Lulu Mall Owner And His Fleet Of Super Expensive Cars: Rolls Royce Cullinan To Bentley Bentayga
Lulu Group is now one of the most known multinational conglomerates that operates a chain of hypermarkets and retail chains. Helmed by M. A. Yusuff Ali, the Group has had immense growth in recent times. Unsurprisingly, the chairman himself owns/ has owned a bunch of expensive cars and SUVs. We’ll now walk you through some of the interesting members of his garage.
Rolls-Royce Ghost
Rolls-Royce cars symbolize success and prosperity. Yusuff Ali has owned multiple Rolls-Royce cars and SUVs. He has owned a Black Rolls Royce Ghost sedan. It had the Government of Kerala logo on the number plate. Now you would ask why does a businessman carry this on his vehicle number plate? Well, Yusuff Ali has served as the Chairman of NORKA (Department of Non-Resident Keralites Affairs), and the emblem is a sign of this influential role. Many have spotted him riding in this car.
New-Gen Land Rover Range Rover Vogue
Range Rover Vogue could feel dated today, but was once a highly preferred choice among the wealthy. It symbolized success, power and high social status. Yusuff Ali used to own one in Pristine White. He in fact, owned two Range Rovers.
The other one is a previous-generation model with a Black exterior colourway. It gets a VIP number plate that reads 1, going vocal about the owner’s high social status. The vehicle had a strobe light mounted on its top and a Government of Kerala branding on the registration plate. We are not sure if these SUVs are still with him or have been sold off.
Bentley Bentayga W12
The Lulu Group Chairman was one of the early adopters of the Bentley Bentayga W12 in India- an extremely luxurious SUV with breathtaking performance. He owns it in White and has a VIP number plate that reads ‘1’.
Rolls Royce Cullinan
The Cullinan is another luxury SUV owned by M.A Yusuff Ali. We have seen the Rolls Royce SUV finding its place in celebrity and wealthy garages. The Lulu Chairman bought his Cullinan in a classy dual-tone shade, and was previously spotted driving it. He is said to own another Cullinan abroad as well.
Mini Countryman
Probably a humble car for him, Yusuff Ali has also owned a Mini Countryman wearing the registration plate KL 32 F1. This seems to be an older-generation model.
Mercedes-Maybach GLS
The GLS is the S Class of SUVs and the Maybach version takes the luxury quotient further up. Yusuff Ali owns one. It also has a VIP number plate and is known to be stationed at Trivandrum and used by the businessman whenever he is there. He has been spotted along with the luxury SUV on multiple occasions. He took delivery of this Maybach from Bridgeway Motors, an authorised dealer parter of Mercedes/Maybach cars in Kerala.
Lexus LX750
The LX750 costs more than 3 Crore Indian rupees. Yusuff Ali’s LX gets a VIP plate and does job as one of his favourite commuting choices in Kerala.
BMW 7-Series
He has also owned a BMW 7-Series luxury sedan. This vehicle is often employed for airport pickups of his esteemed guests. It is powered by a beastly 4.4-litre petrol V8 engine capable of producing 600 bhp!
Mercedes-Maybach S600
A luxury car collection is almost incomplete without a Maybach sedan and the Lulu managing director seems to know this well. He owns a Black Maybach S600 with the plate number KL7 CJ 3. The sedan is considered as the epitome of luxury by many.
NOTE:We have tried our best to keep this article up-to-date. However, sourcing information on which of these cars and SUVs are still with him was tough. That’s why you read so many ‘has owned’ instead of ‘owns’! In short, these are the vehicles we’ve seen him acquire and own, over the years.
He’s Got Taste In Aviation Too!
Yusuff Ali is one of the wealthiest entrepreneurs in India. He relies heavily on air travel. Even in Kerala, he often flies between destinations. He has owned a number of helicopters and private jets over the years. In fact, he was involved in an incident, when his AgustaWestland AW109SP performed a precautionary landing in Kochi, in April 2021. The billionaire entrepreneur remained safe, even though the copter was damaged heavily. He later sold it off and bought a brand new Airbus H145 that’s worth over 100 crore rupees.
He even owns a private jet- a Gulfstream G600 with an attractive livery. His previous business jet was a G550 which was listed for sale on an aircraft broking firm’s website, before the new one came in.
