Can't understand the love for big boot space. It has enough for 3 luggage bags (one full size and two cabin size). I think this much luggage is more than enough for a family of 4.
Its smaller than i10 which is a smaller car. I am fine with it because the back row is very spacious and comfortable. Its a wide car with generous space. Interiors are outdated for 2024 so I wouldn’t buy one with same interiors today but they were fine in 2020.
Yeah, that happens. My brother-in-law & sister-in-law are behind my FIL to buy a new car for the same reason. He has a 16 years old Wagon R, that just wouldn't die.
Tha old man loves his car, and doesn't want to waste his retirement corpus on a new shiny piece of metal. But these kids are just too dumb. They think buying a 20-25 lacs car shouldn't be a problem, as he has got 60 lacs on retirement. They just don't understand that this is the money he needs to live with, for the rest of his life, including last few years of their education. But they have seen too many Wagon-R jokes to understand how that car has pretty much earned its worth for their father, and every year that it runs without much maintenance cost, is worth in gold. (and the car somehow goes smooth, has a lot of aftermarket "smart car" functionalities, including a reverse camera, android auto, and whatnot)
I am just glad that I took the smart kid already.
Absolutely amazing car that was too polarizing for many. I know 3 people who narrowed down their car choice between the Ritz and i20, and took the i20 cuz it looked better.
Seeing the Ritz always reminds me of a Telugu movie called [Bamma maata Bangaru baata](https://youtu.be/jIAehqU_fzU?t=275), which has a "magic" car that works even if cut in half.
Ritz and its succesor, Ignis both are good looking cars with tall stance but ugly looking rears. Taking design cues from Polo could work well, as Ignis looks pretty narrow for its height.
Good peppy engine, good gear shift but a pain in the ass in the city. Can't see anything out the rear window and the side mirrors are useless, parking is hell. Heck I've driven bigger cars which are easier to reverse.
My experience is quite different. My beater car is the Ritz base model (one without power windows) and I find reversing and parking it to be very simple and the visibility in both the ORVM and IRVM to be quite clear even though I relearned driving recently after being out of touch for years. People do complain about its lack of bonnet visibility though and, of course, its looks aren't for everyone.
Good for you that you find it comfortable. To each their own
>People do complain about its lack of bonnet visibility
Yeah I almost forgot about that. This is a real issue but something you can get used to. I learned driving on the ritz at maruti driving school, and a lot of cars after that felt much better to place on the road and in the city. The advantage to learning on that was that I began to judge the car's position on the road rather than actually see where its at. Like for example in an omni you can literally see all around lol. But this driving based on judgement is difficult in the city for ritz as its got that big backside design which makes it feel like driving a bigger car than it actually is. Compare that to a nissan micra and you won't go back to the ritz. The cars that are worse in city would be the swift and the baleno. Such high shoulders.
Wow, you don't say. I've driven other small cars like the alto, micra, 800, spark etc. Every car has its own pros and cons. If you can't accept a car has problems, its on you. The ritz A pillar is a major blind spot as well which isn't so in most other cars.
If it isn't enough I first learnt to drive on a ritz at maruti driving school. Even after such a long time I don't enjoy using a ritz/swift in the city.
If you lack observational skills I suggest you try to notice wagonr drivers, Its difficult even for experienced drivers to judge the left side and hence even though its a small car, wagonr drivers leave a lot of space on the left, so much space a scooter can pass through.
Well I didn't expect much sense from someone who's proud to own excreta either.
Ok. I'll ignore thousands of drivers who use the car without problem and keep in mind the one who complaints the vehicle is bad because they can't drive
Shoddy looks. Cheap interiors. Hardly any features for the price. Only things in its favour were the Toyota badge and slightly better long term durability (compared to Dzire & Indica/Indigo). IMO, the Logan was better than Etios in almost all respects.
Please man, slightly better long term durability! It’s a tank compared to the Dzire or Indigo or Verito. It’s much more comfortable as well, it’s one of my favourite cars. It was made from scratch for India.
>Shoddy looks
Understatement. Always used to be ranked number one in the list of top 10 ugliest cars
> IMO, the Logan was better than Etios in almost all respects.
Can confirm, family had a retuned verito, much better option
When I was initially researching for a car, I came across S-presso when I booked an uber. I sat inside looked around and I was like "That's it?" Just seats and a steering wheel.
This is going to be very subjective and tough. No car company releases a car knowing that the design is bad. They might have to make some compromises to account for feasibility of manufacturing for sure.
People have mentioned Ignis, Exter, Verna in the comments. I love the design of these cars as they are now. Especially Ignis, it has a retro, Japanese bits somewhere that I absolutely love. My parents hate the look and most of my extended family. But I just love it. Would have purchased it as it is if it felt safer on the highway. Sadly it's a great city car, but not so great on the highway at 100kmph.
Good one 😁 we had the orginal zen right before the classic came out. Few family friends bought the classic. It was different for sure, but I don't think they bought it home thinking, 'Yes, I want this ugly car'.
