8 of the worst -looking interiors in automotive history

What is the most important thing that you could search for when buying a new car? Reliability, horsepower or maybe the exterior design? Maybe it speaks the most to your heart? Although all of these are rather important properties, there is an aspect that you don't really seem to talk about, and that is the interior of the vehicle.

Sure, the interior must be good from a functional point of view, but it is also quite important that it looks good. You will not caress your dashboard or door panels while driving, but a well-designed interior with attention to detail is nice to have.

Some car manufacturers pay more attention to the interior than others, but for others the interior is only a complete subsequent thought. Usually a bad interior depends on quality, but often it can also be an ergonomic nightmare. Overall, these interior are fairly depressing places.

One of the most fascinating cars in American automotive history, Ford, hired the bull after over 30 years in 2019. The most controversial of all generations of Taurus, the third generation, which is available in the late 90s and early 2000s, is the most controversial.

This is due to two main reasons: the strange rounded outer design and the enigmatic decision to continue the rounded design motif inside. The main topic of this bull was clearly rounded forms, which is why Ford's interior designers were a good idea to accommodate most of the inner controls in an oval panel in the middle.

I'm not quite sure who registered for it, but it's strange. It is a bit like this old Nokia telephones that tried their best to reinvent the traditional layout for telephone keyboards, and failed miserably. Everything from the stereo system to the climatic rollers is compressed in a huge oval and does not look good. As you can imagine, the quality of the materials was also a Ford product from the late 90s, but not too much tobacco.

The WK Grand Cherokee 2004 was introduced at the New York Auto Show in 2004 and was the first generation to offer the SRT8 model, which is a pretty cool SUV in itself. However, the regular Grand Cherokee was a different story. It had some good properties, but it was heavily criticized on the interior. A look at it is enough to see why.

Although itself has been invoiced as a luxury SUV, the interior of the WK Grand Cherokee is anything but opulent. Someone said Jeep that a navigation system and electricity shipping and pedals were sufficient to be considered luxurious. Nobody told the interior designers that terribly cheap plastic and hideous fake wooden cladding do not help his case. Some of the WK -Grand Cherokees not only have cheap and plastic, and they also have common problems, and it is worth keeping an eye on the eye.

There are many unused space to insult injuries, and they simply have the feeling that the designers have not just tried. It is now a completely different story, but on the day of the WK Grand Cherokee, Jeep had still not found out the whole luxury matter. As a jeep, it won't age from a functional point of view.

When they grew up in the early 2000s, their memories of the lobster H2 are thanks to either rap music videos, various celebrities such as LeBron James they buy and modify them in alberner, or because in 2004 it was one of the three luxury SUVs in the need for speed underground.

After General Motors had taken over on the general, the Hummer H2 created it as a tribute to the original war machine in the street machine, the Humvee and Hummer H1. It was a more luxurious, down-to-earth SUV offer that would listen to the military legend that we all know and love. We appreciate the trouble, but it is not.

Doug Demuro explained (and mocked) everything in his YouTube video very well. In addition to all the details of the outdoor style, there are fake decorations, the interior is an absolute HodgePodge. There is an unused space, a terrible equipment that still corresponded to the GM standard of time and a general lack of quality. This was not the end of the interior problems in the H2, since the driver had to fight with completely useless visibility even with completely useless visibility in the name of the style.

Before the Fiat Punto conquered the European market in the storm, Fiat's main competitor to the VW Golf was the UN. It was a box -shaped assembly line that was pretty simple, even though there was also a cool turbo model. Long after the UN was set in Europe, the type of type lived in some of the most lucrative markets of Fiat, namely Brazil and Latin America.

In 2010, Fiat Brazil revived the UN as a lightning model of the entry-level class to compete with the other favorite small car Latin America, the VW Gol-yes, without the F. How the Gol was laid out the UN from the start as a very simple car, and this is immediately obvious if you look at the interior.

