Beyond the gridiron, Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has a secret passion – a love for luxury wheels. When he’s not orchestrating game-winning drives, he’s indulging in his prized car collection. With a fleet that boasts sleek designs, cutting-edge tech, and raw power, Tagovailoa’s automotive arsenal is a testament to his success and refined taste.

In this article, we’ll put the pedal to the metal and take a thrilling tour of Tua Tagovailoa’s car collection, showcasing the stunning vehicles that fuel his need for speed and style.

Brand New 2020 Cadillac Escalade

After going pro, Tua Tagovailoa bought his mother a brand-new 2020 Cadillac Escalade as his first car purchase 2½ weeks after being taken fifth in the 2020 NFL draft by the Dolphins. He purchased the Escalade as a last-minute Mother’s Day present. As Tagovailoa put it, “She always wanted a really nice and big family car, and so that’s why I got that car.”

In a social media post, he states, “I bought a car from my mom. It was a 2020 Escalade. I actually trusted my marketing guys to help me with that, and so literally, on Mother’s Day, I ended up calling my marketing team and asking them if they could help me get a car, and you know my mom.”

“I know you wanted something that would be able to carry everyone,” Tagovailoa said. “This is mine?” an emotional Diane Tagovailoa asked in response. “This is yours,” her son responded with a smile. “So you can go try your new ride out.”

The 2020 Escalade is unquestionably a high-end SUV that embodies the lifestyle of Hollywood (or Miami). The Escalade boasts a blazing pounding sound system, an 8.0-inch touchscreen navigation system, an all-leather interior, heated and ventilated seats, self-parking assistance, and a potent AWD 420-hp V-8 engine, among other five-star amenities. The Escalade’s starting price is approximately $80,000.

BMW I8 Super Sports Car

Tagovailoa bought an AWD Deluxe Ford Flex around the same time, quickly expanding his collection of automobiles once more. With plenty of space for seven passengers, the Ford Flex is a sizable SUV.

The Ford Flex’s interior cabin is lavishly furnished with features such as a 12-speaker Sony audio system, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto capability, and Ford’s Sync 3 touchscreen infotainment system. Yet, the BMW i8 is more environmentally friendly than the Ford Flex. With its 6-cylinder, 3.5 L engine, the Flex SUV only gets 16 city and 22 highway miles per gallon.

In an interview with GQ, when asked why he bought two cars so quickly, Tua Tagovailoa explained that after purchasing a car for his mom, he decided to treat himself as well. He opted for a Ford Flex and a BMW i8. Tua shared that the reason behind getting two cars was simple: when his parents or family members visit, they’d have a vehicle to use. With a chuckle, he added that he chose the BMW i8 because of its low profile—knowing that no one else in his family would want to drive it. He further said, “But the BMW I got because, I knew, no one else can get down that low in the car. And so I knew no one else would want to drive the BMW.”

Tua Tagovailoa’s car collection reflects his success both on and off the field. From luxury SUVs to sleek sports cars, each vehicle showcases his refined taste and love for cutting-edge design. As he continues to make headlines in the NFL, his passion for high-end cars adds another layer to his dynamic persona.