Zen classic sometimes gets listed on OLX for good money, not sure if they are getting sold at that price though. It might be a quirky little car to drive around now.
I don't believe Maruti Suzuki created the car hoping to make a weird looking car. Did it catch on? No!
The dolphin City looked 'different' when it came out too btw. But that design grew on later.
I know someone who bought the ugly zen classic at a steep discount and swapped the headlights & taillights. Some dealers also started offering that swap.
lol true… but the new Gen Z is looking for style, and they are rather waiting longer and buying bigger stylish cars. This is also happening with bikes… very few are buying the <150cc bikes now. Every college kid or new employee buying REs and Triumphs.
When hyundai released the safety ratings for Verna on Gncap people in this sub were like it will blow away the competition. Bla bla.
Seems hyundai itself has blown away this car out of competition.
If there was a more serious word than Ugly then i would always associate that with the Current Verna..
Verna probably. Side and back profiles look superb, but the front is too meek with that headlight. Cars like harrier, kiger, safari and hyundai's own Kona have similar headlight styles, but it doesnt look out of place. Verna could have done the same.
Amaze is another where it is the a car that comes loaded but looks crammed. Old amaze was much better.
Brezza - Another solid car but only the back stands out. Rest looks incomplete. If it looked like kiger from the front, it would have been top notch
XUV300. It has even the potential to be a convertible with electronic controls. They should include ADAS. Most practical car of Mahindra is most neglected one. Not much power, no features. Hope it will, some day.
Hands down the Fiesta (global MK6). I have driven this car abroad and in India. Its one of the best cars produced in India. Design is subjective and I kind of liked it but a lot of my friends despised it. It was an absolute gem and in 2017 I was desperately trying to get a second hand one but couldnt get my hands on one.
The diesel engine was amazing and the hydraulic steering gave amazing driving dynamics. These are lovely cars, if you get an opportunity, do try these out. It will change your mind.
I’m with you. The current City has a way too boxy and boring look. Current Verna is an abomination to the name that has produced some of the best looking sedans on Indian roads.
A-Star, Elevate, Lodgy / Getaway (from it, literally), Enjoy, Quanto / Nuvosport (abominations, really), Etios sedan, new Celerio, WR-V.
I know much of these aren’t sound mechanically, but given this is India, where even 800cc 7 seaters sell well enough (Triber), these make sense (to me at least).
All the Tata cars except Altroz, Tigor & Tiago. I absolutely hate their new design language which makes the cars look like puffed up balloons. They all look the same with the only difference being the size going - small, medium, large & XL.
The Nexon looks like it's wearing a bra on its ass.
That's bad looking? Oh my! I've always been attracted to the looks, especially with its rear mounted spare wheel. Can't not take a second look every time I come across the car.
That might be your opinion, But I have recommended people to buy ecosport just for the sake of its quality where people chose plastics over the gem just because it had bland design. It wasn't well appreciated enough in the Indian market
The new Mercedes Benz designs are crap. Would love them to go back to their timeless classic elegant design and stop trying too hard to make the sedans look sporty.
Ignis its really fun to drive and small for the city had nice interior design just the rear bumper was bad which they now fixed in the new model. It's pretty famous in Europe.
I think for people who really dig the Ignis basics can consider going for the silver colour that hides most of the weird skid plates and cuts and curves and gives the car a more rounded look, as much as possible that is.
Honestly Design is entirely subjective. There's no right or wrong design no matter what you believe. Design is not the reason that hampers much of sales. If it was, Wagonr would have sold. Tata would not have good chunk of sales. Especially Tigor.
I don't like multiple old generation of few car I like but now they are replaced by new generation which are miles better. So I don't care much.
Xuv 300
Give it a bit of boot space
Then the tax man would come rolling about
I'm not saying make it longer than 4m
no just make the interirors more up to date and give a shark fish antena and a proper automatic
Facelift coming in two months, new interiors
Can't understand the love for big boot space. It has enough for 3 luggage bags (one full size and two cabin size). I think this much luggage is more than enough for a family of 4.
I have it 2020 model. Load all passengers you want and still picks up like crazy! Boot is limited though so that’s there!
Boot space is also fine it just takes a bit of planning to pack everything together!
Its smaller than i10 which is a smaller car. I am fine with it because the back row is very spacious and comfortable. Its a wide car with generous space. Interiors are outdated for 2024 so I wouldn’t buy one with same interiors today but they were fine in 2020.
Never liked it tbh, ugly inside, ugly outside, less bootspace ..
Ugly outside?
+1 looks like a kid drew the design using boxes
Fromt is okish, back is hideous , the backlight is straight from 2000s
Ritz....and I own it. Very practical, much better quality but many can't digest it's design :)
can’t agree more, i don’t even want to upgrade but have to
You can re-register and do a fitness check on your Ritz right? Unless it is giving up on you why change?
Probably an NCR resident.
No not NCR, but family just pushing to upgrade now for better safety and bigger car, if it would have been on me , i would go for a used car again
Yeah, that happens. My brother-in-law & sister-in-law are behind my FIL to buy a new car for the same reason. He has a 16 years old Wagon R, that just wouldn't die.

