It can be said that, the latest car

nowadays have lower drag coefficient
value, and the sedan segment is more
aerodynamics rather than SUV and
MPV. The hybrid cars such as Honda
CRZ and Toyota Prius have lower drag
coefficient rather than the petrol car.
The automotive industry can be seen
is moving towards reducing drag
coefficient through their design and
streamline of vehicles. However,
sports car such as Nissan Skyline GT-R
is not significantly bothered with Cds
value. This is due, the performance of
the engine is more in need to
overcome the drag coefficient besides
having good design of the area of Cd.
