CARS
A car, or an automobile, is a motor vehicle with wheels. Most definitions of cars state that they run primarily on roads, seat one to eight people, have four wheels, and mainly transport people, not cargo.
In today's world cars are an important part of life that it will allow us to go anywhere without any hesitation. cars are safer than any two wheelers in the market, it allow us to have a safe journey in any weather conditions.
There are many types of cars are present in the market. these can be classified on the basis of body types and on the basis of chassis on which the whole frame was depend. So there are some types of cars present in the market:
TYPES OF CARS
So there are eight types of cars which were named as given below;
1. SEDAN
A sedan is a passenger car in a three-box configuration with separate compartments for an engine, passengers, and cargo.
A sedan is a car with a closed body (i.e. a fixed metal roof) with the engine, passengers, and cargo in separate compartments. This broad definition does not differentiate sedans from various other car body styles, but in practice, the typical characteristics of sedans are:
1. a B-pillar (between the front and rear windows) that supports the roof two rows of seats
2. a three-box design with the engine at the front and the cargo area at the rear.
3. a less steeply sloping roofline than a coupe which results in increased headroom for rear passengers and a less sporting appearance and,
4. a rear interior volume of at least 33 cu ft (0.93 m3).
2. SUV [sports utility vehicle]
A sport utility vehicle (SUV) is a car classification that combines elements of road-going passenger car with features from off-road vehicles, such as raised ground clearance and four-wheel drive.
There is no commonly agreed-upon definition of an SUV and usage of the term varies between countries. Thus, it is "a loose term that traditionally covers a broad range of vehicles with four-wheel drive." Some definitions claim that an SUV must be built on a light truck chassis. however, broader definitions consider any vehicle with off-road design features to be an SUV.
Many years after most passenger cars had transitioned to unibody construction, most SUVs continued to use a separate body-on-frame method, due to being based on the chassis from a light truck, commercial vehicle, pickup truck, or off-road vehicle.
SUV's are of many types according to their size of the body such as,
1. Crossover SUV
2. Mini SUV
3. Compact SUV
4. Mid-sized SUV
5. Full-sized SUV
6. Extended length SUV, and
7. Coupe SUV

HERE3. HATCHBACK
A hatchback is a car body configuration with a rear door that swings upward to provide access to the main interior of the car as a cargo area rather than just to a separated trunk. Hatchbacks may feature fold-down second-row seating, where the interior can be reconfigured to prioritize passenger or cargo volume.
The distinguishing feature of a hatchback is a rear door that opens upwards and is hinged at roof level (as opposed to the boot/trunk lid of a saloon/sedan, which is hinged below the rear window). Most hatchbacks use a two-box design body style, where the cargo area (trunk/boot) and passenger areas are a single volume.
The rear seats can often be folded down to increase the available cargo area. Hatchbacks may have a removable rigid parcel shelf, or flexible roll-up tonneau cover to cover the cargo space behind the rear seats.
3 door and 5 door terminology
When describing the body style, the hatch is often counted as a door, therefore a hatchback with two passenger doors is called a three-door and a hatchback with four passenger doors is called a five-door.
4. MPV [MULTI PURPOSE VEHICLE]
Minivan is an American car classification for vehicles that are designed to transport passengers in the rear seating rows, have reconfigurable seats in two or three rows. The equivalent terms in British English are multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), people carrier, and people mover. Minivans are often of the "one-box" or "two-box" body configuration, high roofs, flat floors, sliding doors for rear passengers, and high H-point seating.
The term MPV stands for Multi-Purpose Vehicle (MPV). This vehicle type is primarily designed to carry a number of passengers. People also refer to such a vehicle as ‘Minivan’ or ‘Multi Utility Vehicle (MUV)’. These vehicles became popular around the world. It is mainly because of the convenience they offer in terms of the carrying capacity of either people or cargo.
5. COUPE
A coupe is a passenger car with a sloping or truncated rear roofline and two doors. The term coupé was first applied to horse-drawn carriages for two passengers without rear-facing seats. It comes from the French past participle of couper.
A coupe is a fixed-roof car with a sloping rear roofline and one or two rows of seats. However, there is some debate surrounding whether a coupe must have two doors for passenger egress or whether cars with four doors can also be considered coupes.
The definition of coupe started to blur when manufacturers began to produce cars with a 2+2 body style (which have a sleek, sloping roofline, two doors, and two functional seats up front, plus two small seats in the back).
6. PICKUP TRUCK
A pickup truck or pickup is a light-duty truck that has an enclosed cabin, and a back end made up of a cargo bed that is enclosed by three low walls with no roof (this cargo bed back end sometimes consists of a tailgate and removable covering).
The cargo bed can vary in size according to whether the vehicle is optimized for cargo utility or passenger comfort. Most have fixed side walls and a hinged tailgate. Cargo beds are normally found in two styles: step side or fleet side.
A step-side bed has fenders that extend on the outside of the cargo area. A fleet-side bed has wheel wells inside the bed. The first fleet-sided truck was the 1955 Chevrolet Cameo Carrier. Early trucks had wood-plank beds, which were largely replaced by steel by the 1960s. Some European-style trucks use a drop-sided bed with a flat tray with hinged panels rising up on the sides and the rear.
7. SPORTS CAR
A sports car is a car designed with an emphasis on dynamic performance, such as handling, acceleration, top speed, the thrill of driving and racing capability. Sports cars originated in Europe in early 1902 and are currently produced by many manufacturers around the world.
Sports cars are a thrilling blend of jaw-dropping performance, enthralling speed, and ultimate luxury. Modern-day sports cars scream ‘futuristic’ while staying true to their core values, and those that are lucky enough to get behind the wheel of one experience the true spirit of racing.
Perhaps what sports cars do best is make you feel like you’re in a luxury sedan until you put your foot down, when it lets you know that it is indeed a thoroughbred sports car capable of hugging corners and doing cross-country runs without breaking a sweat.
8. VAN
A van is a type of road vehicle used for transporting goods or people. Depending on the type of van, it can be bigger or smaller than a pickup truck and SUV, and bigger than a common car.
There is some variation in the scope of the word across the different English-speaking countries. The smallest vans, microvans, are used for transporting either goods or people in tiny quantities. Mini MPVs, compact MPVs, and MPVs are all small vans usually used for transporting people in small quantities.
Larger vans with passenger seats are used for institutional purposes, such as transporting students. Larger vans with only front seats are often used for business purposes, to carry goods and equipment. Specially equipped vans are used by television stations as mobile studios. Postal services and courier companies use large step vans to deliver packages.
