Notably, the M20 has also been offered by another Nigerian company, Zahav Automobile* of the Stallion Group, which has been assembling Changan, Jinbei, and Foton vehicles.

In November/December 2019, IVM officially introduced the Ikenga, a rebadged BAIC Wevan M60; the G20-Smart, a rebadged Keyton EX80; the Shuttle Bus, a rebadged Keyton M70. However, pictorial evidence indicates only the Ikenga has been assembled/imported in any significant amount.

In February 2020, it showed a new sedan: the IVM Caris, which is a rebadge of the facelifted (2017) Dongfeng Joyear S50.

Since 2018, Innoson has also been providing the country's military with updated (2017-) versions of the BAW Yongshi, known as "G15" (previously G12).

For some of the vehicles mentioned in the preceding post, see this.

P.S.: This is becoming another Pyeonghwa Motors case, but on the plus side, the company at least provides information regularly to the public.
