Bar-style rear light clusters are definitely not a new automotive design trend and, while they are cool, the vehicles they were featured on in the past really weren’t – just think of the not very pretty second-gen Ford Scorpio sedan, and you can understand why the trend didn’t take off until now.
In recent years, though, manufacturers have really adopted the trend of having a horizontal light bar running across the back of a car connecting the two rear light clusters, and now the coolest such light bars are on some higher end luxury cars. The proliferation of LED technology was definitely key to this dramatic popularity upswing, as now most taillight bars are animated in some way, and they can usually put on some sort of light show.
On top of just looking really striking and often quite pretty, this kind of setup has safety benefits as well – it makes the car even more visible from behind, so there is less chance of a rear-end collision.
More and more cars are bound to feature them in years to come, and it could become a staple design choice for more luxurious and expensive cars, although there are plenty of more affordable mainstream options that have light bars. As things stand, this is a list of the twenty cars with the biggest and boldest light bars available now – they all look so cool that it was hard to narrow it down to just ten.
