Car Collection of Shubman Gill
Toyota Innova Crysta
Let us commence with the vehicles that Shubman Gill owns. Firstly, he possesses a Toyota Innova Crysta. It is one of the most successful MPVs in the country. It finds application among private, as well as commercial buyers. It carries a 2.4-litre 4-cylinder turbo diesel engine, which generates a decent 150 PS and 343 Nm of peak power and torque, respectively. This mill pairs with a 5-speed manual transmission. Its prime focus is on the utmost comfort and convenience of the occupants.
Mercedes-Benz GLS 350d
Then there is the Mercedes-Benz GLS 350d in the garage of the young cricketer. It is a prominent luxury SUV, which a lot of celebrities own. Under its hood, you will find a 3.0-litre 6-cylinder diesel engine producing 286 hp and 600 Nm of peak power and torque, respectively. With an automatic transmission, the acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h comes up in just 6.4 seconds.
Mercedes Maybach GLS600
The car collection of Shubman Gill even contains a Mercedes Maybach GLS600. It is one of the most popular opulent SUVs among Indian celebs in recent times. It draws power from a potent 4.0-litre Biturbo V8 engine with a 48-volt electrical system backed by the EQ setup to generate 557 hp of power and 730 Nm of torque. This engine pairs with a 9-speed automatic gearbox that sends power to all four wheels using Mercedes’ 4MATIC system.
Mercedes-Benz AMG G63
Finally, there is also the iconic G-Wagon in the garage of Shubman Gill. Regardless of where you go in the world, the G-Wagon is a legendary automobile which finds a home in the garages of elite personalities. Under its tall and butch hood, you will find a potent 4.0-litre V8 turbo petrol mill with 48-volt mild hybrid tech, which generates a mad 585 hp and 850 Nm of peak power and torque, respectively. The 9-speed automatic gearbox powers all four wheels via Merc’s trademark 4MATIC technology. These are the vehicles Shubman owns.
Car Collection of Virat Kohli
Now, let us dive into the details of the cars Virat Kohli owns. He loves to splurge on ostentatious automobiles. However, it is quite difficult to ascertain the exact number of cars he currently has. Also, being the brand ambassador of Audi India, he used to own loads of models from the German car marque. Nevertheless, in his recent interviews, he mentioned that after getting married and having a child, his priorities have changed. While earlier he used to look for sports and fast cars, he is currently interested in comfortable and practical vehicles. We see this getting reflected in the choice of his latest cars.
Undoubtedly, the biggest change towards this mindset is his decision to buy a Kia Carnival Limousine. It has to be among the most comfortable luxury MPVs out there. Under its hood, there is a 2.2-litre 4-cylinder turbo diesel mill which generates a healthy 142 kW (190 hp) and 441 Nm of peak power and torque, respectively. This engine pairs with an 8-speed automatic gearbox.
Apart from that, he still uses the Audi e-tron 55. It is a sporty electric car, which focuses on hard acceleration and new tech. The EV carries a 95 kWh Li-ion battery pack that powers two Asynchronous electric motors (one on each axle) for an all-wheel-drive configuration. The power and torque outputs stand at 402 hp and 664 Nm, respectively. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes 5.7 seconds and the German auto giant claims a range of 484 km on a single charge. The other EV he owns is the BMW iX. It has a 111.5 kWh battery pack to power two electric motors for a total output of 523 hp and 765 Nm of maximum power and torque, respectively. The acceleration from 0 to 100 comes up in just 4.6 seconds. The other luxury cars in his garage include a Land Rover Defender, a Range Rover Autobiography and a relatively older Mercedes-Benz GLS 450 4MATIC.
