The title of the world’s ugliest car often goes to the Pontiac Aztek, produced from 2000 to 2005. Designed as a versatile crossover, it promised practicality with features like removable seats and even a built-in tent option. However, its awkward proportions, oversized cladding, oddly split headlights, and bulky stance made it widely ridiculed.

Today, it is remembered as both a design misstep and a quirky icon in automotive history.