The basic Fiat Uno Vivace was really depressing inside. The entire dashboard was black plastic, there was an empty plate on the radio plate, and they had all two dials and a lever for the climate controls. I am really sorry for a person from Latin America who had to put up with this interior. The upper equipment variants have improved things a little, but they have to ask themselves how far the cost reduction can be taken before the experience behind the steering wheel significantly affects.

In the early 2010s, many start-up car manufacturers in the United States came and went, each with their own idea of ​​an everyday usable high-speed electric vehicle. Such a car manufacturer was Wheego and it had an idea that sounded good on the paper. Wheego bought body shells from China's notorious Smart Fortwo Copycat, the Shuanghuan Noble, and then owed the in -house electrical drive trains to create the whip at low speed and then the capable lifespan of the highway.

The Chinese auto industry has put a long way since then, with some really cool cars coming from China. But when life was for sale, it was a completely different story. This means that the quality control and the establishment of things were foreign concepts for Shuanghuan. Robert Dunn von Aging wheels set it very well in his review of his own life.

The interior became like the interior of the Smart Fortwo, but the engineering … Actually, I'm not sure whether it was so much engineering. It would be easier if I would summarize it. This is a good time to mention that life was sold in the early 2010s for around 33,000 US dollars in retail.

There is no way to talk about the worst automotive shops without mentioning the Jugo, which is generally considered one of the worst cars of all time. The Jugo was built in the former Yugoslavia and was one of many cars that were a product of socialism. It was just a means of transport, and it should be a very simple car from the start to be affordable for many Yugoslav people.

The Yugo shares many of its components with several Fiat vehicles, but the Yugoslav car manufacturer Zastava has corresponded to the taste of the local population group. Due to the less than ideal standards of the company and the cheap autothilosophy of the Yugo, the interior was not exactly what they could describe as nice.

There was hardly anything in relation to characteristics. Most Yugos left the factory without a tachometer, although most of them had manual transmission. Air conditioning? Forget it. There are only two climate openings and hardly any climate controls. The company also used the cheapest possible plastic and construction techniques that made the Jugo an overall depressing place to spend time. It didn't help to fall apart.

Most Americans probably think that it would not have a car that was developed under socialism and communism that was worse than the Yugo, right? Boy are you wrong? While Yugoslavia had to deal with the Yugo and other built-in licenses, East Germany had the Trabant. It was a small, inspired two -door limousine from 50s with a body made of recycled cotton and a two -active engine that produced a smoke path for longer than the car itself.

Robert Dunn von Aging wheels on YouTube has had a trabant for years, and as he often tells us, it is the experience of having a trabant. In addition to the terrible processing quality of the car and the sporadic two-stroke engine, you also have to deal with the interior.

Have you ever seen an interior with such an unapological lack of characteristics? A few buttons, a few buttons, a tachometer and a gear lever on the column. Oh, and of course a steering wheel. Most trabants do not even have a fuel display inside. You have to measure the fuel and oil mixture with a diving stick. Because that's fun, right?

Now we have to complete the sacred trinity of communist cars. Lada, similar to Zastava, also built a whole series of terrible cars that started their life as a fiat. You are probably familiar with the Riva and Niva/4×4, but Lada also had an entry -level model for a long time.

Yes, this car manufacturer, which is known for doing nothing more than doing the most basic cars, had an entry -level model. It is like creating a basic form of white bread. Enter the Lada Oka, which is also known as VAZ-1111, a tiny little car that was the entry point to the Lada set-up from the late 80s until the late 2000s. Because, like Lada, she does things.

Most OKAs were driven by tiny two-cylinder engines that drove the wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. To drive it, they had to sit in this extremely depressing interior. We can't gloss over it, it's really that bad. It is an endless sea of ​​black plastic, two climate control openings that point upwards, even though they are intended for the driver and the passenger, a few switches and a tachometer. If you want the comfort of creatures, ask too much.

The most interesting thing about the Lada Oka is that you don't have to take the trouble to import one yourself. If you want an OKA campaign in your life out of any bizarre reason, you can actually buy a neighborhood -EV conversion from OKA directly from an American company.
