presented its new generation in the last half of 2019, incorporated a completely new and dynamic design language, and a renewed interior, added more equipment and technology, delivering everything you are looking for in a car and much more.
The CS35 Plus may be a success in sales in Nigeria due to its luxury looks, the two new versions, Luxury and Elite, have a 1.4L turbo Bluecore direct injection gasoline engine with 153 HP of power and 255 Nm, associated with a seven-speed automatic transmission (DCT).
2024 Toyota Hilux
The Toyota Hilux is one of the prominent pickup trucks that you will find readily available in Nigeria for sale. The Hilux is driven by Nigerian security personnel as well as wealthy Nigerians.
Just like the 2023 model, the 2024 Toyota Hilux comes with updated lines and a less blocky look which makes it look modern and aggressive. Toyota redesigned the front grille completely, making it bigger. The name ‘TOYOTA’ is inscribed on the front grille. The body of the vehicle is made of chrome which is a premium material. While the headlights are completely redesigned to complement that modern look, also the graphics on the lights are updated to improve visibility. The 2024 Toyota Hilux will also use lighter chassis and lighter materials, a decision for this move was made due to fuel economy. This saves the planet and saves the buyers money too.
2024 Toyota Venza
- Price in Nigeria: 64 million Naira to 70 million naira.
Another Toyota car that’s returning with a 2024 model with no single changes is the Toyota Venza. The Toyota Venza goes big on efficiency and features but struggles to match the utility and spaciousness of most offerings in its competitive mid-size two-row SUV class like Toyota Rav4 and others. This new Venza has stylish lines, a fuel-sipping hybrid powertrain, and an electrochromic panoramic roof. Although the 2024 Toyota Venza is based on the smaller RAV4 Hybrid, it is nevertheless categorised as a midsize SUV. It so produces inconsistent results as it crosses the boundary between the compact and midsize classifications. Though the Venza’s sloping rear roofline significantly reduces cargo space, it distinguishes itself from the RAV4 with a sharper appearance and a more luxurious interior.
Whether you consider it a compact SUV or a midsize SUV, the Venza is superior in terms of fuel efficiency compared to the other cars. Toyota will stop making the Venza after the 2024 model year to make room for the 2025 Toyota Crown Signia, a similar but more upscale SUV.
2024 Mercedes Benz G63 G-wagon
Price in Nigeria: 850 million naira
Considering purchasing a brand-new, low-mileage SUV in Nigeria? The 2024 Mercedes G-Class is an excellent option if you’re searching for a luxury vehicle, especially one that can handle the country’s treacherous road system. It costs 850 million naira, meanwhile, which is twice as much as some alternatives. Despite its size, the 2024 Mercedes G-Class seems alert and responsive to manoeuvre through traffic quickly, rather than large and unwieldy, thanks to its powerful drivetrain. It rides very comfortably over bumps, albeit the car can sway a little on very uneven surfaces.
You may adjust the amount of regenerative braking with the paddles on the rear of the steering wheel. This makes it possible to reduce the speed of the car as soon as you depress the accelerator, which can enhance the enjoyment of driving through towns.
The 2024 Mercedes Benz G63 G-wagon outperforms its rivals in terms of on-road speed; in performance tests by CarAndDriver at 60 mph, it even outperformed the Cadillac Escalade V by a few tenths. With 9.5 inches of ground clearance, 20-inch wheels, and the legendary triple locking differentials that make quick work of Rodeo Drive’s most difficult expansion joints, it is still incredibly capable off-road.
2024 Lexus ES
- Price in Nigeria: 82 million naira
The Lexus ES sedan is one of the most popular luxury sedans you will find in the Nigerian car market today. Despite the rapid decline of sedan cars in the market, the ES is still one of the sedans that draws the attention of many. The 2024 Lexus ES is an affordable luxury sedan that is conservatively styled and offers a wide range of trims and several powertrain options, all at a reasonable price. The 2024 ES comes with either a four-cylinder, a V-6 engine, or even a four-cylinder hybrid powertrain, with the hybrid trims being the ones with the best fuel economy. All-wheel drive is optional, and the 2024 Lexus ES offers highly attractive pricing compared to cars like the Audi A6, BMW 5-series, and Mercedes-Benz E-class that it’s in the same category with.
