About Cars

Cars are motorized vehicles used for transportation. They were invented because people wanted to see whether or not travel could be made easier. There are many types of automobiles; steam, electric, gasoline as well as different styles of these. If one inventor should be given credit to the creation of the car it should be the German inventor, Karl Benz, after he built his gasoline powered Benz Patent-Motorwagen in 1885.

Types of Cars

Hatchback - A hatchback is a car type with a rear door that opens upwards. They typically feature a four-door configuration, excluding the rear door. However , two-door hatchbacks are not uncommon.

Sedan - A sedan is a car with four doors and a typical boot/ trunk. A slightly technical detail is that it usually features a 3-box configuration with each of the boxes categorically used for the engine, passenger, and cargo.

SUV - A SUV is a big car built on a body-on-frame chassis, sports increased ground clearance and offers off-roading capabilities to a certain extent.

Crossover - A crossover is a vehicle that combines the features of an SUV and a hatchback. Crossover vehicles offer soft-roading capabilities and are constructed like a car - they use unibody construction instead of the body-on-frame platform used in SUVs.

Coupe - A coupe is classically defined as a closed two-door car with a fixed roof. Considered sporty by nature, it generally gets just 2 seats or with a smaller-than-average rear. The definition of a coupe has evolved over time and now is also ascribed to cars with four doors and coupe-like proportions.
