Bollywood Celebrities and the Car Brands they Endorse

All of us consider different aspects while buying a car for ourselves. Some of us might consider the power & specs while some of us consider the features. Still, there are people who are attracted to a car just because their favourite celebrity endorses it! In today’s article, we will take you down the memory lane and will tell you about some of the most successful car campaigns that Bollywood celebs have done. Here is a list of Bollywood celebrities car endorsements!

1. Shah Rukh Khan for Hyundai
   

   

   SRK has been the only brand ambassador for Hyundai from the very first day. Be it Santro, i10 or Creta, Shah Rukh Khan has appeared in the promos for all the Hyundai cars. You can also spot him on the car launch events with all the board members quite often. He was recently spotted at the Auto Expo 2020 where he unveiled and launched the 2020 Hyundai Creta! What’s more? We were there covering it exclusively for you! Have a look at Shah Rukh Khan at 2020 Hyundai Creta’s launch.

2. Ranveer Singh – Maruti Suzuki Ciaz
   

   

   Maruti Suzuki Ciaz has got Ranveer Singh as its brand ambassador since the first generation was launched. Maruti Suzuki even gifted him one back in 2016. You can see Ranveer suited up in Nexa blue shade which goes hand in hand with the shade of the Ciaz shown in the advertisement. Although Ranveer has got some really expensive cars inside his garage, when it comes to advertisement, he chose the most loved budget brand in India – Maruti Suzuki.

   Some of you might find this unfamiliar. But it’s true! Aamir Khan was the one to endorse the Toyota Innova which has been leading the MPV segment in India ever since it was launched!

4. R. Madhavan – Maruti Suzuki WagonR
   

   

   No, we aren’t talking about the latest generation here. Maruti Suzuki marketed the WagonR as “The Blue-Eyed Boy” and guess who endorsed it? It was our favourite R. Madhavan. He, along with Raghu Ram and Rajiv Laxman (Roadies fame) appeared in WagonR’s advertisements. This was among the best Bollywood celebrities car endorsements ever made!

5. Varun Dhawan – Maruti Suzuki Ertiga & Mahindra KUV100
   

   

   Here’s Varun Dhawan endorsing the latest-gen Maruti Suzuki Ertiga! He has been doing quite well in Bollywood and has done a couple of car endorsements by now. We had also seen him in Mahindra’s KUV100’s ad earlier as well. Mahindra wanted to target the young audience with the KUV100 and we guess, Varun was the perfect pick to be the ambassador! Below is Varun on KUV100’s official cover!

   

6. Ranbir Kapoor – Nissan & Renault
   

   

   Talking about targeting the young generation? Ranbir Kapoor is another superstar that rules the hearts of the young. Therefore, Nissan chose him as the brand ambassador for Micra. Later on, considering the dropping sales Nissan decided to discontinue the Micra. Also, Renault and Nissan had an alliance so they shared the brand ambassador as well. Ranbir was later on seen endorsing the Renault Kwid, Duster and other siblings from the same family.
