  • Ratan Tata believes in Tata cars and has always been a user of them

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.

The man who gave India the world's cheapest car still keeps one in his garage, right beside his Ferrari and Maserati. The famous vehicle was introduced in 2008 and revolutionized car ownership in the country.

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.

Among the most iconic cars made in the United States, the Cadillac XLR is an exquisite machine. Its presence in Ratan Tata's garage isn't a surprise given the businessman's penchant for mean machines.

Ferrari California

A reminder of Jaguar's historic Tata Motors era, the F-Type S will perhaps remain in his garage for his entire lifetime. The car is known for its 5.0-litre supercharged V8 engine and is convertible in nature.
