The Studio Ghibli trend is taking over the internet, so why not bring its magic to Indian roads? Imagine Tata Motors, Maruti Suzuki, and Mahindra designing cars inspired by Ghibli’s whimsical worlds, where fantasy meets functionality to create vehicles that feel like they belong in a dream.
Here is a list of Ghibli-inspired cars by Indian automakers:
Inspired by My Neighbor Totoro, Tata’s Totoro EV would be a compact, eco-friendly hatchback with a rounded, friendly design. It could be based on the Tata Tiago EV, featuring nature-inspired interiors, plush seats resembling tree trunks, and a panoramic sunroof that mimics a forest canopy. A quiet, smooth ride would make it feel like floating through a dreamy countryside.
Drawing from Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea, this SUV would boast oceanic hues, wave-patterned LED lights, and waterproof interiors. A perfect real-world counterpart? The Maruti Suzuki Fronx, with its coupe-SUV styling, lightweight agility, and turbocharged performance—ideal for breezy coastal drives or rain-soaked city streets.
For adventurers who connect with Princess Mononoke’s rugged spirit, the Hyundai Creta Adventure Edition fits the bill. With a matte green exterior, all-terrain capabilities, and a nature-inspired cabin, it’s perfect for exploring the wild landscapes of India.
Inspired by Howl’s Moving Castle, this luxury SUV would adapt to different terrains like magic. The Mahindra XUV700, with its advanced ADAS, customizable interiors, and powerful drive modes, already brings a sense of transformation. Add retractable wood-finish panels and AI-driven mood lighting, and you’d have a true Ghibli-inspired masterpiece.
