Volkewagen, Audi, Hyundai, Skoda and Mahindra range, were
paraded and sold. It was also an opportunity for new products

and the latest CR-V; while Hyundai Nigeria exhibited the all-new
Elentra unveiled in Abuja three months ago, the new Veracruz
and Tucson, as well as Santa Fe, Accent, Azera, HI ( bus and
utility version), Getz, H100 mini truck and the 30 –