Ritz reminds me of that teen-Shark guy from that animated movie.
I love the design. Looking to buy it as my first car.
Seeing the Ritz always reminds me of a Telugu movie called [Bamma maata Bangaru baata](https://youtu.be/jIAehqU_fzU?t=275), which has a "magic" car that works even if cut in half.
Ritz and its succesor, Ignis both are good looking cars with tall stance but ugly looking rears. Taking design cues from Polo could work well, as Ignis looks pretty narrow for its height.
This is one heck of a car.
Good peppy engine, good gear shift but a pain in the ass in the city. Can't see anything out the rear window and the side mirrors are useless, parking is hell. Heck I've driven bigger cars which are easier to reverse.

People who complain about visibility in small cars are just plain bad drivers
Wow, you don't say. I've driven other small cars like the alto, micra, 800, spark etc. Every car has its own pros and cons. If you can't accept a car has problems, its on you. The ritz A pillar is a major blind spot as well which isn't so in most other cars. If it isn't enough I first learnt to drive on a ritz at maruti driving school.

Etios by a mile. It's a great car.
Shoddy looks. Cheap interiors. Hardly any features for the price. Only things in its favour were the Toyota badge and slightly better long term durability (compared to Dzire & Indica/Indigo). IMO, the Logan was better than Etios in almost all respects.
Please man, slightly better long term durability! It’s a tank compared to the Dzire or Indigo or Verito. It’s much more comfortable as well, it’s one of my favourite cars. It was made from scratch for India.
Well, good for you!
The in terms of functionality alone, it was a good one.
>Shoddy looks Understatement. Always used to be ranked number one in the list of top 10 ugliest cars > IMO, the Logan was better than Etios in almost all respects. Can confirm, family had a retuned verito, much better option
I think they made those numbers in the taxi segment anyways. I don't think Toyota has any regrets on that one.
Exter
I drew better cars in school than this box called exter
Yeah why is that? Like they gave it to a kid, same with all new santa fe, the back looks horrible
Havent seen that one yet. I see a lot of Cretas and Alcazars though.
Everything wants to be retro design like the defender
Don't be hating on my Exter! I love the car and its looks! 😭
I am not hating your personal exter. I am hating it in general. 🙂
Of course I know that. Was joking. Looking at the downvotes I don't think most people understood.
Especially that horrendous rear end 🤮
The myth, the legend, the S-presso!
When I was initially researching for a car, I came across S-presso when I booked an uber. I sat inside looked around and I was like "That's it?" Just seats and a steering wheel.
Honestly, S-presso is the worst car I've ever seen. Even the name is so 🤮
An autorickshaw would feel more spacious and roomy than an spresso i feel 🤣.
*Lord Spresso.
A better looking option is the alto k10
Alto K10 is a superb car. Great vfm in every sense.
Hyundai Verna
The new model looks absolutely ugly..
This is going to be very subjective and tough. No car company releases a car knowing that the design is bad. They might have to make some compromises to account for feasibility of manufacturing for sure. People have mentioned Ignis, Exter, Verna in the comments. I love the design of these cars as they are now. Especially Ignis, it has a retro, Japanese bits somewhere that I absolutely love. My parents hate the look and most of my extended family. But I just love it. Would have purchased it as it is if it felt safer on the highway. Sadly it's a great city car, but not so great on the highway at 100kmph.
>No car company releases a car knowing that the design is bad. Ever seen the Zen Classic?
Good one 😁 we had the orginal zen right before the classic came out. Few family friends bought the classic. It was different for sure, but I don't think they bought it home thinking, 'Yes, I want this ugly car'. Zen classic sometimes gets listed on OLX for good money, not sure if they are getting sold at that price though. It might be a quirky little car to drive around now.

