All cars like carbon copies: “photofit” design of cars reaches epidemic proportions

In recent years, the market has seen an abundance of crossovers and electric cars, leading to opinions that the new cars are becoming increasingly indistinguishable. Journalists point out that even experienced observers sometimes struggle to differentiate between models as they all seem to follow a similar design trend. With automakers aiming for aerodynamic efficiency and modern aesthetics, the result is a wave of vehicles with striking resemblances. The industry’s move towards electric vehicles and SUVs also plays a role in shaping this uniformity, as manufacturers focus on practicality and sustainability rather than distinct design features.
