1960 Mercedes-Benz 300SL
The first vehicle in the car collection of Justin Trudeau is the vintage 1960 Mercedes-Benz 300SL. It is one of the most iconic vintage cars in the world. Only a handful of popular celebrities own this model. It remained in production during the 1950s and 1960s. The roadster had a colossal 3.0-litre M198 straight six engine mated to a 4-speed manual gearbox. It is a 2-door coupe with gull-wing doors. The power and torque outputs are an impressive 240 hp and 294 Nm. It represents the fact that Justin is a car collector which is why he still owns this legendary model. There are also reports of him having the 1972 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE.

2009 Audi A6 Allroad Quattro
The 2009 Audi A6 Allroad Quattro is the next vehicle in the car collection of Justin Trudeau. The SUV remained in production from 2006 to 2011. It was the only SUV of its kind back in the day. It offered a spacious interior and cabin enhancing the practicality a lot. Under its hood is a 3.0-litre V6 turbo petrol engine which generates a decent 290 hp and 420 Nm of peak power and torque. The 6-speed automatic (Tiptronic) transmission sends power to all four wheels via the Quattro system. This allows a 0-100 km/h sprint in just 6.3 secs.

2008 Ford Escape Hybrid
The Canadian Prime Minister also has a 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid in his garage. This is again a vehicle with rudimentary eco-friendly intentions. However, the hybrid systems back then merely assisted the powertrains and didn’t have much impact on the emissions. Nonetheless, it is interesting to learn about what Justing was going for back in the day. The Escape Hybrid comes powered by a 2.3-litre 4-cylinder engine that generates a decent 155 hp and 206 Nm of peak power and torque. This engine was mated to a CVT automatic transmission sending power to all four wheels. It is among the most practical SUVs of the time. Note that former US President Barack Obama also has this SUV.

Official Cars
Interestingly, the Canadian Prime Minister doesn’t get massively bulletproof and explosion-proof vehicles like US, Russia or India. That is one thing that differentiates their official cars from other countries. Moreover, there is not even one dedicated car for the Prime Minister. There is a convoy of a few of vehicles. Prime Minister’s Protection Detail (PMPD) is responsible for choosing the right car. This division provides 24-hour security to the PM and his/her family.

As per various reports online, Justin Trudeau has cars from Cadillac, Buick and Chevrolet in his entourage. There are no models that are used more than the others. This is done to keep things casual and random. It is the decision of the PMPD to select the vehicle for the PM. Furthermore, they also decide when the vehicles need to be replaced based on operational efficiency and mileage. The outgoing model is used for training purposes and then destroyed. You won’t be able to get your hands on a used PM car. These are all the personal and professional vehicles in the car collection of Justin Trudeau.
Fun fact: the only car Trudeau owns is a 1960 Mercedes 300SL that consumes 17L of gasoline per 100km (14 mpg). https://t.co/Uw8EWrNBG3
