Classification of cars
 Hatch back
 Convertible
 Sedan
 Small SUV
 Large SUV
 MPV
Hatchback Car:
This is likely to be the most common type of car you are going to see on
Pakistani roads. A hatchback is a car that is small with a below 3000
mm length with five doors (four entry doors and the boot lid) or at
times even three doors (two entry doors and the boot lid like the mini
cooper). The most recognizable characteristic is the rear door is hinged
at the top so that the door opens upwards to reveal the boot area. There
is no protruding boot space in the back.
A hatchback is a car body configuration with a rear door that swings
upward to provide access to a cargo area. Hatchbacks may feature fold-
down second row seating, where the interior can reconfigured to
prioritize passenger or cargo volume. Hatchbacks may feature two- or
three-box design.
While early examples of the body configuration can be traced to the 1
930s, the Merriam-Webster dictionary dates the term itself to 1970.
The hatchback body style has been marketed worldwide on cars
ranging in size from superminis to small family cars, as well as executive
cars and some sports cars.

Wheel base is 280 cm

Engine capacity is greater than 800 cc
Overall length is 409 cm
Hatchback cars in Pakistan are Suzuki Cultus, Suzuki Alto, Toyota Aqua,

Wheelbase 2510mm
Engine Capacity 1.3L
Convertible Car:
A convertible, cabriolet or spyder/spider is a passenger car that can be
driven with or without a roof in place. The methods of retracting and
storing the roof vary between models. A convertible allows an open-air
driving experience, with the ability to provide a roof when required.
Potential drawbacks of convertibles are reduced structural rigidity
(requiring significant engineering and modification to counteract the
effects of removing a car's roof) and cargo space.

Sedan Car
A sedan, or saloon, is a passenger car in a three-box configuration with
separate compartments for engine, passenger, and cargo Sedan's first
recorded use as a name for a car body was in 1 91 2. The name comes
from a 1 7th-century development of a litter, the sedan chair, a one-
person enclosed box with windows and carried by porters. Variations of
the sedan style of body include: close-coupled sedan, club sedan,
convertible sedan, fastback sedan, hardtop sedan, notchback sedan and
sedanet/sedanette.

Small SUVs

A compact sport utility vehicle or compact SUV is a class of small sport

utility vehicles that is larger than mini SUVs, but smaller than mid-size
SUVs. However, there is no official definition of the size or dimensions
for this market segment.
Moreover, some manufacturers have marketed the same model name
on different sized vehicles over time. The most common distinction
between versions of crossover automobiles and compact-sized SUVs is
that the first is based on a car-based uni body platform, while an SUV
uses the body-onframe chassis commonly used on trucks. However,
manufacturers and common usage has blurred the two
terms. Many recent vehicles labelled as compact SUVs are technically
compact crossovers and are built on the platform of a compact/C-
segment passenger car.
Wheel base is 260.3 cm
Engine capacity is 1000 to 4000cc
Overall length 448.5 cm

Small SUVs in Pakistan are Kia Sportage, Hyundai Tucson, Toyota

Fortuner.

Large SUVs
A sport utility vehicle or SUV is a car classification that combines
elements of roadgoing passenger cars with features from off-road
vehicles, such as raised ground clearance and four-wheel drive.
There is no commonly agreedupon definition of an SUV, and usage of
the term varies between
countries. Some definitions claim that an SUV must be built on a light
truck chassis; however, broader definitions consider any vehicle with
off-road design features to be an SUV. A crossover
SUV is often defined as an SUV built with a unibody construction (as
with passenger cars), however, in many cases, crossovers are simply
referred to as SUVs. In some countries — such as the
United States — SUVs have been classified as "light trucks", resulting in
more lenient regulations compared to passenger cars.

Wheel base is 284.98 cm

Engine is 5700 CC to 6500 CC
Overall length of 508cm

Large SUVs in Pakistan are Toyota Landcruiser, Toyota Prado.

MPV
An MPV (Multi Purpose Vehicle), or people carrier, is typically a large
hatchback with seating for six or more. They are bigger and more
practical than regular hatchbacks like a Ford Focus, but lack the off
roading ability of an SUV like a Land Rover Discovery Sport.

Wheel base size is 295cm

Engine is 2500 to 3500cc
Overall length is 485.4cm

MPV in Pakistan are Honda Freed, Honda Shuttle, Honda BR-V.
