Identify your car body style
When buying a car one just looks at the price, Fuel efficiency, power, looks and the brand image. But cars have been infact divided in groups based on their designs by car gurus. Push Start!
1. Hatchback: The hatchback cars have a full door opening into the boot. Hatches can be either 3 door (two front and a hatch door) or 5 doors (four front and a hatch door). Hatchbacks need not only be small cars only as per the usual interpretation. Another concept called the nothcback is a car where the c box is less pronounced or less distinguished then the rest of the design cues on the car.
2. Convertible: If you haven't heard this word before it time you stepped off your computer and gushed in a breath of fresh outside air. A cabriolet is a car with folding roof. It can be hard-top or soft top depending on the configuration. Convertibles have also been synonymous with Fun to drive cars providing wind in your hair experience. Also known as Cabriolets.
3. Coupe: Take the car and remove 2 doors. Car gurus gave it a name rhyming with couple. Coupes are cars with only two doors. The car can be either 2 seater or 4 seater. I like it. A roadster is just the wilder version of a coupe where the car has minimal wind protection and has two seats with only fun to drive as its target.
4. Crossover: A drastic example of what fashion designers can do to the world. Mixing two platoforms makes a crossover. Mostly a fusion of a sedan and crossover. The newer designs have evolved a lot and are appealing. Thank you art.
5. Fastback: I would want to merge it with hatchback but that would totally kill the essence of hatchbacks. A Fastback is a car where the roof merges into the tail. Movie buffs will certainly remember the 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback from Gone in sixty seconds.
6. Station Wagon/ Estate: You drive one of these. You are a Mother of two who needs lots of space for things that dont fit in the purse and for groceries. You drive one of these. An extended Hatchback with enough space to fit your labrador in there. Recent developments also cater to couples who love Biking and boating. Single might need these for those after party times.
7. Limousine: Ever hated those long cars blocking the streets while taking the turns? Those with belly so big they might pass off as a driving bridge? Car gurus names them Limousine. There's a this particular Indian ad for Mirinda where the statement goes 'stretched Limo hai.' All billionaires have one. Start saving.
8. Minivan: Canada's favouraite vehicle and the only reason why Chrysler exists, the Minivan is the family hauler. Stuck between an estate and a UV. Boxy design, lots of space and bad driving dynamics sums this one up. It would be a sin to not mention the VW minivan and finish the write up on Minivan.
9. Sedan: The defacto car that we see everyday. A normal four door car with boot in the usual design. Needs the least description. Also known as saloon in many markets.
10. Supermini: No Dumb. It is not an antonym for Micromini. When the streets got crowded, car designers took the role as demi gods and created cars with smaller lengths liberating as much space as possible. Mostly hatchbacks in design, the superminis have given sedans a run for their money worldwide. Supermini Fiat 500 anyone?
11. UV: Short for Utility vehicles this kind of platforms include two vehicles. The SUV (sports Utes) for the well heeled and the MUV ( multi Utes) for the everyday populace. Also includes MPV's which are a fusion of Minivan's and MUv's.What began as a design reject example turned into a part of the earths life with many UV's going places where no other cars dare. off-roading is their ace in the pack skill. I want to take one to Mount Everest and then deep into the Mariana trench. If you still did not get it, go google for Mahindra Thar.
