Soon, he was importing motorcycle parts to assemble in Nigeria, and soon after, in 2007, he started the vehicle assembly arm of the company - Innoson Motors. It has been one success after the other since then.

Many called the IVM G80 a cheap knock-off of the super performance German car. How did the IVM G80 wind up looking so like the G-Wagon?

Innoson G80 vs Mercedes Benz G Wagon - striking resemblance!

Quite simply, really. The IVM G80 is a variant of the BAIC BJ80 SUV. This Chinese made SUV is actually a replica of the G-Wagon, and was designed to be a cheap alternative. Amazingly the BAIC BJ80 is sold for about ₦15m, while the G80 is around ₦27m. The original G-Wagon is between ₦45m and ₦55m.

So yes, Innoson does manufacture cars, but not completely sometimes :).
