While the family is known – in part – for a fleet of impressive supercars, the billionaire son-in-law of Mukesh Ambani drives a surprisingly pedestrian car: the Toyota sedan.
Anand Piramal was seen arriving at Antilla, the Ambani family’s home, in a silver Toyota Camry hybrid sedan.
He was also seen riding shotgun, while most of the Ambani family tend to sit in the rear seat.

Mukesh Ambani and his family’s fleet of cars
With two Ferrari Purosangue SUVs, nine Rolls-Royce Cullinan, and a Ferrari SF90 Stradale, the Ambani garage has plenty of impressive cars.
And, as the family grows, with Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant getting married this weekend, members are frequently seen escorted by a nine-SUV convoy.
However, Isha Ambani’s husband, Anand Piramal, was seen arriving at the Antilla residence for a dinner party in a very different vehicle.
The surprisingly humble car
The car in question is a Toyota Camry sedan.
Sure, the luxury sedan is far from an old banger, but it’s pretty humble when you’re a family that gets Rihanna to perform at a pre-wedding bash.
This video of him vacating the car was shared on Instagram by Varinder Chawla.
Piramal vacates the front passenger dressed casually in slippers – which is again surprising for a chauffeur-driven dynasty who prefers back-seat travel.
However, he was surrounded by a number of other security cars, including Mahindra XUV500s, MG Glosters, and Land Rover Discoverys.
And he’s clearly a fan of the model – as he was previously captured in a black version.
This car in particular is a previous-generation model.
The Toyota Camry is one of the most luxurious Japanese cars on the market and is priced at over $55,000.
Boasting a 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, its motor produces 175 bhp plus 221 Nm of torque.
This engine is mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT).

All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
