The automotive world never fails to stir up drama, and 2024 is no exception!
This year, some vehicles have sparked heated debates, blending bold designs, cutting-edge technology, and eco-conscious innovations—but not everyone is a fan.
From Tesla's highly anticipated Cybertruck to Jaguar’s daring EV relaunch, these cars have divided enthusiasts, critics, and buyers alike.
At Express Vehicle Contracts, we keep an eye on the trends and controversies shaping the future of driving.
Dive into our list of the top 10 most controversial cars of 2024 and see which ones are sparking excitement—or outrage—across the industry.
Here are 10 of the most controversial vehicles of 2024, each sparking debates for various reasons:
1. Tesla Cybertruck:
- After years of anticipation, its bold, angular design remains polarizing, but issues with quality control, recalls, and production have made it even more controversial. Still, it has a devoted fan base.
2. BMW XM:
- This hybrid SUV has been criticized for its massive size, aggressive styling, and perceived departure from BMW’s traditional design ethos. It’s caught between luxury and performance but hasn’t pleased everyone.
3. Hummer EV:
- While praised for being an electric reimagining of the infamous gas-guzzling Hummer, its enormous size, weight (nearly 10,000 pounds), and horsepower have sparked environmental concerns.
4. Hyundai Ioniq 6:
- Despite its striking design and impressive EV range, some critics argue its styling is divisive, with the retro-futuristic look splitting opinions among buyers.
5. Ford Mustang Mach-E:
- The use of the iconic “Mustang” name on an electric SUV continues to upset muscle car purists, even as it gains traction as a strong EV contender.
6. Toyota Mirai:
- Toyota’s hydrogen-powered sedan faces skepticism due to the lack of hydrogen fueling infrastructure, which limits its practicality despite its innovative technology.
7. Jaguar’s EV Relaunch:
- With no rear windshield and other bold design choices, Jaguar's all-electric lineup has been controversial, especially given its high price tag aimed at reviving the luxury brand.
8. Chevrolet Silverado EV:
- The truck’s design and specs are controversial, with some arguing it’s not as innovative or aggressive as other EV trucks like the Cybertruck.
9. Fiat Topolino:
- A tiny, retro electric car that sparks debates about its practicality, given its limited size and range. However, it appeals to urban dwellers and eco-conscious drivers.
10. BYD Seal:
- This Chinese-made EV has garnered attention for its affordable price and advanced tech, but it also stirs controversy in global markets due to geopolitical concerns and competition with established automakers.
Whether you love them or hate them, these controversial cars are shaping the automotive industry in 2024.
