What car does King Charles use?

The King is known to be a fan of Aston Martins, having been gifted a classic 1970 Aston Martin DB6 on his 21st birthday more than 50 years ago. While the car was always fit for a King, it went through a massive transformation to suit the King's environmental aims.



King Charles III utilizes a variety of vehicles for official duties and personal use, but his most iconic and state-specific cars are the Bentley State Limousines. There are two of these bespoke vehicles, created for the late Queen Elizabeth II's Golden Jubilee in 2002; they are armored, feature a higher roofline for visibility, and are powered by a 6.75-liter V8 engine. For more routine official engagements, the King often uses a fleet of Range Rovers and Jaguar I-Pace electric vehicles, reflecting his long-standing commitment to environmental sustainability. On a personal level, King Charles is famously attached to his 1970 Aston Martin DB6 Volante, which he has owned since his 21st birthday. In a notable eco-friendly move, he had the car converted to run on a surplus of English white wine and whey from the cheesemaking process (bioethanol). This "wine-powered" Aston Martin was even used by Prince William and Catherine on their wedding day. For state processions, the King also uses the Gold State Coach, though its use is reserved for the most formal ceremonies like the Coronation due to its immense weight and lack of modern suspension.
