10 Ugly Looking Headlamps On An Indian Car

In the Indian automotive market, there are cars that are fast, there are cars that are slow, and also cars that look surprisingly gorgeous. On the other hand, there are cars we ask a serious question, why do they are how they are? Well, from multiple aspects, this comes down to personal preference, after all, aesthetics are always subjective. One of my buddies who is a designer quotes ‘one of those things that makes the cars go wow or naah! is this light source in vehicles’. So, without wasting any further time let’s name 10 of those cars that we feel have not so good looking headlights.

1. Maruti Suzuki S-Cross (lower variants)
   

   

   The first vehicle in a while that we personally adore as a vehicle from the house of Maruti Suzuki is the S-Cross. Launched in 2015, as any brilliant car from Suzuki this too never made a dent in sales numbers.

   That said, in the top-end Alpha variant it sure used to get a projector set-up, which was seamless. But the other variants got a reflector type setup. Having the same housing, the reflector was a little too large of a piece and didn’t go well with the vehicle’s design.

2. Maruti Suzuki Eeco
   

   

   Coming next is another vehicle for Maruti Suzuki which we think has little bland looking headlights. Maruti Suzuki Eeco is essentially used for commercial purposes. And in the business world, nobody gives a **** about the aesthetics. Nevertheless, Eeco came with clear lens headlights which looked as if something is missing from the front of the vehicle and does look weird.

3. Hyundai Creta (Post 2020)
   

   

   Back in 2015, the Korean carmaker launched a that became an instant hit. That Creta was powerful, handsome, and also value for money. And I’m afraid to report, that non of the factors continue in the facelifted Hyundai Creta.

   The relatively affordable vehicles are low on power. The remaining aesthetic factor is taken away by its polarizing design. We did get used to the vehicle, but initially, the headlights looked out of place and the overall aesthetics were a lot criticised.

4. Tata Indigo
   

   

   Up next is the vehicle that again was readymade but for taxi fleet owners. But they are the outsiders that look at the vehicle. Surely Indigo among those cars that right now are head-turning not because of the aesthetics but because of the rare availability in the NCR region. That said, with the angry-looking front, the headlights seemed they did do over the top to express the vehicle’s expressions.

5. Citroen C5 Aircross
   

   

   One of the latest entries in the Indian automotive market is the Citroen C5. The French carmaker Citroen brought the vehicle as CBU, meaning it is a lot more expensive than its competition. Still, the C5 was didn’t at all made a dent in the sales numbers.

   One of the reasons that the vehicle didn’t deliver for the company is possibly the aesthetics. You either love the looks all hate them altogether. And how can one forget the weird-looking headlight of the C5?

6. Maruti Suzuki A-Star
   

   

   The majority of the cars on the list have starred reflective headlights that look ugly. Adding one more to the list is the Maruti Suzuki A-Star. This is among those rare times when a vehicle from the renowned carmaker Maruti Suzuki didn’t make a significant impact. One of the reasons A-Star was not preferred is expected to be its aesthetics. Which the headlights of this hatchback made even worse to look at.

7. Tata Safari Storme
   

   

   Before bursting down in the comments, let us clarify, this is the Tata Safari Storme we are after. Okay, the current Safari has its own drawbacks and flaws, but we’ll save them for some time later. Back to the Storm. At least Tata with the Safari Strom didn’t play with the vehicle’s DNA back.

   Okay, let us get back. The Storm was more of a useful facelift for the vehicle. But yes, the headlights of the new Safari Storme, did look awkward for the size and the kind of vehicle Storm was. Tata could have done better.

8. Toyota Etios
   

   

   Be it the Liva or Etios sedan, both have the same headlights. And these headlights looked downright ugly. Toyota Etios has a seamless grille but the extra-large headlight took the charm away from the vehicle.

   That said, every feeling was lost in the wind as you’d get behind the wheel. It was a reliable vehicle with class-leading mileage figures. No doubt, the fleet owners still have a soft corner for this vehicle.

9. Maruti Suzuki Wagon R
   

   

   Oh! Let’s switch back the focus to Maruti Suzuki WagonR. Apologies to all the WagonR fanboys, this tallboy hatchback sure is a mileage factory it sure looks, well, nasty. Over the years the body structure has remained more or less identical.

   What has radically changed is the headlight. This makes the latest generation of the headlight a lot bland and there sure is nothing interesting going for the design in the vehicle.

10. Tata Nexon (1st Gen)
    

    

    The Indian carmaker Tata launched the facelift for Nexon in the first half of 2020. And oh boy! they made it look like a true blue SUV. But before that, it more resembled a no roader than an off-roader.

    It looked like a sophisticated vehicle which was actually the opposite of what this vehicle could handle. Fast forward to later, Tata gave the Nexon interesting and good looks just by changing the headlights. Means, the headlights of the previous version were awful.

So, these were the 10 cars in the Indian market that we think came with the worst looking headlights. Let us in the comments, which other vehicle do you think should be on this list?
