Types of Cars

As mentioned in my previous post (Types of Motorcycles) Today i'll discuss the different types of cars that are popular in the world. But before discussing the types, let first see what exactly is a car??

Car:

A car is a vehicle which has 4 wheels and takes its passenger from one place to another by road. Now before you guys start contradicting the above statement let me tell you a technical definition of car:

       "It is a wheeled motor vehicle used for transporting passengers, which also carries its own engine or motor. Most definitions of the term specify that automobiles are designed to run primarily on roads, to have seating for one to eight people, to typically have four wheels, and to be constructed principally for the transport of people rather than goods."

Now lets have a look on its types:

• Hatch Back
• Sedan
• Convertible
• Coupe
• SUV
• MUV
• Sports
• Limousine

A Hatch Back:

Its the most common type and has 4 doors and slightly hatched from their back to make room for goods storage  in the back. It has small engine which is good enough to carry passengers and roam around. Have a look at few Hatch-backs.

Ford Focus

Renault Pulse

A Sedan:

Its a car which has a slightly stretched back and are longer than the hatchbacks. It has a separate compartment to keep your goods at the back and the inner space is also better as compared to hatch-backs. he engines present are of more power but not much and in some cases the engine displacement of sedan is equal to a hatchback from the same company. Have a look at few sedans.

Toyota Camry

A Convertible:

Its a car which has a retractable roof top and allow its owner to drive it as a sedan with roof up and as a classy car with roof down. These cars come in two types :

        Soft-Top: The rooftop in this car is made up of a cloth like material which is easy in operating but prone to cut and tear offs.

BMW Convertible Soft Top

        

        Hard-Top: The rooftop is made up of same material as of normal car and the car looks a normal car with roof up. But the retraction of this type of rooftop is difficult to engineer and requires precise controls.

A Coupe:

A car which has 2 doors and has slightly lower height is known as a Coupe. This car sits 2 passengers and has door length much more than a normal car. These cars look stylish and are very popular among youngsters. Here are some pics of Coupes.

A MUV(Multi Utility Vehicle):

This type of car can be utilized as a SUV or as a passenger car or a goods carrier as it has power, comfort and space t fulfill every need. These cars have enlarged boot space to accommodate more passengers or goods.  Have a look.

A Sports Car:

These cars have the biggest engine and have the precise technologies inbuilt to make them perform better. The design and aerodynamics are taken care of to exceed their performance as these cars are used for racing purposes. These are super costly and i have mentioned them in one of my post- Costly Cars.

Have a look at few of them.
