Body type - for each according to needs

Usually, even people far from the automobile industry have to understand the types of bodies when they are faced with the question of buying a car and choosing the type of bodywork. Each type of body has its own functionality and significant differences in appearance.

The body type of the sedan is one of the most popular. It can be easily recognized: 2 or 4 doors, as well as 3 main compartments - motor, luggage and passenger. The cabin in the car is quite spacious, so most cars for middle-class consumers are produced in this type of body.

The hatchback is three- or five-door, the luggage compartment in it is not so noticeable. This type of car is considered to be the most practical and very popular in Europe as a family one, because, by expanding the rear seats, it is possible to significantly increase the size of the trunk and easily carry long and bulky loads. Machines of this type look more compact than sedans.

Universals look much longer than cars of these types. As a rule, they have a very spacious cabin and a large trunk, which makes them indispensable in the transportation of large loads. However, the large dimensions of the car make it difficult to operate in the city, especially for those who do not feel the size of the car.

Fans of sports cars probably know this type of body, as a coupe. Such cars look very stylish and modern, however, as a rule, they have only one row of seats and only 2 doors. This machine is not very practical, but it looks very original.

Cabriolets are familiar to everyone in Hollywood movies, so it's not difficult to learn such a car - they do not have a hard roof, instead of which you can pull a tent in bad weather. Unfortunately, it is not possible to operate such a car under any weather and climate conditions, so this type of body is more popular in warm countries.

The body type of the coupe-cabriolet combines all the advantages and disadvantages of its "grandparents".

With limousines are familiar to almost everyone, their distinctive feature is a considerable length. Such cars are used, as a rule, with representative purposes or during various holidays.

The body type minivan combines the features of both cars and minibuses. The machine of this type is very roomy, sometimes includes 3 rows of seats and in shape often resembles a station wagon, but larger in size and height.

Pickups are different in that their rear part resembles a trailer, an open area for cargo. They are often found in the US, but are already gaining popularity in other countries.

Type of body SUV or crossover is often called a jeep, since it was this brand that was one of the first to produce cars in this type of body. Off-road cars have a large serious clearance, increased cross-country capacity and significant dimensions both external and inside the interior, often they are all-wheel drive. Crossovers are very popular among men.

There are several types of bodies: phaeton, hardtop, bregam, roadster, targa, fastback, town car, liftback, but on the roads they are extremely rare.
