Ghana: Mitsubishi Pajero very popular

* Click on title for Ghanaian street videos! *

Ghana is one of the most dynamic car market in Africa, with 12,000 new car sales in 2011, double that of neighbour Cote d’Ivoire. It is also relatively mature, with a full variety of models available and a very fragmented structure.

Among the most popular new cars are the Mitsubishi Pajero, Toyota Hilux, Nissan Hardbody, Mitsubishi L200, Tata Indigo, Toyota Corolla and Fortuner. Surprisingly the Pontiac Vibe also seem to be successful, as well as the Ford Ranger, Tata Indica, Honda CRV, Toyota Yaris Sedan and Mahindra Pick-up.

The Dacia Logan also appears in the streets of Accra. The Iranian Saipa 111 (aka Kia Pride) is ubiquitous as a taxi, and the same goes for 1991 Opel Astras and Mercedes TN vans which all seem to travel to Ghana to finish their busy lives.
