Dimensions of UK's 50 most licensed models are compared using 'maths, science and the golden ratio'
The Kia Picanto has been named Britain's 'ugliest' everyday car on sale today, according to new research that used the 'Golden Ratio' to rate the attractiveness of the UK's most popular models.
The research used 'science and mathematics' to compare the proportions of 50 of the most-bought new cars in Britain to those of the golden ratio, to give each vehicle a score out of 100.
Kia's current city car, which first went on sale in 2017, achieved the lowest score of all with a rating of just seven out of 100, making it Britain's ugliest everyday vehicle in showrooms.
The Audi A3, meanwhile, won the title of Britain's most beautiful car with a top-ranking score of 83 out of 100.
It is, however, worth noting that beauty comes at a cost, with the A3 priced from 27,860 in UK dealers compared to just 13,415 for a brand new Kia Picanto.
