“If it’s Wednesday, you know it’s all about the three letters that follow each other on your keyboard, J-K-L, Taaaaaaaaaaaaanight (Tonight).” These words have been gracing your screens for years. The man himself, a legend, an icon, media mogul Geoffrey Mwaura Koinange, popularly known as Jeff Koinange, is an encyclopedia of how journalism has transformed from the days of using tapes to the modern era of live transmission. Having left his mark at CNN, Reuters, K24, KTN, and now at Royal Media, he is an inspiration to young and promising journalists. Ooh my! Wamai!
Jeff is one of the first owners of the highly revered Mercedes-Benz G-Class, and just to vindicate that, his G-Class is actually a left-hand drive, but now the rules have changed; you cannot import a left-hand drive car into the country. Before everybody discovered there is actually a good car called the G-Class, Koinange had it already in his garage. The aura of old money.

EXTERIOR
The G-Class is the best thing that ever happened to Mercedes-Benz. If you want a car that leaves a lasting impression, this is it. It has a boxy silhouette that exudes bubbles of sophistication embroiled in old-age ruggedness. The science behind this car looking old-school but still beating modern cars is a secret we need to unravel from the Germans. The sound coming off the exhaust is therapeutic.
The wide wheel arches housing 20-inch alloy wheels give it a muscular look and wide stance. The squared bonnet gives the driver excellent visibility, and the rear maintains the rugged and functional look.

The cabin is properly insulated, preventing outside noises from causing discomfort. Each occupant has generous legroom and headroom, and a premium sound system delivers an immersive audio quality for an enjoyable driving experience.

FINAL VERDICT
The Mercedes-Benz G-Class is largely seen as a status symbol owing to its prestige, grandeur, and sophistication. At face value, owning this car lands you a contract even before you get into the boardroom. This is Nairobi; you better know how people are climbing the ladder. For only 18 million Kenyan shillings, you get to own the 2020 Mercedes-Benz G-Class.
