Innoson to roll out new cars in April

The IVM Fox

Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Company Limited (IVM), Nnewi, has made yet another milestone in the Nigerian auto industry as it promises to hit the market with two locally produced sedan cars; IVM Fox and IVM Amazon, as well an MPV; IVM Heritage, come April this year.

The company said its diversification into the passenger car segment was in fulfillment of its pledge to constantly expand the range of its vehicles to meet varied needs of the local market. It said the IVM Fox and IVM Amazon will be the fore-runners of a total of five passenger vehicles expected to roll out of the Nnewi plant in Anambra State in April, adding that this is in response to the introduction of the new automotive industry development plan by the Federal Government, which was designed to facilitate the production of affordable vehicles in the country.

The All-New Sedans – Fox and Amazon Powered by a 1.5 litre Mitsubishi engine, Fox is a B-segment sedan with a hatchback version, both of which are driven by either a four-speed automatic or five-speed manual transmission.

 Occupants of the Fox (including the driver) have a very friendly interior ambience, thanks to the well contoured seats, ample legroom and headroom, and an air-conditioning system. The bigger and more executive-looking sister, the Amazon, has under the bonnet a 2.0 litre engine (featuring an inbuilt turbocharger) which works in tandem with a four-speed automatic transmission or a five-speed manual gearbox.
