Luxury Inside
The Toyota Land Cruiser was the last car that our PM used before splurging on the infamous S650 Guard. This massive SUV costs over 2 crores and has the road presence of a truck. The car comes with all the lux.ry amenities that Mr. Modi might need on a daily basis and a few extras even.
Toyota does not sell automobiles with high-security editions. So, this one was undoubtedly customised by a third-party firm. The Toyota Land Cruiser is powered by a 4.5-litre V8 engine that produces 262 Bhp and 650 Nm of peak torque. The extra weight required to make it bulletproof and add other security features necessitates a car with a very strong engine and the engine under this hood performs admirably.

Luxury Inside
The Mercedes-Maybach S650 Guard is the newest vehicle in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's convoy. This is a step up from his previous vehicles, which were a Range Rover Vogue and a Toyota Land Cruiser. Earlier this month, he was first seen in the new Maybach S650 Guard at Hyderabad House, where he visited Russian President Vladimir Putin. The facelifted version of the Mercedes-Maybach S650 Guard, which was globally revealed in 2019, has been added to the PM's fleet of luxury bullet-proof saloons.
While this sedan was not officially released in India, Mercedes- Benz did do so in 2016 with the Maybach S600 Guard, which retailed for Rs 10.50 crore ex-showroom. So it is fair to assume that this S650 comes in at over 12 crores. This car is really class apart in terms of features but also gets enough power to make it glide on the road, so it is an all round package.
