The Organizing Committee of the Abuja International Motor Fair has revealed that this year’s edition is themed on “Driving the Future of Mobility in Nigeria,” and will focus on showcasing advancements in automotive technology, electric vehicles, and sustainable mobility solutions.
This event, which is in its 25th edition this year, promises to be the most exciting yet, bringing together leading stakeholders in the nation’s automobile and allied sectors.
The landmark edition will feature exhibitions of the latest models of passenger cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles, spare parts, accessories, and services, making Eagle Square a hub of automotive excellence for four days.
In a press statement on Friday, the Organising Committee gave more insight into the event, saying, “It is going to be the most expansive yet, celebrating a quarter-century of showcasing the latest innovations in the automotive industry while driving commerce and consumer choice for the Nigerian market.
“The fair will feature a comprehensive display of vehicles, from fuel-efficient sedans and rugged SUVs to heavy-duty trucks, electric vehicles, and the latest in automotive technology and accessories.”
Gathering of big brands, trailblazers
In a major boost for the event, Nigeria’s automotive giants have confirmed their participation by booking significant exhibition spaces, according to the press statement.
Some of the nation’s biggest automotive brands have already secured prime exhibition spaces, to showcase an impressive lineup of vehicles and technologies.
Among them are Toyota Nigeria, Mikano Motors, Coscharis Motors, and Cedric Autos, alongside several other industry heavyweights.
Visitors can expect to see iconic models, such as the Toyota Camry, Corolla, Hilux, Land Cruiser Prado, and Land Cruiser 300 Series, alongside the Hiace Bus and Corolla Cross.
On display by Mikano Motors will be the Changan CS55 Plus, Changan Alsvin, Maxus T60 Pick-up, and ZNA models — each designed to deliver style, performance, and reliability.
Premium brands like Ford, BMW, Jaguar, Land Rover, and Morris Garages (MG) will also showcase best-sellers including the Ford Ranger, BMW X5, Jaguar E-Pace, and MG ZS SUV, while Renault will display its popular line-ups.
From Jetour, models like the Dashing, X50, X70, X70 Plus, X90 Plus, T2 PHEV, and Ice Cream, will headline the Chinese marque’s presence.
Exciting debutants from Cedric Autos — including the Jim pick-up, Roar bus (CNG/petrol), and Voyah Space Buses (Electric & petrol) — will also make their first public appearance at the show.
This high level of interest is an indication to the entire sector that the Abuja International Motor Fair remains the undisputed platform for launching products, engaging directly with customers, and gauging market trends.
“We are pulling out all the stops to make this a truly unforgettable experience for exhibitors and visitors alike,” the organisers assured.
With the high demand for premium exhibition space, the committee is urging other automotive companies, spare parts dealers, financial institutions, insurance companies, and ancillary service providers to secure their spots without delay.
“Eagle Square offers a finite amount of prime space,” the Committee added.
“We are already experiencing a surge in booking inquiries following these major confirmations.
“To avoid disappointment and to leverage the massive marketing campaign we are rolling out, we strongly advise interested companies to contact us now to book their spaces.
“This is the perfect opportunity to position your brand alongside the best in the business and connect with thousands of potential buyers.”
The 25th Abuja International Motor Fair is expected to attract thousands of visitors, including government officials, corporate fleet managers, auto enthusiasts, and the general public.
