Singer Mika Singh has added another high-end vehicle to his impressive car collection. The singer has reportedly purchased a luxury SUV worth around Rs 5 crore, with his nephew Gurdeep Mehndi sharing pictures and videos from the new car’s delivery. The vehicle is a rare sight on Indian roads, making Mika’s latest acquisition particularly noteworthy among his already impressive collection of luxury and performance cars.
Mika Singh buys a luxury SUV reportedly worth Rs 5 crore
Mika Singh has seemingly added another prized possession to his garage. His nephew Gurdeep Mehndi, son of legendary singer Daler Mehndi, took to Instagram to share pictures and videos of Mika taking delivery of his latest luxury car.According to an NDTV report, the imported SUV has an on-road value of around Rs 5 crore, including import duties and registration-related costs. The exact variant purchased by Mika has not been officially confirmed.The vehicle is a Cadillac Escalade, one of the most recognisable full-size luxury SUVs internationally. Since Cadillac does not officially retail its vehicles in India, the Escalade remains an uncommon sight on Indian roads, with examples generally entering the country through private imports.
Mika Singh’s new Cadillac Escalade is a rare sight in India
The latest-generation Cadillac Escalade is known for its imposing dimensions, premium cabin and extensive list of luxury features. Its rarity in India adds to the attention surrounding Mika’s latest purchase. The SUV is understood to be from the latest Escalade generation currently sold in international markets. However, since the specific version acquired by Mika has not been officially confirmed, its exact specifications may vary.Globally, the latest Escalade is typically offered with a 6.2-litre naturally aspirated V8 petrol engine that produces around 420 hp and 624 Nm of torque. The engine is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, while rear-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive configurations are available depending on the market.
From a massive OLED display to massaging seats, the SUV is packed with features
The Cadillac Escalade sits firmly in the ultra-luxury SUV category and is known for its technology-heavy cabin. One of its most distinctive features is the massive curved OLED display that stretches across the dashboard.The SUV also offers premium leather upholstery, multi-zone climate control, massaging seats, advanced driver-assistance systems and a high-end audio system. Its spacious cabin and imposing road presence have helped establish the Escalade as a prominent luxury SUV in international markets.For an Indian buyer, however, importing such a vehicle can substantially increase its final cost because of customs duties, taxes, registration and other associated expenses.
Mika Singh already owns an impressive collection of luxury cars
The new purchase adds to an already extensive garage. Mika Singh is known to own a range of luxury and performance vehicles, including a heavily customised Hummer H2, a Range Rover Autobiography Limo, a Porsche Panamera, a Lamborghini Gallardo and a Ford Mustang. His collection also reportedly includes several Mercedes-Benz luxury SUVs and a Toyota Land Cruiser, reflecting his preference for both high-performance cars and premium SUVs.The addition of the Escalade further expands the singer’s collection with one of the most distinctive American luxury SUVs available internationally.
Why the luxury SUV remains rare on Indian roads
Large American SUVs such as the Cadillac Escalade are not commonly seen in India. Their enormous dimensions, high fuel consumption and the significant costs involved in importing them make them considerably less accessible than luxury SUVs officially sold in the country. Cadillac’s absence from the Indian market also means that buyers who want an Escalade generally have to rely on private imports. As a result, each such vehicle tends to attract attention when it appears on Indian roads.
Mika Singh’s work slate
On the work front, Mika Singh was last seen in Akshay Kumar led and Ahmed Khan directed ‘Welcome to the Jungle’ alongside an ensemble cast featuring Arshad Warsi, Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal, Raveena Tandon, Disha Patani, Johny Lever, Rajpal Yadav among others.
