The most popular car for world leaders is the BMW 7 Series, which featured 17 times of the 299 cars included.

Not far behind was Truss’s choice, the Audi A8, chosen 15 times, while in third place was the Mercedes S-Class.

But when it comes the favoured car brand, it’s Mercedes that takes the top spot.

Some 67 world leaders of the 299 have chosen some sort of Mercedes to be whisked around in.

Jaguar Land Rover placed fifth, with its Range Rover finding 14 stately homes around the world.

Broken down into types of leader, a Mercedes was the favoured vehicle for both Presidents and Prime Ministers around the world.
