Generally, we see 3 pillars in a sedan or hatchback, whereas station wagon, SUV will have 4 pillars.
Sedan
A sedan is a classic choice if you are looking for practicality and utility. It is stylish and budget-friendly. It tends to provide better fuel economy, affordability, handling, and performance. Looking at its safety and handling, the sedan can be a good choice for all new drivers.
An average sedan has four doors, a full-sized trunk and seats five adults. Engines in sedans are more powerful than those found in compact cars. Since they are close to the road and have the lower center of gravity, they perform better around corners and sharp turns and hence, they are less prone to tipping and rolling over.
Coupe
The coupe is stylish and sportier if compared to the sedan. It’s the best pick for singles or couples. Coupe has two doors and a low, fixed roof, which makes it stands out on the road. Buyers who value style and experience can think of coupe.
A coupe is shorter than a sedan. It may or may not have a back seat.
Hatchbacks
Hatchbacks are known for their utility and style. They are smaller than SUV but larger than a sedan. The extended trunk in a hatchback makes it different from a sedan. A hatchback has the rear door, top-hinged trunk, and foldable rear seats. This extended space in a hatchback makes it perfectly fit for small family or executive cars.
SUV
Sport utility vehicles (SUVs) has the utility and capability of a pickup truck with the passenger capacity of a sedan. They are usually equipped with a large cargo bay. They are large and have at least some off-road capability. They are generally less fuel-efficient than smaller sedans and crossovers.
Crossover
This car is a crossover between a sedan and an SUV. It has passenger space like an SUV and fuel efficiency of a sedan with the cargo. Crossovers are available in four-wheel, rear-wheel, and all-wheel drives. They have better fuel economy than full-sized SUVs, gives an extra ground clearance and a more commanding view of the road. They are cheaper, but best fits light off- roads.
Trucks
Mostly, trucks are designed for rugged and big tasks. However, some trucks also emphasize style and comfort. Pickup trucks are the best option to haul cargo over uneven terrain. All pickup trucks come with a separate cabin and open rear cargo termed as “bed”. On the other hand, the extended-cab truck has a shorter bed and longer overall length.
The main differences among the range of trucks are their overall size, gas mileage, engine power and hauling ability.
