Barugzai Mercedes-benz VIP V Class Exported to Nigeria | Luxury VIP Van in Dubai

Barugzai VIP Vans — Now Exporting to Nigeria

We've been building VIP vans out of our Dubai workshop for a while now, and a big chunk of them end up in Nigeria. Not a one-off shipment here and there — it's become one of our main markets. Recent builds have gone out to Vintage Luxury Interior and to Zlatan Ibile, among others.

Here's what we actually do to them. Take a standard V-Class or Vito, strip the interior, and rebuild it properly. Captain seats that go fully flat, heated, with massage. A roof lined with fiber optic lighting so it looks like stars at night — works well when you're sitting in Lagos traffic and want to switch off for a bit. Electric partition between front and back, curtains, so conversations stay private. A 43-inch Samsung TV in the back, decent Wi-Fi, Audison or Burmester sound depending on the build.

Everything's built to order. We're not pulling these off a production line — each one gets built for the person buying it, down to the leather color and where they want the fridge or the espresso machine mounted. That's really the main difference between us and the cheaper conversions coming out of Turkey or China.

For Nigeria specifically, we've tuned the builds for the climate — the AC and suspension are set up for the heat and the roads, not just copy-pasted from the UAE spec. Every van comes with a 2-year warranty on the interior work, and we handle shipping from our showroom straight to Lagos or Abuja, so you're not dealing with freight forwarders on your own.

If you're looking at a van for Victoria Island, Abuja, wherever — new build or converting something you already own — message us and we'll walk you through it.
