A car is a wheeled vehicle that provides transportation for a person. It is typically a motor vehicle driven by an external power source such as gas or electricity. The word car was originally applied to vehicles that horses pulled. The first motor car appeared around 1886. Today, various models are available in the market, like sedans, sports cars, hatchbacks, vintage vehicles and coupes. A car may be powered by petrol, diesel or electricity. Many modern vehicles are not only eco-friendly but also powerful and look cool.
Sedans are standard vehicles with four or five seats and are usually used by a family to carry family members places. These vehicles feature an engine positioned in the front with a transmission connected to the rear wheels. The most well-known sedans include the Ford Taurus, Toyota Camry, Chevrolet Impala and Pontiac Grand Prix.
Coupes are compact, two-seat vehicles with an all-around cabin to ensure it is safe for the driver. It is a relatively older vehicle as it was introduced around the 1940s. It was popular in the '50s and '60s because of its low cost. Today, it has been replaced by the sedan. It is still used widely as a sports car.
Electric vehicles are also available in the market but are still less common. They can be charged on a standard battery charger or with a small power station. The main advantage of electric vehicles is that they do not require fuel and are eco-friendly. Some of the new electric vehicle models in the market today include the Rivian R1S, Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo, Audi e-tron Sportback and Volvo XC40 Recharge.
A luxury car is a vehicle that provides comfort and style. The wealthy segment of society mainly uses them as they are more expensive than regular vehicles.
