The 2023 list of ugliest cars has a couple of truly momentous changes. The former number-two ugliest car, the Toyota C-HR, has been discontinued and sent to the great junkyard in the sky. And the former ugliest car, the Toyota Prius, which has been a long-time presence on this list, has been completely redesigned . . . and it looks fine. Oh, how times have changed.
There are fewer ugly cars on the market now than there have been in many years. It was a challenge to come up with a list of ten, and some of the cars in the lower half aren’t really that bad. With the C-HR disappearing and the Prius slipping off the bottom of the list, that left room for the Jeep Renegade in the ninth position and the Chevrolet Bolt in the tenth. I have also made some adjustments to the order to reflect changes in my opinions.
To qualify for this list, a car must be sold in volume to the general public in the United States.
