There is no doubting the Ninth generation (E120, E130 ) Toyota Corolla is Nigeria's best selling vehicle, it is a car you will find on every street in the country.


It is rugged

It is easy fix

Easy to maintain

Excellent fuel economy

Excellent resale value after decades of use.



Sadly with the introduction of E-valuation (age restrictions) this very reliable vehicle will soon disappear from our lands as foreign used cars.

Currently a used 2006/7 goes for about ₦3.3-3.5m

In a few days prices will reach 3.6-3.7m (new tarrif)

I am just thinking out loud, our very own innoson could buy up patent and production lines for this discontinued vehicles and I am certain there is a ready market to absorb and possibly export to other African countries brand new units of this vehicle.

Just thinking out loud.

True. Corolla body don turn plastics finish, not good for our terrain cos not every Nigerian road looks like the new alimosho or lekki roads. I hate their new models.

I wish Peugeot could be resuscitated. It still baffles me how we got to this point as a nation.

Simplicity in design, availablity of used parts. Yes it is not a luxury car, but a very basic reliable car.

Kia/Hyundai are very reliable vehicles, but do not come close in technical know how and parts availablity.

The corolla was designed for the average Nigerian.

Any push to start 2022 Toyota or Honda can be stolen anywhere in the world in 5-10mins, corollas are stolen because they are reliable .

Insure your car when you buy one.

If you buy push to start make sure you buy faraday key fob protector. Put your key inside at night and put am for your microwave. That way no transmission of radio waves for thieves to steal your car.

Driving out of most compounds in lagos will be hazardous to a 2014-22 Corolla sports, driving one in ikorodu is a death sentence to the car.


The 2003-8 model has sturdy body parts that don't fall off on slightest impact.

It's not always about how beautiful a car looks, keeping it that way can be an uphill task.

Yes, and also can be cloned. Cheaper to strake a deal with manufacturer and get the old production lines


Miyachi:


Actually, they do.

GM sold rebadged Corollas under their Geo brand from the late 90's to early 2000s. The Pontiac Vibe is another rebadged Corolla. Toyota is also collaborating with Mazda (I think, the Mazda 2. Toyota sells it as the Yaris ia). They've collaborated with BMW and have their engine in the Supra, the list goes on.

If it is a good enough deal, they'll take it. But I don't think it's going to make any financial sense to them, the market for new cars is Nigeria is a niche one. It's going to be difficult to make it affordable and still make a profit.

I totally forgot about these mergers.

It has

Air-conditioning
Airbags
Automatic transmission
Power assisted steering
You can install an Android audio system
Abs is optional

Do you really think anything special is in the 2020 model apart from a CVT transmission that will not make it to 200,000miles without breaking down?

Tell me 1 thing in the 2020 model that is new.

If people find it hard to buy tokunbo corolla would they be able to afford brandnew one at 7m plus?

The real issue is affordability and purchasing power cause those that can afford 7m cars would rather buy something else

But we don't have functioning steel industry
How will the engine block, transmission and body be produced
Unfortunately the powers that be will not allow such a productive economic blueprint to see the light of day.

Travel to Anambra with a presentation. What I don't like about Nigerian businessmen though is he can say he's not interested and start doing it without you involved.

Cruise control is available in 2003

Break hold

Blind spot light

That's all.

The rest as simple media accessories that can be installed on a 100k android system

Blind spot light - plenty aftermarket solutions

Rear camera - plenty aftermarket solutions

All you listed is what I can easily install in a 1999 toyota camry. So you've still not told us anything special about the 2020 corolla.

I partially agree with gazzuzz, IVM doesn't have to stick with the old dashboard.
New features can be added easily and individuals and corporate organizations will rush it.
