Indigenous automaker, Nord Automobiles, has added two new models to its lineup, with the unveiling of the Nord A3 Sedan and Nord A9 Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV), recently.

The unveiling ceremony, attended by notable dignitaries from both the public and private sectors, held at the expansive Nord showroom in the high profile Lekki area of Lagos.

The Chairman/CEO of Nord Automobiles, Mr. Oluwatobi Ajayi, assured that the two new models will meet the needs of different segments of the motoring public.

According to him, the company has witnessed tremendous growth with its range of models increased from five to 11 in just about a four-year period.

The CEO highlighted the reliability, distinct design language and lower cost of ownership of the Nord A3, even as he said the Nord A9 stands out in a class of its own, as a unique SUV.

The Nord promoter stated that already, auto enthusiasts have started buying both models, as some were sold during the launch event.

The A3 comes with a modern SQRE4T15C engine and a CVT displacement offering maximum power of 115Kw and maximum horsepower of 150Ps, as well as a wheel base of 2700 mm. Its front suspension type is Independent MacPherson, while the rear suspension type is Multi-link rear suspension. The 1.6 litre engine car also comes with an electric power steering and a fuel tank capacity of 70 litres.

The Nord A9 on the other hand is a three row SUV, that can easily go for a family car, boosting ample leg room in the interior and generous ground clearance with its 2,820 mm wheelbase.

With a fantastic fuel efficient capacity of 8.2 litre/100km, the SUV comes with modern sound system and latest auto electronics and info mechanisms for the comfort of occupants. It also comes with a self-park option.

Both models, just like other Nord models, come with a five-year warranty or 200,000 kilometres.

Speaking on the vehicle financing scheme, Executive Director of the Alternative Bank, Dr Jekwu Ozoemene, explained that the collaboration between the bank and Nord Automobiles offers prospective customers the opportunity to own any model of Nord through an easy payment scheme. He also announced the purchase of two units of the newly launched Nord A3.
