Kanayo O. Kanayo Cars

Bentley Continental GT N71million

2007 Toyota Camry 4.5million

Toyota Land Cruiser N30million

Toyota 4runner N12million

2012 Toyota Camry N9.8million

Bentley Continental GT N71million

He chose to wear a purple frock, the same color as the car, revealing that he had purchased the vehicle in 2018. The Continental GT is unequaled in its class thanks to its 6.0 liter, twin-turbocharged W12 engine, a step-change in technology, and a really spectacular design language. This Bentley GT coupé is the epitome of a grand tourer; it is incredibly powerful, expertly made, and attractively designed.

The Continental GT conveys a sense of speed and presence with its broad, low body and sleek, super-formed lines. A pre-programmed sequence of outside lighting welcomes you as soon as you open the car. The mood lighting in the interior of the automobile, which is installed as standard equipment, can be customized to match the interior’s attractive design. You can select colorful or subdued settings in seven colors, as well as backlight the tread plates in your preferred color, with lighting strips designed to highlight the car’s essential design lines.

2007 Toyota Camry 4.5million

This is Kanayo’s go-to vehicle because of its practicality and affordability in his daily movements and activities. The Toyota Camry is a favorite of both the reviewer and the consumer, and the 2007 model is no different. It has a solid performance, a roomy passenger compartment, and a long history of reliability.

Toyota Land Cruiser N30million

He purchased this roomy vehicle after agreeing to an endorsement arrangement with Globacom Nigeria. The Toyota Prado is a sizable SUV-style wagon with a seven-seat interior, a reputation for dependability, and unmatched service support. Although it is a large 4WD vehicle, it is highly comfortable for a family car on a daily basis and is one of the best options for lengthy bush journeys because to its extra-tough construction. The more potent but more expensive V6 petrol engine was eliminated from the lineup in November 2017 due to a lack of consumer demand, leaving only the 2.8-litre turbo-diesel as an option. With the manual transmission, it uses 7.9 liters/100 km, while the automatic transmission uses only a little bit more. With any gearbox, realistic driving consumption should be around 10.5 liters per 100 kilometers.

Toyota 4runner N12million

Although it has two rows of seats, 270 horsepower, and a load volume over average for its class, it does not drive like the typical family haulers when you are behind the wheel. The control characteristics of this body-on-frame off-road vehicle are more suited to rock-crawling than mall-crawling. The 4Runner is your winch line to a better life, though, if the gravel roads of your activities lead to rocks, ruts, or muck.

Rear-, four-, or all-wheel drive can be paired with the 4.0-liter V-6 engine and five-speed automatic transmission of the 4Runner. Rear-wheel drive is standard on all SR5 variants save the base Limited model, but selectable, part-time four-wheel drive is available on all other trims.

2012 Toyota Camry N9.8million

When you see this car, you think of class; Kanayo uses it for significant meetings and commutes to work in it. The 2012 Toyota Camry’s strong placement in our midsize car rankings is a result of its excellent reliability rating, comfortable ride, and spacious cabin. The 2012 Toyota Camry front-wheel-drive is a fantastic midsize car for buyers interested in a pleasant daily driver thanks to its stable handling and precise steering. A respectable 178 horsepower four-cylinder engine and a six-speed automated transmission are included with every Camry. A more powerful 268-horsepower V6 engine is available on some models, which uses the same transmission.
