15. Fiat Multipla (2004 facelift)
The Fiat Multipla, already notorious for its unusual, awkwardly proportioned appearance, underwent a facelift in 2004 intended to address widespread criticism.
However, instead of correcting the vehicle’s quirky aesthetics, Fiat’s attempt resulted in an even more generic yet still unattractive design, removing any remaining charm or uniqueness.
The revised headlights, simplified grille, and toned-down curves made the Multipla appear bland and forgettable, yet still awkwardly proportioned.
Rather than redeeming the original model’s image, the facelift solidified the Multipla’s legacy as a cautionary tale in automotive design—an example of how attempting to fix a polarizing design can sometimes make matters worse.
