abatically:this company is still in its infancy, and are yet to get everything right, including this. Matter of fact, its been a long time I used my car's CD player or seen anyone use theirs. On the side, its wrong to think that only aged people will by this ride as even Op's friend doesn't come across as aged from the post. |

Homguy: This is just like building a car with air conditioner and then seal all the windows such that u can't wind down. After all why do u need to wind down when u have ac lol. Just accept it, they made a mistake and I'm sure they will add CD player in future models. |

greenhulk:Yes, they made a mistake. Who hasn't? Will he fix the mistake? I think so. Till then, he has done what a lot of entrepreneurs couldn't and wouldn't dare. I am not justifying not having a CD player in a car but it is not the most important thing in a car. if that car is still running after five years or 100,000kms without any mechanical issues, then he would have achieved what was thought impossible in Nigeria. Lets promote Nigeria. Lets support home made. PS, the car has power windows and AC. 1 Like |

CD players make quiet exit from cars. |

It is not just a mistake not to include a CD player in a modern vehicle but a design error. Just to buttress the points most respondents here have made, if pace setters within the automobile industry still have CD players in their vehicles; why would Innoson, an upcoming indigenous auto manufacturer not deem it necessary to add that feature to their design. Having said that, I Think they hurriedly went on sale without necessarily undertaking a study of their customers' taste and choices. I have only seen their SUVs but not sedan or saloon counterpart. Does it mean everybody would be forced to use SUV? It is a wonderful thing to have an automobile designed and assembled in Nigeria but what about maintenance of such automobile. Assuming I leave in Sokoto and I buy IVM, can I get replacement parts in that region of the country. If I am driving on the road and certain components of the vehicle fails, can I easily find replacement parts? What about workshops...how well spread are they within Nigeria? In as much as we need to encourage the local content, it must be done the right way. Before you begin to manufacture cars, you must have the capacity to build and manufacture serviceable/replacement parts for those vehicles. Research automobile manufactures across the world, you will find out that those countries have the capacity to produce serviceable parts. This is what basically drives the automobile industry. Nigeria relies heavily on imported products including serviceable parts for vehicles imported into the country. Personally, I don't like any of the Innoson's SUVs in terms of their shape and look but some other people may like it. How long do you think they can be kept on the Nigerian roads. Can Nigeria sustain this car manufacturing industry? In a few years from now, let's see how far we can go with it. What about the build quality of those vehicles? How many Nigerians can afford those vehicles (even though they are brand new) and keep them on the roads for the five years? The popular Igbo adage "that at the end of the journey, we shall count the miles covered" comes to mind in this context. It is not just a mistake not to include a CD player in a modern vehicle but a design error. Just to buttress the points most respondents here have made, if pace setters within the automobile industry still have CD players in their vehicles; why would Innoson, an upcoming indigenous auto manufacturer not deem it necessary to add that feature to their design. Personally, I won't buy any of those vehicles however cheap they appear. I would rather wait until I get a certain amount of money to buy a fairly used trusted brand with the right appeal and design quality. Policies are not properly articulated in Nigeria that's why we have several failed projects. Once the those who implement these projects get the money they want, such projects are either abandoned of completed with the best of substandard materials. 1 Like |

I better keep doing my trusted tokunbo with stability in its drive handling, having 6 CD players, minimal A/C noise interference, gearstick and steering wheel materials which last long, and auto gear and the name of the car being reflected in the centre controls unlike some Innoson IVM badged GAC Cognow chinese/Naija contraption. 1 Like |

With all these long talk, mine is handling; If it handles well i'm in for it , if it doesn't i'm out of it. Game!!! I need to be able to steer clear corners without losing my mind, and dodged certain pot hole at reasonable speed in our highways. I should be able to dogmatically brake abruptly at sudden stoppage to avoid accident and steer off without rolling over 1 Like |

Siena: Actually more and more cars are coming without CD players, for the last 2 years there has been a steady increase in the number of cars that do not have CD players standard. http://www.edmunds.com/car-technology/the-car-cd-player-deathwatch.html The link is from last year, but even more cars have ditched their CD players. 1 Like |

oseo1: Only few cars are produced without CD players, and those cars have alternatives which is streaming. Music and videos can be streamed right from the internet. Those cars are not relying solenly on music from smart phones or mp3s. Now ask urself this, does this innoson SUV have Pandora, iHeartRadio, HD radio or sattelite radio. Does it even have ipod compatibility? The answer is NO, so why remove the CD player when u don't have an alternative. Even if it has these services, which internet do u want to stream from? This is just like importing a car with navigation from north America and selling it as premium here in Nigeria when we all know the navigation is useless here. Totally eradicating CD players is not yet ripe for Nigeria, we still have a long way to go. Our internet is slow and subscription is very expensive, so there's no way streaming service will work (at least not yet). Until then, CD players will always play a big part. Also most luxury SUVs can play DVD, and once a system can play DVD then it will automatically play audio CD. If playing music from ur phone through Bluetooth into the car's audio is what u call innovation then u are still learning. What happens if u want to skip a track, grab ur phone and change the track? How is that safe? If I can't see my music on my car's dashboard and control it from the dashboard without touching my phone then it is useless and no no. This is where iPod comes into play, but I doubt of this car even has iPod compatibility. 5 Likes 3 Shares |

Why the noise? This model is already at least 2 to 3 years old. If don't like it buy an after market stereo like high speed or xplod |

abatically: Actually almost every car that allows you to play music via Bluetooth also allows you to skip tracks from the car controls. You are judging the car without complete facts which I think is very unfair. |

My own is the price, pls can anyone in the house confirm if this vehicle actually cost 1 million? |
Re: A Closer Look At The Innoson SUV. (pictures) by oseo1(m): 8:27am On Dec 04, 2014 |
Pluslargent: It is NOT 1 million, their smallest sedan is just over 1m. |
