These countries are the largest producer of cars in Africa
More than 5 million used vehicles exported by the European Union, Japan, and the United States between 2015 and 2018 found their way to Africa.
The high usage of foreign used cars in Africa is because they are cheap, and the lack of manufacturing plants makes purchasing a new vehicle more expensive.
However, some African companies dispute the challenges that hinder the successful running of an automobile company are thriving.
Below are the top countries in Africa with the most automobile production;
South Africa – Largest car producers

Nigeria
Nigeria is home to carmakers like Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing (IVM), Nord Automobiles Limited, Coscharis Motors, and Lanre Shittu Motors (LSM), among others.
Kenya
Growth in Kenya’s auto industry is being driven by the country’s conducive auto industry policy and a combination of low-cost and abundant labour.
