Introducing WOX RIVO: Compact Urban Mobility for African Markets

Urban mobility in Africa demands vehicles that are practical, fuel-efficient and easy to maintain. The WOX RIVO answers that demand with a compact five-door body, a four-seat cabin, left-hand drive configuration and a petrol powertrain tuned for everyday city use.

The RIVO measures 3,580 × 1,580 × 1,520 mm with a 2,260 mm wheelbase — dimensions that allow confident navigation of dense urban streets, tight parking and congested intersections common in cities across Nigeria, Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire, Cameroon, Morocco, Egypt and other eligible markets.

With a turning diameter of 10 m or less and a minimum ground clearance of more than 145 mm, the RIVO is suited to the varied road conditions found across North, West and Central Africa.

Petrol Powertrain and Fuel Efficiency

The WOX RIVO is powered by an inline three-cylinder EFI petrol engine paired with a four-speed manual transmission and front-wheel drive. The stated fuel consumption is 4.5–5.5 L/100 km, making the RIVO one of the more economical options in its class for daily urban driving.

The 25-litre fuel tank accepts 92/93 RON unleaded petrol — a grade widely available across eligible African markets. The front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout keeps the drivetrain simple and accessible for local service networks.

Key powertrain facts:

  • Inline 3-cylinder EFI petrol engine
  • 4-speed manual transmission plus reverse
  • Front-wheel drive
  • 4.5–5.5 L/100 km stated fuel consumption
  • 25-litre fuel tank
  • 92/93 RON unleaded petrol
