Bollywood celebrities are well known for their affection for cars from premium European brands like Mercedes-Benz, Audi, BMW, Jaguar Land Rover, Lamborghini and Ferrari. However, there is a section of celebrities who are happily contended with mainstream SUVs from mass-market carmakers, which are usually driven by the upper middle class of India too. Following are the celebrities who own some of the humble SUVs for themselves:
