It's not just the derriere that's wrong with the Dzire though, isn't it? The profile itself is a toss.. From a beautiful hatch to this abomination.

Speaking of bad profiles, Tata Manza is one more qualifier.

Not a car but definitely ugly!

P.S. If making ugly cars was an art than our lord Dilip Chhabria would be the Picasso of it.

I am surprised no one's mentioned Mahindra Verito Vibe yet! Verito had decent proportions, if not great looks. And Vibe? I seriously have no words.



Few more worthy contenders from my side.

HYUNDAI VERNA 2ND GEN



HYUNDAI ELANTRA 1ST GEN



MARUTI SUZUKI A-STAR

Very polarising thread this, I'm sure. I feel , though, that a truly ugly car should have nothing redeeming in its looks, and the facelifted quanto is the only one that comes to mind. I don't think those looks grew on anyone here on the forum. Did they? Please identify yourself....

Even the Zen classic which was horrible from any angle where the front was visible, had the profile and the back from the old Jelly Bean. Or the sonata, which definitely looked fine in its time. I saw the Rio too somewhere. It was small and quirky, but still well proportioned.

Everytime I see a picture of Vellfire from front, my mind makes me believe thats its an optical illusion, like something is wrong with the face and then I realise that it isn't. As Chandler from friends said " It's like somebody literally wrote down my worst nightmare and charged me $32 to see it"

I actually really liked the Sonata. My uncle owned one back then and I used to be envious (in a good way) about it as a kid.

I thought the Estilo was cute, especially in some colours. I think attaching the "Zen" name to it made it flop.


I loved the Ritz as well. Something about it said "I'm different, and not in a ugly way".

Hahaha, I love your meme.

I truly felt the same way about it, and yes it does look like a bloated Alto in pictures. Once I saw it in person on the showroom floor, and without the chrome "teeth", it truly looks decent and is a fabulous "next-step" upgrade from the the really tiny Alto.

I actually love this design! Something about it says it's going to become a classic down the line.

Ohh, I forgot to add my contribution. I hated this car everytime I looked at it. The back was hideous. Glad it's dead.
Hyundai Eon

1st Gen Hyundai Santro, 1st Gen Dzire, Tata Indigo and Manza, Premier Rio, Mahindra KUV 100, Mahindra Quanto, The dolphin Honda City, Tigor (hate the rear) last but not the least who can forget the Amby Porter also known as HM Veer

If only current production models are considered, first place on the podium will be shared by KUV and S-presso.
Should fight well with historical ugly duds like the A-star, Estilo and Dzire and Quanto.

Most Ugly cars:

Daewoo Matiz and Maruti Wagon-R

This thread can be closed if Daewoo Matiz is not on there. I had to scroll two pages and to my shock it wasn't there. What is wrong with people...so I had to post it

From the current cars sold in India, the rear of the Ignis is not that good looking. Its a shame considering the fact that the front of the car looks pretty decent. It feels like a last minute job.

From the cars sold a few years back, I would say the A-Star and the rear of the Brio. It was really bad.

Well, as they say looks are subjective.
I absolutely love the matiz and find Ritz/ Ignis / Eon above average lookers.

Hyundai Sonata (used) was my first (used) car in the US Bought it for 8K in 2006 and sold for 3K in 2010 (Bought a new X5)

One new addition from my end to this thread, the front fascia of the Kia Sonet is pretty ugly to me. I had to go for a darker color to hide all the creases and curves all over its front and side profile. The rear looks better though.

However, Hyundai Eon takes the cake for being the ugliest car!

I wouldn't say ugly but Toyota definitely messed up with the Etios and Liva. They had the brand recall and the reputation just aesthetically the cars were nowhere near the competition.

Surprising because their other cars do look good, I still feel a good looking Toyota hatch can sell.

How come everyone has forgotten the Chinese imported ugly eyesore sold by Force motors as a modern SUV?! To be fair I've also forgotten it's name!
