9 Ugliest SUVs Ever Made

Taking the term “boxy” to a whole new level, the Honda Element was surprisingly popular when it debuted in 2003. Despite its cartoon-like design, the vehicle earned a reputation for being very practical.

If a sports car, minivan, and a truck combined all of their most distinctive traits, the end result would be the Pontiac Aztek. A vehicle this hideous should not be available in such putrid colors, either.

The early aughts were a strange time for vehicle design, and the Dodge Nitro, which debuted in 2007, was no exception to the rule. The box on wheels was eventually retired in 2012.

Manufactured from 1999 to 2001, the Isuzu Vehicross looks like it was designed to appear as if it were visiting from the future. Unfortunately, its future was cut short; it turns out there was a very small demographic of people who wanted to drive a bottom-heavy spaceship-mobile.

One look at the Lincoln MKT may lead one to assume its target audience is anyone who ever dreamt of driving a hearse built with live passengers in mind. The Lincoln MKT attended its own funeral in 2019 when it was finally discontinued after ten years in production.

If a frog were a car it would be the Nissan Juke. The headlights resemble bug-like eyes, and while some may find them cute, they weren’t popular enough to keep the car in production.

In 2011, Nissan must have started to wonder if there was a demand for a two-door convertible SUV reminiscent of a Volkswagen Beetle, because it was then that the Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet was born. The short-lived SUV had a small, but loyal following until it was discontinued in 2014.

The Honda Crosstour looks like an SUV wearing a car costume. The humpback sedan only lasted five years in the Honda lineup before it was retired in 2015.

A vehicle this expensive should not be this unfortunate looking. The Bentley Bentayga somehow managed to become the company’s best selling model and only SUV, despite looking like… well… that.
