Why Japanese Used Cars Are Popular in Africa

They are popular just about everywhere, but it’s interesting to find out why Japanese used cars are popular, especially in Africa. Thousands of pre-owned vehicles from Japan are bought, inspected, and shipped to their excited new owners around the world on a daily basis. These autos are in demand in Africa, especially in countries where right-hand drive vehicles are the norm. As you know, Japan is a right-hand-drive country, though they also export left-hand drive vehicles.

Japanese-made autos have a reputation for being high quality, reliable, and fuel efficient—factors that are important when you are driving along Africa’s roads. In most African countries, the roads are not well-engineered so it is common to go through bumps and mud. Vehicles from Japan, especially SUVs, can easily go through these tough road conditions because of their build and performance off the road. Even sedans with all-wheel drive features are popular, such as the elegant Toyota Premio.

Another reason why Japanese used cars are popular in Africa is that these are very well-maintained, thanks to the care given to them by their owners and the strict motor vehicle inspection the cars have to go through. Road rules and regulations are also strict, and owners will have to pay high fines if these are not followed. Another factor contributing to the cars’ impeccable condition is that Japan’s roads are smooth, so the cars don’t go through bumps and potholes that usually damage the chassis and suspension systems.

Japan has also put in place a regulation than all vehicles about to be exported to other countries are inspected for roadworthiness first. Once a car passes inspection, importers can secure an appraisal certificate from the Japan Automobile Appraisal Institute, or JAAI, as proof that the car they are importing is roadworthy, and meets the standards set by the destination country. The JAAI also provides details about the vehicle’s physical condition, year of manufacture, grade, weight, and odometer reading at the time of inspection, so the buyer or importer can verify it as soon as the vehicle arrives at port.

Now that you know why Japanese used cars are popular, what are you still waiting for? Get yours now from reliable exporters!

How to Save on Fuel with your Used Toyota Premio

The first step to saving is already done, thanks to your decision to buy a used Toyota Premio. Your money-saving habit has just begun, and you can keep up the good work by saving on fuel costs. The already-efficient engine can help you along!

•    To reduce fuel consumption and improve handling, decrease the weight of the car by taking out unnecessary items. Driving 100km after having unloaded 10kg can save up to 30ml of gasoline. Remove excess weight such as unused roof racks. The amount of work the car engine does is related to the car’s weight and its aerodynamics.

•    Driving around in the hopes you’ll find you way back consumes 350ml of fuel every ten minutes. Avoid getting lost by planning your trip in advance. What is the fastest, most efficient driving route? Planning can also help you avoid traffic jams, closed-off streets, and road works. You might even realize you won’t need to use the car after all!

•    Accelerate and decelerate smoothly by stepping softly on the gas pedal. Shift your gears at the appropriate time and make the most out of coasting—slow the car down by stepping off the gas pedal instead of just braking. A smooth and proper driving style helps to conserve fuel and reduce wear and tear on brakes as well.



•    Idling your used Toyota Premio for 5 minutes wastes up to 65ml of gas and emits 151g of harmful carbon dioxide too, so be smart and stop that engine.

•    As much as possible, keep a constant pace, using the highest possible gear. This is the most efficient setup, because at a constant speed of 50 km/h in the city, a vehicle online needs about 5% engine power to maintain momentum. Fuel consumption is improved by 10-30%.

•    Check tire air pressure regularly. Studies show that low pressure increases fuel consumption!

•    To conserve fuel, limit the use of air conditioning. Use it in moderation and if it’s cool enough outside, choose to let fresh air flow inside the car. You can also improve AC efficiency by setting the system to Recirculate.

You see, it’s not so difficult to save on fuel. Just drive your used Toyota Premio properly and you’ll be on your way to not only conserving gas, but saving the earth as well!
