You Won’t Believe What Happened When Selena Gomez Got Behind the Wheel

Selena Gomez’s car collection is as stylish and diverse as her career, ranging from practical hybrids to powerful luxury SUVs. Over the years, she has upgraded her rides, transitioning from her first-ever Ford Escape Hybrid to high-end models like the BMW X5 and Cadillac Escalade. 

However, owning luxury cars hasn’t always been smooth sailing for the pop star. From minor mishaps at gas stations to fender benders in Hollywood, her driving experiences have been just as eventful as her red carpet appearances. 

Selena, for now, does not have a big garage but with her recent engagement to partner Benny Blanco, we are hopeful to see some developments in her rides as well. 

4. 2017 Toyota Tacoma

Selena Gomez’s rugged Toyota Tacoma perfectly matches her bold and independent spirit. However, you might have a crush on the singer-actor but let us warn you that she is not the most skillful driver in Hollywood. 

In a moment that quickly made headlines, Gomez found herself caught in a whirlwind of flashing cameras as she left a store. Overwhelmed by the swarm of paparazzi, she struggled to keep her composure behind the wheel.

As tensions rose, a minor mishap unfolded. Her Tacoma clipped a fence, adding an unexpected twist to the already dramatic scene. Though shaken, the singer handled the situation with grace, proving once again that even in unexpected moments, she remains effortlessly authentic. 

A fun thing about the Toyota pickup is that we have mostly seen celebrities who do not care much for flashy cars owning a Tacoma. Actor Cristian Bale's garage is a prime example of that. 

3. 2013 BMW X5

Selena Gomez may have had impeccable taste in cars, but handling her sleek BMW X5 proved to be a different story. In 2013, the young pop star found herself in an amusing mishap at a gas station when she accidentally parked on the wrong side of the pump. 

Luckily, the ever-present paparazzi, often seen as a nuisance, turned out to be surprisingly helpful, assisting her in refueling. However, the challenges didn't stop there. Gomez, then 20, struggled with her dress getting stuck in the car door not once, but twice. While the moment was lighthearted, it highlighted the growing pains of transitioning from her modest Ford Escape to a luxury SUV worthy of her celebrity status.

A year later, in 2014, Gomez found herself in a more serious situation when she was involved in a minor accident in North Hollywood. While pulling out of a convenience store parking lot, the rear of her X5 collided with another vehicle. 

Though the damage was minimal and no police were involved, the pop star quickly turned to Twitter to vent her frustration, blaming aggressive paparazzi for the mishap. “Only I’d get into an accident because of men with cameras,” she wrote, adding a humorous jab at the Hollywood lifestyle. 

Despite the setback, Gomez managed the whole thing quite calmly, exchanging information with the other driver and even flashing a smile for the cameras afterward.

2. 2015 Chevrolet Suburban

Selena Gomez's Cadillac is a statement of elegance and power, often recognized as one of her first luxury rides. The Suburban’s clean lines and minimalist design give it a refined yet commanding presence, making it a head-turner on the road. The car blends sophistication with power, perfectly matching Selena’s effortless charm.

Selena was seen outside her Suburban several times and it’s easy to see why this luxury sedan might be one of her favorites. Whether she’s heading to a meeting or simply enjoying a drive, the Chevy gives a powerful and smooth ride.

The Suburban is one of the most common rides among Hollywood celebrities, whether it is the garage of timeless beauty Salma Hayek or our irreplaceable “Captain America” (wink) Chris Evans'. 

1. 2011 Cadillac Escalade

Selena Gomez was once spotted stepping out of this sleek black Escalade, likely waving to the paparazzi as flashes captured the moment. With its aggressive stance and bold presence, it demands attention from every angle.

Whether cruising through city streets or making a statement on the highway, this vehicle ensures its driver stands out effortlessly.

Special Mention: 2008 Ford Escape

Selena Gomez's first car was a Ford Escape Hybrid, a gift she received on her 16th birthday. But instead of hitting the road right away, the car sat unused for two years until she finally got her driver’s license. Once she did, it quickly became her favorite. 

However, her experience with the car wasn’t always smooth. One unforgettable moment came in January 2013 when she accidentally spilled gasoline all over herself, her car, and the parking lot while trying to refuel. The chaotic yet glamorous mishap turned into a legendary throwback moment, one that had fans both laughing and gasping at the potential danger.

Despite the mishap, Selena adored her Ford Escape Hybrid, calling it her favorite car she ever owned. 

She loved how easy it was to drive and the memories attached to it, but unfortunately, the good times came to an abrupt end when she totaled the vehicle in an accident. Thankfully, she was wearing her seatbelt and walked away safely, but the loss of her beloved Ford Escape still stung.
