General Manager of CIG Motors, Jubril Arogundade, explained that the GS4 which is in its second generation comes with ample leg room, three driving modes, amazing comfort and fuel economy as well as a seamless navigation system.

Earlier, the governor was conducted on a tour of the newly rebuilt state-of-the-art GAC workshop which is located right behind the ultra-modern showroom and equipped with different sections such as Express maintenance, general repair, four-wheel alignment, and spray booth, metal repair, polishing and body mechanics.
