different type of car Page 508

There are more types of car than there are ways to burn a snag, but the main cast is straightforward.

Hatchbacks are compact and clever; sedans add a proper boot; wagons stretch the boot; SUVs sit you high and play at off-road, while proper 4x4s actually do it.

Utes haul tools and egos; people movers (MPVs) are rolling lounges; coupes and convertibles chase style; and vans serve work, bands, or both.

Electrified options now cut across the lot—hybrids sip, plug-ins commute on electrons, and EVs go silent and quick.

Pick what fits your driveway, family, and fuel budget—the right car is the one that makes Monday mornings slightly less tragic.
