Buyers now have the flexibility to buy a car that can run rough terrain as well as city roads.

The Hummer H2 was named one of the worst SUVs of all time. Although produced from a famous brand, the car disappoints with terrible suspension, rigid gearbox. In addition, the large size is also a drawback that makes consumers not very interested in this model.

Mitsubishi Outlander 2003

The car was criticized for being weak, badly designed. The engine only produces 140 horsepower. Worse still, the power supply is weak, the sound insulation is poor.

Hyundai Terracan

The brand was launched in India in 2003. It became one of Hyundai’s most regrettable SUVs. Hyundai has built a large SUV with colossal proportions unlike anything seen from the company before.

Under the hood, Terracan is equipped with a 2.9L CRDi diesel engine with a capacity of 148 horsepower and 343nNm of torque. Sadly, sales and looks never competed with rivals like the Mitsubishi Pajero and Ford Endeavour, which offer a better full-size SUV experience.
