The famous black Lexus LX 570 was President Ruto's signature car, which he mostly used to travel across the country, especially during his campaigns. It is obvious that the car is of high quality because it is designed to travel over rough terrain.
According to sources close to this publication, the black Lexus with registration plate KCU 192H costs between Ksh20 million and Ksh27 million, depending on the year of manufacture.
Features of the Lexus LX 570
1. Ruto's Lexus, unlike any other SUV on the market, has powerful suspensions to support the tyres.
2. The vehicle is outfitted with a powerful infotainment system that kept Ruto informed of what was going on in various parts of the country, even during campaign tours.
3. It also has a sunroof, that allowed Ruto to interact with and address his supporters during his campaigns.
