Toyota Land Cruiser

The all-black Toyota Land Cruiser was Muthappa’s favourite SUV and he used it the most. It was modified heavily with aftermarket accessories like a bullbar and a few auxiliary lamps. Muthappa even had aftermarket alloy wheels on the SUV. It was an all-black SUV with jet-black windows. A very don-like get-up, to be honest.

Land Rover Range Rover

Range Rover is loved by people from different segments of society. Muthappa also owns one in white colour. This old-generation Range Rover has a massive presence on the roads and even the richest celebrities and businessmen of the country prefer to travel in a Range Rover.

Mercedes-Benz S-Class

The S-Class is one of the most luxurious sedans that you can buy. It is known for its comfort and class, which is why it is the favourite of numerous celebrities around the world. Like the Land Cruiser, the S-Class was also covered in an all-black shade.

Mercedes-Benz SLK

He was into sportscars too. Muthappa owned a beautiful 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLK Coupe. The car itself was a style statement for many. There are only a few of them in India. It sure was considered one of the most stylish cars of its time.

Polaris Sportsman

The ATV culture in India is still at its novice stages. Muthappa owned one, probably to move around his farmhouse. But owning an ATV in India is indicative enough to say that you are a car enthusiast.

Audi Q5

The Audi Q5 is a quite popular SUV in the premium segment market. It is quite popular in metropolitan cities and many businessmen to entrepreneurs own this model. The Audi Q5 offers a good amount of space and a comfortable ride. It also holds a list of modern equipment in its brochure.

Toyota Fortuner

Land Cruiser’s younger sibling – Fortuner is an evergreen car in India. Even the high prices are not stopping the sales momentum of this SUV. Muthappa owned a white-coloured older-generation Fortuner, which became part of many rallies in Karnataka.
