One of the many things that Bollywood stars are known for is regularly refreshing their car collections. 2020 was a difficult year for everyone so there was not much activity on that front. However, 2021 saw these artists getting back into the groove and completing their unfinished projects. And this also apparently gave them enough time to add some new rides into their garages. Here are five Bollywood stars that made noticeable car purchases in 2021.

After Ranbir Kapoor, it's Sara Ali Khan who has shown love for this unconventional Mercedes car. The G-Wagon is known for its unique boxy shape, which it gets because it has been derived from a military vehicle. The G350D model purchased by Sara may have cost her somewhere around Rs 1.3 crores. This retro-looking SUV comes with a 9-speed automatic gearbox and an engine that delivers 285 Ps and 600 Nm of peak torque.

The Urus is Lamborghini's first SUV in decades and has been well received in India, especially among Bollywood stars. While cricketer Rohit Sharma is also known to own one, Bollywood biggies like Ranveer Singh, Rajnikanth as well as Rohit Shetty, have the Urus in their respective garages. And it's now Kartik Aaryan's turn to drive this Italian mean machine on the streets of Mumbai.

Hyderabad's Jubilee Hills area is no stranger to Lamborghinis and 2021 saw one more being added to the fleet, even as Baahubali star Prabhas got hold of a new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster.

The BMW X7 M50d is a full-sized crossover SUV with a host of luxury and safety features. The car, which was previously also purchased by Ajay Devgn, was added to the already diverse garage of Kabir Singh star Shahid Kapoor in 2021.
