If there is one vehicle that has always remained a top favorite among Bollywood personalities, it has to be the evergreen Mercedes-Benz G-Class, popularly known as G-Wagen. The old-school luxury off-roader has found its home in various Bollywood celebrity garages in the past, including those of Ranbir Kapoor and Jimmy Shergill. However, in the past two years, a few other Bollywood celebrities have added the Mercedes-Benz G-Class to their car collections with the arrival of its all-new version in the Indian car market.

The details of the new Bollywood celebrities who have recently added the Mercedes-Benz G-Class are shown in a YouTube video by “Cars For You”.