2024 Honda Odyssey
- Price in Nigeria: N36.2 Million to N47.5 Million
Marking its 30-year sale, Honda returns the popular minivan, the Odyssey for the 2024 model year. Considering how few vehicles only occupy the minivan market, the Honda Odyssey happens to be one of the minivans popularly known and driven and also competes favourably with the Toyota Sienna which has a cult-like following.
Since its redesign for the 2018 model and minor refreshes for the 2020 and 2021 models, the Honda Odyssey has remained almost the same to date, and it returns without any changes for the 2024 model.
2024 Toyota Camry
Price in Nigeria: 45 million naira
The facelifted Camry has arrived with sleeker looks, AWD, and a hybrid-only powertrain. The exterior of the ninth-generation Camry is a heavy refresh, not a completely new car. The LED lights and bumpers have been reshaped, but the design isn’t radically different. From behind, the Camry might be mistaken for a Lexus ES due to its similar appearance. It’s worth noting that these changes apply to the 2025 model year.
For the 2024 Toyota Camry, there’s the possibility that it’d be redesigned for the 2024 model. It’s likely coming with a fully updated powertrain, exterior, and interior design. Also, the 2024 Toyota Camry is expected to be available at the end of 2023 or early 2024.
2024 Honda CR-V
Honda is coming back with the CR-V for the 2024 model year. Since the redesign of the CR-V for the 2023 model, the SUV has drawn a lot of attention and has even beaten its competitor, the Toyota RAV4, in the market. For the 2024 model year, Honda adds a Sport-L trim level to the lineup. The new Sport-L stands between the Sport Hybrid and Sport Touring Hybrid trims. Just like these two models, it’s also offered in hybrid. The 2024 Honda CR-V comes in six different trim levels LX, EX, Sport Hybrid, EX-L, Spory-L Hybrid & Sport Touring Hybrid.
2024 Range Rover Velar
- Price in Nigeria: 180 million naira
Land Rover has revealed the 2024 Range Rover Velar with some subtle changes. Outside the design is largely the same but believe it or not, there is new stuff. Here we have updated headlights with jewel-like DRLs and a slightly revised front grill pattern. The rear gets a revised bumper.
Inside is where the most changes occur with a new 11.4in curved infotainment system that eliminates most of the buttons inside. This latest Pivi Pro system offers extensive OTA updates, wireless CarPlay, and much more.
2024 Lexus IS
- Price in Nigeria: N55 million and go up to N75 million
From breaking rumours back in 2020 to getting behind the wheel in 2024, I finally get to understand the IS 500 F-Sport Performance out on some gorgeous mountain roads. Essentially the original launch spec, this 2024 IS500 is finished in Incognito with 19in BBS and a bright circuit red interior. But as we know, the highlight of the car is under the hood. Under the hood is the iconic Lexus 5.0L V8 making 472HP and 395 lb-ft of torque paired to an 8-speed gearbox and sending power to the rear wheels. It weighs just 3,891 lbs, just 143 lbs heavier than an IS350 F Sport. 0-60 happens around 4.5sec and somehow it can do 24MPG.
Lexus makes the F Sport trim more widely available on the IS for 2024. For the first time, the base four-cylinder IS300 can be had as an F Sport. Or, for those who are mostly interested in sporty looks, the F Sport Design trim level skips the mechanical upgrades but keeps the appearance enhancements. The IS350 adds a Blackout package that brings dark chrome trim, black exterior mirrors, and matte black wheels, plus the contents of the Memory package and the F Sport Handling package.
