Kenyans are used to seeing President Uhuru Kenyatta moving in the fabled Toyota Land Cruiser V8, which, thanks to him, has become the country's official presidential ride.
When he arrived in the United States for a bilateral meeting with President Donald Trump, lovers of machines were particularly keen to see the vehicle that would take him and First Lady Margaret Kenyatta to the White House.
The vehicle that shouldered that hallowed responsibility was a glossy-black Chevrolet Suburban, festooned with the Kenyan and American flags.
It is a Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) made by the Chevrolet Automobile Company, which is a division of General Motors.
The car goes for about five million Kenya shillings.
Like a quintessential American SUV, it boasts of an impressive fuel economy, a horsepower of 355, 8000-pound towing capability and a 5.3-litre V8 engine, features that boost its off-road capabilities
From a distance, one may not be able to differentiate it from the iconic Cadillac Escalade or the Yukon Denali XL as the design of their bodies bear a striking resemblance.
Chevrolet Suburban's spacious interior makes it ideal for large families as it can carry up to nine passengers.
