Yesterday, Chief Justice Martha Koome made headlines as she stole the show with her Sh23 million Toyota Land Cruiser GR Sport during the Madaraka Day festival.
When Koome rode the fuel guzzler to Moi Stadium in Embu County for Madaraka Day celebrations, she exuded opulence and sophistication.
It was obvious that Koome had modified her vehicle because it featured the Chief Justice-specific license plate CJ 1.
President William Ruto and his deputies frequently travel in Land Cruiser V8s for official duties, but many Kenyans were surprised by CJ’s most recent upgrading given the country’s high cost of living at the moment.
The Land Cruiser 300 series, powered by 3.3-liter diesel and 3.5-liter gasoline V6 engines, was just introduced by Toyota Kenya.
The brand-new direct Shift-10AT (10-speed automatic transmission) is offered with both engine combinations. This provides more evenly distributed electricity, which makes driving less taxing.
As part of Toyota Kenya’s celebration of the 70th anniversary of the Land Cruiser models globally, the car was introduced in 2021.
The vehicle’s initial batch, which was released on December 2, 2021, was completely sold out in a week.
The 200 series was redesigned into the fantastic off-road capable 300 series.
The 300 series comes in three different iterations: GX-R, VX-R, and GR-S.
The version-specific body package on GR-S, CJ Koome’s new official vehicle, sets it apart from all the other Land Cruisers.
There are new side intakes that are more vertical, a reworked front bumper with “Toyota” writing and less chrome on the huge grille, unpainted plastic cladding on the lower half with a skid plate, and more.
Wheel articulation and the Electronic Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (E-KDSS) are some more elements of the vehicle.
It boasts black-painted accents (wheel arches, door handles, mirrors, and rocker mouldings) as well as 18-inch six-spoke aluminum wheels that are finished in Mud Grey.
Rear mudguards, an aluminum-style skid plate on the rear bumper, and GR Sport insignia are all present on the GR-S.
