One you don't care that much about with a little clearance. Driving is nuts. - Sep 2023
We don't really drive a lot because Baku is a very walkable city, plus the driving situation here is pretty terrible, but if you were to bring a car I would say bring a Sedan. Alleyways, streets, and parking garages are very small compared to the U.S. If you have an all electric vehicle I highly recommend you do not bring it. there aren't any charging stations any where in the city and if you live in an apartment complex there is 100% chance that there will not be a charging station or dock, nor will they install one for you. - Aug 2023
Any vehicle will work. EVs are not recommended. DO NOT BRING A DIESEL ENGINE. Toyotas, Mitsubishi, and Mercedes are all over the place, so shouldn't have a hard time finding service for those. - Aug 2023
SUV would be fine - good for regional travel. Really anything is good as even for smaller/lower cars the roads in Baku are fine. - Jun 2023
