Worst dashboard designs - Maruti's, Ambys!

Palios - outdated but not to be hated

Agree. Have you seen the Palio dash when it is lit?

Looks majestic.

Maruti - Omni/800/estilo/Swift/Alto and now even A-Star is nothing worth about

Civic dash rocks! Esp in night.

Anyone without a tacho period.

Friends, what's the purpose of a dashboard btw? (am not talking about the meters console etc).
Is storing artifacts etc etc the 'actual design' purpose of a dashboard (the top part of a dashboard)? or is this an Asian/Indian perspective of using the dashboard as a storage medium?

i am surprised how u voted for alto. i think alto dash is a revolution over the awkward 800 and at a price so low the finish and quality of the material used in dash is awesome. 5 years and the plastic hasnt faded or scratched at all. very simple and basic that accommodates everything

The worst is Indica/Indigo Family because of the way it juts out of the dash. Even Old SUMo dash was just cheap Plastic.

sidindica · 21st November 2008, 20:17

old mahindra jeeps
premier padmini

grey upper end +black lower end+beige top garnish + silver centre garnish = 4 in 1 maruti zen estilo
1998-2001 honda city
2001-1004 hyundai sonata
elantra with the 80's style vertical vents

old pre facelift ford fusion

Maruti Esteem's is real bad.

118NE - Huge clock instead of a tacho
Amby ISZ and Indica - What were the trying?

Mahindra Scorpio's dashboard, as its camouflauged to look otherwise, but the final execution is poor. The main culprit here is the shear space it occupies from the front windscreen to where it extends, its just too small, probably the smallest wiith very little protrusion into the cabin. Modern dashboards are deep & give a cockpit like feel.
Other worst dashboards are- Mahindra Bolero's, Tata Sumo, Tata Safari's(not dashboard per say) but its placement with respect to the seats, one sits almost atop the dashboard, whereas it should be at the right level.
