Ratan Tata's Preferred Cars For Commute Over The Years

Ratan Tata is one of the most influential people in modern India and has always been a favourite of the masses owing to his humble demeanour and his staunch business practices. One would imagine a man of his stature to ride on royal wheels all the time but while that's true sometimes, other times, he can be seen driving around in modest vehicles as well. Here's a look at his preferred cars for his commute over the years.

Car aficionados always have a special place in their hearts for muscle cars and the same applies to Ratan Tata who had purchased a 1978 Buick Skylark back in the day. Unfortunately, he sold the old school beast recently for unmentioned reasons.

Ratan Tata has often been spotted driving his white Honda Civic. One might be surprised since that's a competitor's car, but the fact that Tata didn't have a proper sedan in its lineup for the longest of time does explain things a bit.
