Drivers in Nigeria prefer different vehicle types, from crossovers to sedans to SUVs and trucks, but one thing they have in common for this trajectory is their practicality, durability, and sometimes ostentatiousness.

There is no shortage of choices when it comes to picking their ideal cars. Each person is different and, as such, will have different tastes when it comes to car choice. Most people look out for affordable cars and are drawn to second-hand cars, while others love fine luxury cars with bold colours. Sometimes space and passenger volume, fuel efficiency, or even the brand name of the car, are criteria for consumer choice. Whatever is projected by a buyer, different cars have been manufactured to meet their automotive needs. 

When it comes to the most popular and most used cars in Nigeria, there are trends which have been set. People follow trends, especially those set by celebrities, or even if they are of a common nature; they believe that if everyone else is buying it, I should as well. What is gotten here is that the car is relatively favoured by the majority of it is a season-old, celebrity-hyped car.

These particular vehicles are sold out fast in car dealerships and always come to mind for recommendations. Some cars gain popularity from their amazing features and specifications, while some are bought on the basis of their high-quality brand names, such as the Porsche, Maserati, Lamborghini, and the Benzes of the world.
