Sedan

A sedan (or otherwise known as a saloon in Europe) is a body type available on most cars, predominantly in the mid-size to full-size range. The body type consist of an elongated trunk portion that juts out of the rear of the passenger compartment and is generally the same height as the front compartment holding the engine. Contrary to a wagon or a hatchback, a sedan offers little vertical storing space. Although, advantages of the sedan include lighter weight and lower price due to less material being needed to make a trunk. Because of this, the sedan has managed to supplant the wagon and hatchback in the american market. Otherwise, the sedan does not fare as well against the wagons and hatchbacks in Europe.
