Car types by size
Since the beginning of the automotive industry, vehicle sizes and purposes have varied from company to company and country to country. Cars are now available in many types, shapes, and categories that meet the needs of all consumers in terms of price, fuel consumption, storage capacity, and more.
The variety of car types is very important for consumers so that they have options that suit them, their lifestyle, their work, and the purpose for which they want the car. Some people want small, economical cars, some want pickup trucks to carry their equipment, and others want family four-wheel-drive vehicles.
For this reason, car companies are now focusing on manufacturing the most popular and widely used types of cars among consumers, providing technology in these cars while taking into account the most important safety and comfort features, in addition to competitive prices.
