One car you will not miss on almost every major Kenyan road is the Toyota Landcruiser, a reliable long-lasting sport utility vehicle (SUV).

Besides the luxury and style that comes with having a Toyota Landcruiser, Kenyans are fascinated by the car's four-wheel drive aspect, making it an excellent off-road vehicle.

According to Warranty Wise and Motor Biscuit, leading motoring blogs in the UK and the US respectively, the tough and thick exterior can withstand harsh conditions, making it suitable for off-road trips. Motorists have the option of choosing between tan or dark-colored leather seats.

On top of this, the SUV is reliable and durable and gives the customer value for their money. With good maintenance, the car can last for years if not decades.

Kenyans are also captivated by the powerful V8 engine. The engine gives this SUV enough power to go anywhere you need it to go.



It also comes with a great infotainment system; a nine-inch touch-screen, a 14-speaker system, a Satellite Radio, and a navigation program. 

The car is spacious, it can fit more than you can imagine. The three rows of seats allow you to carry up to 8 people for a road trip. The seats can also be folded to make room for luggage or equipment. You also have the option of strapping bicycles on top of the vehicle.

Karl Brauer, a car expert at ISeeCars, states that the Toyota Land Cruiser is supposed to last at least 25 years.

“The Toyota Land Cruiser is supposed to last at least 25 years. The SUV does not have much change, therefore, people do not see the need to buy the latest model,” Karl stated in a past blog.

Whether you are buying a used Land Cruiser or a new one, the vehicle will perform at maximum capacity with the right maintenance.

Although the manufacturer has discontinued the Toyota Land Cruiser in 2021, those looking for the same experience can get a used SUV or other models that resemble the Land Cruiser.
