The heads of nations often travel in high-end secure vehicles, which are normally based on regular luxury cars
In this post, we take a look at the specifics of the cars of the Indian PM Narendra Modi and the Pakistani PM Shehbaz Sharif. These nations have been on the brink of war after the recent border tensions. India retaliated in response to the terrorist attack in Kashmir last month with Operation Sindoor. Surprisingly, Pakistan struck back and we saw hundreds of Pakistani drones being intercepted by the Indian defence system. Currently, there has been a ceasefire. In any case, let us take a look at the details of the cars of both PMs.

Cars of PM Narendra Modi
Tata Safari Armoured
The first SUV used by Prime Minister Narendra Modi was the Tata Safari. It was a popular and tough vehicle, known for handling rough roads and adventure trips. Modi’s version was not the standard model. It was bulletproof, upgraded from the earlier Scorpio. The SUV had strong windows that could resist bullets and a better overall build. It also had run-flat tires that worked even after being punctured. This custom-built Safari costs around Rs 60 lakh.
Toyota Land Cruiser Armoured
The Toyota Land Cruiser has long been a top choice for many politicians across the world. Prime Minister Narendra Modi also uses a Land Cruiser as part of his vehicle fleet. His version is heavily modified with bulletproof and bombproof features for maximum safety. Even the regular model is known for its comfort and reliability, making it popular with celebrities. Modi’s version includes extra security upgrades not found in the standard SUV. This special Land Cruiser costs over Rs 6 crore, while the regular model is priced around Rs 1.50 crore.
BMW 7 Series Armoured
Another high-end car in Prime Minister Modi’s collection is the BMW 760Li. This model was chosen by the Special Protection Group (SPG) for his security. The 7 Series is already BMW’s top luxury car, but this version is built for top officials. It includes bulletproof glass, protection under the car, and a special fuel tank that won’t catch fire or leak. The car also has run-flat tires that can keep going for about 50 km at 60 km/h even after being shot. For extra safety, it carries an oxygen supply in case of chemical threats. Two of these cars are used in the Prime Minister’s convoy. Each one costs over Rs 9 crore.
Range Rover Sentinel
The Prime Minister’s convoy also includes a special Range Rover called the Sentinel. This SUV is often seen during PM Modi’s travels. It performs well on both city roads and rough terrain. The vehicle is built with high-level security in mind. Its windows are so thick they can’t be opened, except for a small gap on the driver’s side. It also has emergency escape options and can release a smoke screen if needed. The exact safety features are not shared publicly for security reasons. The price of this SUV is estimated between Rs 12 crore and Rs 15 crore.
Mercedes-Maybach 650S
The main car used by Prime Minister Modi is the Mercedes Maybach S650 Pullman Guard. This luxury sedan is made by a German carmaker for world leaders and high-profile individuals. It is designed with strong security features to protect the PM during attacks, including gunfire and blasts. The car also has systems to keep people inside safe during a chemical attack. It can keep moving even if the tires go flat. This vehicle leads the PM’s convoy and is built with special technology for maximum safety. Its cost is more than Rs 12 crore.
Cars of PM Shehbaz Sharif
Now, there are not that many visuals of the Pakistani PM Shehbaz Sharif with his vehicles. Still, this video from CarEX captures the visuals of some instances of these cars. Just like with many global nation heads, PM Shehbaz Sharif uses luxury and secure vehicles to travel around. The likes of the Toyota Land Cruiser is a prime example of that. In fact, you will see this SUV in the garage of many top politicians across the globe. Apart from that, cars like the Mercedes Maybach are often designed for top personalities who want the utmost safety and security. It can offer incredible customization options. These are the vehicles in the garages of the Indian and Pakistani PM.
