TYPES OF CARS


Hatchback

Hatchback Car Type
Hatchbacks feature a rear door, swinging upwards and providing convenient access to cargo space. Three and five-door options are available. The size of hatchback cars may vary form tiny city cars to large liftbacks. In most cases hatchbacks are powered by economical engines, but hot hatches are also available.
This type of cars is most popular in Europe, where the parking space is extremely limited, and fuel prices are very high. Also, hatchbacks are very practical as the second row seats can be folded down, creating a solid cargo space with convenient access through the rear door. Volkswagen Golf, Ford Focus and Mini are the examples of this car type.

Sedan

Sedan Car Type
Sedan is a type of car body that features three-box layout, with separate engine compartment, passenger cabin and cargo trunk. Sedans are purposed for people transportation and are not particularly suited for cargo carriage as their trunks typically feature a narrow opening and limited space. At the same time, sedans generally have some advantage in comfort over other car types courtesy of isolated cabin, often offering better soundproofing.
Sedans differ in size and class, which leads to further classification, including mid-size, full size, executive, luxury and sports sedans. Sedan is one of the most popular types of cars all over the world, including such automotive giants as United States, China and Russia. Toyota Camry, BMW 5-series, Chevrolet Malibu are classic sedans.

Wagon

Wagon Car Type
Typically built on sedan platform, state wagon is basically an extended hatchback, featuring a larger cargo space. Wagons provide the same cabin space as sedans, although may feature an increased head space for rear seat passengers courtesy of extended roof.
At the same time, wagons may provide huge trunk space, easily accessible through rear door. Upon folding down the rear seat row, wagons may offer transportation ability similar to that of vans. Famous wagons include Volvo XC70, Volkswagen Passant Wagon, Audi A4 Avant.

Crossover

Crossover Car Type
Crossover is a new car body type that combines the traits of true SUVs and regular hatchbacks. Typically built or car platforms, crossovers usually feature an increased ground clearance, larger wheels.
They may also be equipped with plastic body parts to give an off-road image. Although crossovers may feature four-wheel drive system, they are mainly built for public roads. Popular crossovers include Toyota RAV4, Acura MDX and Renault Captur.

SUV

SUV Car Type
Terms SUV and crossover are often confused as these body types have a lot in common, namely increased ground clearance, large wheels, aggressive exterior design. However, SUVs provide better off-road abilities as they are typically built on sturdy chassis, often borrowed from light trucks, have four-wheel drive and brutal design.
Designed for rough off-road use, today they often serve representative function, never leaving public roads. Jeep Cherokee, Range Rover and Mitsubishi Pajero/Montero are the examples of SUVs.

Truck

Truck Car Type
Trucks are utility vehicles typically used for commercial purposes. They feature a passenger cabin, either two-door or four-door, and an open cargo space with low sides and loading gate at the back. They are generally equipped with all-wheel drive system and provide outstanding off road performance and towing capabilities.
Trucks are extremely popular in the United States, Middle East and other regions with the need for rural activity. The most popular trucks include Ford F-150, which has been the best-selling vehicle in the USA since 1982, Toyota Hilux/Tacoma, Chevrolet Silverado.

Van/MPV

Van Car Type
Vans, minivans and MPVs are all primarily designed for comfortable transportation of people. Commercial vans only feature the front seat row, with the remaining space used for cargo.
This class of vehicles ranges from small MPVs, such as Renault Scenic, to minivans and vans, such as Dodge Caravan or legendary Volkswagen Type 2.

Sports Car

Sports Car Type
A sports car is a small, two-door car, often two-seater, featuring exquisite design, powerful drivetrain for enhanced performance and sharp steering for great handling. These cars are usually expensive and purchased as second or third cars for entertaining rides.
Regular sports cars can are designed for public roads, but can also be upgraded for racing purposes. There is no other car class where manufacturers can implement all of the achievements and best technologies available. Sports cars vary from economical Mazda MX-5/Miata to posh Porsche 911 and incredible Bugatti Veyron valued at millions of dollars.

Coupe

Coupe Car Type
Coupe is a two-door body type, typically based on full-size sedan sharing the same platform. Coupes feature two-seat cabin or four-seat cabin with limited space in the rear row. The term coupe comes from the French definition of a cut carriage.
Coupe models often feature top of the range trim level and engines. However, their main distinction from regular sedans is edgy design. Many sports cars have a coupe body, combining design and performance-oriented drivetrain. Honda Civic Coupe, BMW 3-Series Coupe and Ford Mustang are the examples of coupes.

Convertible

Convertible Car Type
A convertible, also known as cabriolet, features a retractable roof. They are particularly suited for a driver and one passenger, although rear seats are sometimes available too. There are different types of retractable roofs, including folding textile roof, detachable hardtop or retractable hardtop. The latter is becoming increasingly popular in the world of stylish convertible cars. Cadillac Eldorado, Porsche Boxter, Jaguar XK are the examples.
Car manufacturers from all over the world introduce new models and body types to attract new customers. New models often feature blends of styles and classes and it is often difficult to tell one body type from another. However, classic car designs, such as a sedan, hatchback or truck will always be there and the iconic models representing different classes will also be remembered.

It is important to pick up the symptoms of a problematic engine and engine problem diagnosis by expert mechanics before the car suddenly stops functioning. Take a look at some of the most common engine problems:

The Engine Won’t Start

It’s the most common engine-related problem that car owners face frequently. If the problem is with the battery, the engine will make a clicking sound but won’t crank. On the other hand, a car with fuel or ignition problem will crank but won’t start. Some of the reasons for which an engine won’t start are discharged battery, corroded battery cables, faulty fuel pump, blocked fuel filter, ignition switch breakdown, and failure of starter motor relay.

ACTIONS Vocabulary:  Run, climb, eat, fly…so on Grammar:   It was the third class of the last period. I was impressed because until now I realized that we had changed, I mean we are not the same students that started the semester. We are focusing in being good teachers and how to keep the attention of our students in us. The class started with Raul which got my attention because he demonstrated that he is a good teacher. He started with a warm up in which he sang the “Hello” song· He asked SS to do different movements according what he was doing. For example, when he said “happy” they had to jump in order to demonstrate how happy they were. I loved the way that he did it because he did it many times in order to internalize the new hello version song.  Also he did clear instructions. After the warm up.
