Styling forms include the following:
Saloon: The most popular style for passenger vehicles is the two -
door or four-door saloon. It has a fully enclosed, fixed-roof body

or boot compartment.
Hatchback: This body style is identified by its characteristic
sloping rear tailgate, which is classed as one of the three or five
doors. With the rear doors down there is no division between the
passenger and luggage compartments and this increases the luggage
carrying capacity of the vehicle.

lowered.

interiors.
