Many political figures in Kenya prefer the best vehicles available, as an expensive car often reflects the owner’s wealth and social standing.
The most costly automobiles in Kenya are typically owned by wealthy politicians and businesspeople who run or own multimillion-dollar enterprises.

Here are some of William Ruto favourite vehicles that he is seen driving from time to time.
Toyota Lexus LX570
President Ruto has been spotted with this scary off-roader from the Toyota factory in Japan in a number of different variants.
This car may be said to be his favorite, and the reason for that might be pretty obvious—it is a vehicle that can be described as luxury on wheels.
The Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) driven by the President is visually intimidating and has a front grille that seems ready to devour anything in its path.
Mercedes Benz S500
One of Germany’s most known engineering achievements, this sleek beast has various top-secret security elements in Ruto’s design.
Toyota Land Cruiser 200 series
Ruto has also been seen while driving the generally known Toyota v8 on numerous occasions.
An enviable off-road prowess comes from its 4.5-liter V8 engine, which weights an estimated 2.7 tons. V8 models are anticipated to cost around KSh 14 million.
Apart from the cars above, William Ruto has other expensive cars in his garage.

The vehicle has a 3.5-liter gasoline V6 twin-turbo engine or a 3.3-liter diesel engine. In addition, a 10-speed direct-shift automatic transmission is used with the engine.