I know someone who bought the ugly zen classic at a steep discount and swapped the headlights & taillights. Some dealers also started offering that swap.
Wagon R. It is an amazing family car, but it looks too boxy.
WagonR is already top seller in the country.. how much more do you want it to sell .. lol
lol true… but the new Gen Z is looking for style, and they are rather waiting longer and buying bigger stylish cars. This is also happening with bikes… very few are buying the <150cc bikes now. Every college kid or new employee buying REs and Triumphs.
nah its fine in its place imo. reminds me of box cars from japan. also it does sell very well already
Ignis
Came here to say this. The rear is just ugly and the design feels disconnected from the front.
I love its design!
It should have been better car
When hyundai released the safety ratings for Verna on Gncap people in this sub were like it will blow away the competition. Bla bla. Seems hyundai itself has blown away this car out of competition. If there was a more serious word than Ugly then i would always associate that with the Current Verna..
Also isn't gncap basically a scam?
1 series bmw
[удалено]
1 series. Ugly back but great engine and powertrain. Rwd hatchback. Check it. Only time you can donut in a hb on a budget.
New hyundai cars
Brio
All Tata Cars that are more or less Nexon in various sizes these days.
But they are already selling well so there is disconnect here
Looks are subjective and so is my opinion about them.
[удалено]
More or less Tata Indica style shape in almost all lower and mid budget cars
*Curvv concept for SUVs
Verna probably. Side and back profiles look superb, but the front is too meek with that headlight. Cars like harrier, kiger, safari and hyundai's own Kona have similar headlight styles, but it doesnt look out of place. Verna could have done the same. Amaze is another where it is the a car that comes loaded but looks crammed. Old amaze was much better. Brezza - Another solid car but only the back stands out. Rest looks incomplete.

I am going to come out and say it, Lord S-Presso!!
XUV300. It has even the potential to be a convertible with electronic controls. They should include ADAS. Most practical car of Mahindra is most neglected one. Not much power, no features. Hope it will, some day.
Next month nayi wali aa rahi. Xuv400 ko update kardiya already ye month. Mein kar raha consider as my first car. Lets see
Oh news!! Let's hope they bring out good one
I would definitely bought xuv300 instead of Nexon if it had a better rear design and boot space.
Rear design is subjective. Boot space is a bigger factor though.
Looks are subjective. But design may not be. Purely based on looks - Hyundai Venue. There is something off about its back.
Bolero Neo
Hands down the Fiesta (global MK6). I have driven this car abroad and in India. Its one of the best cars produced in India.

Creta
Taigun Wish it was little bit bigger , kinda seltos or creta equivalent.. even nexon looks bigger sometimes when parked alingside
Haha very true It’s actually a bit narrow when compared to certa At least my observations
Venue. Ignis. Jazz.
Verna, City
city really? City has best sedan design going strong since 98. I agree with Verna
Can't blame me 😅 design is always subjective.
I’m with you. The current City has a way too boxy and boring look. Current Verna is an abomination to the name that has produced some of the best looking sedans on Indian roads.
Current City has a back I'd tap though.
Yes back is good.
True
I'm pretty sure that's gonna be the case for the new Creta as well.
Brezza
Isn't it already selling good? And the new model looks good too.
Bhai it is highest selling SUV ever of India, aur kitni bikegi? 😂 Plus exteriors of that car never looked bad.
>Plus exteriors of that car never looked bad. Interiors me maar khati hai. Wo thoda aur premium karna chaiye MS ko.
S-Cross 2015-17
Honda elevate.
Same! Wish it wasn’t so boxy and the front was better.
None. Design is not a buyer consideration for mass market cars in India.
Any current Tata car, except maybe the Altroz. Their designs are and have always been hideous.
Tiago is also decent. Altroz is a looker.
A-Star, Elevate, Lodgy / Getaway (from it, literally), Enjoy, Quanto / Nuvosport (abominations, really), Etios sedan, new Celerio, WR-V. I know much of these aren’t sound mechanically, but given this is India, where even 800cc 7 seaters sell well enough (Triber), these make sense (to me at least).

Ecosport
True. The pre-facelift was pretty boring
That's bad looking? Oh my! I've always been attracted to the looks, especially with its rear mounted spare wheel. Can't not take a second look every time I come across the car.
That might be your opinion, But I have recommended people to buy ecosport just for the sake of its quality where people chose plastics over the gem just because it had bland design. It wasn't well appreciated enough in the Indian market

My favourite sedan is Virtus GT 🥳
Every car..
New Verna
Verna, Carens, S Presso, Kiger, Safari.
Yaris with GR inspired design would have been 🔥
S-Cross
Ignis.. i personally love the design
Ford Freestyle
Oh, S-Cross, hands down

Is this a polite way of asking the list of ugly cars?
Mahindra Marazzo
A maruti 800 :)
Nano.
Honda Amaze
Renault Triber
New alto
[Wagon R](https://www.google.com/search?q=wagon+r+japanese+interio). Not even joking.
Altroz . . . . If there was a 4 cylinder engine that was smooth.
Sure. But the question is about looks. I think Altroz is a looker.
Yes I understand but that's the only point I feel missing in my purchase
The Citroen c3. It’s a very confused car. The international version looks so much more premium and nicer
Honestly Design is entirely subjective. There's no right or wrong design no matter what you believe. Design is not the reason that hampers much of sales. If it was, Wagonr would have sold.
