Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga's brand new Toyota Land Cruiser 300 stole the limelight at his rallies in Mathare and Ruaraka constituencies on Wednesday, October 12.
At the rally, the Azimio la Umoja party leader and allies tore into President William Ruto's administration, accusing it of failing to honour its pledges.
Raila's vehicle, nonetheless, elicited reactions from a section of Kenyans online who marvelled at the sight of the new model.
During the launch of the LC 300 series in December 2021, Toyota Kenya hailed the vehicle as a redesign from its predecessor, the LC200 series.
According to Toyota Kenya, the model retails at an average of Ksh23.1 million.
"The 300 series is a redesign from the 200 series with an incredible off-road ability that remains the ‘The Master of Africa’.
"Its introduction is part of Toyota Kenya’s celebration of the 70th anniversary of the Land Cruiser models globally," read part of the statement from Toyota Kenya.
Features
The car boasts a 3.3-litre Diesel or 3.5-liter Petrol V6 twin-turbo engine. The engine also uses a direct shift 10-speed automatic transmission.
These changes offer more effective power, hence resulting in less fatigue when behind the wheel.
Aside from power, the V6 engine reduces carbon emissions by ten per cent.
The frame redesign further increases the rigidity of the suspension and subsequently reduces the overall weight. This allows for a one-of-a-kind driving experience.
In addition, the machine comes with a multi-Terrain monitor, which helps display obstacles that block a driver's point of view.
