If I'm not wrong, I'm guessing it's the Force One SUV

Quite a disaster from the day it was launched.

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
I actually really like the Daewoo Matiz. Didn't like it's Chevy rebranded version, 'the spark'.

Before the fluidic design language, Hyundai was not particularly known for it's design. They launched verna, which was a decent product with neutral looks. Somehow they managed to make it worse and worse with each update. I think the below version is the last version before the fluidic verna was launched.

re: Ugliest Cars in Indian automotive history

It's funny the car that once received the most beautiful car design award in Uk and Italy is now an ugly car, how time flies. Matiz was designed by Italdesign, it distinctly was not Korean in its looks.

re: Ugliest Cars in Indian automotive history

All of the DC cars and kits are eliguble for this thread. Apart from them,

Nissan Xtrail
I absolutely hate that face. And yeah those vanilla alloys too.

Chevrolet Sail Uva
Ugly,boring inside and out, and cheap buil. The car felt cheap and boring from day 1. I'll even go on and say Chevy's downfall started right after the launch of this car.

The ugliest car record, for the car that was also in our stable long back, should hands- down be Standard Gazel.

re: Ugliest Cars in Indian automotive history

Agree with some choices here (Dolphin City, A-Star, HM Trekker & Veer, Quanto, Novosport, 2020 Creta), Some notable cars still missing from this list:

Fiat UNO (with the ugly F.I.R.E. decals on the side)
Ugliest Cars in Indian automotive history-fiat-uno-brochure-india-2000-en.jpg

Ford Escort: Some liked it. I found it downright ugly compared to its' competitors (Opel Astra, Mitsubishi Lancer and Daewoo Cielo)

How do you make a Palio ugly? Turn it into a Siena!

Another curvy car with an unsightly boot - the Opel Corsa!

An Indica with an ugly boot, stretched into a LWB. Yes, a thing called Indigo XL did exist!

re: Ugliest Cars in Indian automotive history

I would not say this is the ugliest car on sale today but it certainly is one of the ugliest cars in the sub 4m CSUV segment, without a doubt, when viewed from the side.

It just looks so incomplete, while I do understand they just modified the Tivoli to suit the segment but they could've atleast done something to not make it look like it's an incomplete car, like someone took a car with normal proportions, and then just chopped it in the back with a hacksaw.

It is especially more painful to watch considering, excluding the looks ( specifically the side profile ), this is one of the best cars in the segment. Powerful diesel and petrol engines and a feature loaded interior. Even the whole of the car doesn't look that bad because from the front, it looks so wide and mean, probably the meanest looking car in the segment, but it fails oh so miserably when it comes to the side view.

re: Ugliest Cars in Indian automotive history

I think Mahindra Electric car is super ugly. Why could they not make it b it desirable.

Mahindra Bolero is again ugly. Maruti Wagon - R ugliest of them all.

Yes. And I think its predecessor REVA should get special mention here.

The Wagon R Stingray was such an eyesore.

re: Ugliest Cars in Indian automotive history

In my 17 years of TBHP membership, never did I imagine that I would be witness to such a discussion! I mean, come on guys - we are a community of car lovers, remember? Each and every one of us is a member of this forum because we "Love cars, Live cars", and there is no love without respect. With this underlying philosophy, does it make any sense at all to badge a particular car as "ugly" and other derogatory adjectives? Of course there are designs which are less pleasing to the eye than others but it is absolutely unfair to ridicule a particular car/design just because YOU do not happen to like it! Apologies for the rant but I simply could not stand any car being called "ugly", however quirky the design might be. Requesting moderators to step in and close this thread, please!

On a related note - no offence to anyone, but of late I have started to see threads which appear to have been spawned just for the sake of it! Let us maintain the sanctity of this forum and not let it downgrade to one of the countless low-quality ones on the internet.
