  • What does body style mean for a car?
    Body style refers to the shape, size, and design of a car, which determine various attributes such as interior space, seating, number of doors, and the layout of the engine and gearbox. It is a way of categorizing cars into different types, such as SUVs, sedans, hatchbacks, coupes, etc.
  • How can I find out the body style of my car?
    You can find out the body style of your car by checking the V5C (vehicle logbook), where it will state the exact body style. Alternatively, you can visit any free car check website or decode the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) online to determine the body style.
  • How often do car manufacturers change body styles?
    Car manufacturers rarely change the body style of a specific model. However, they refresh or update models every four to seven years, with both mechanical and design refinements. In between major updates, car makers also release mild facelifts and mid-cycle updates with minor changes to improve the model. Additionally, manufacturers may introduce different body style versions of the same car to expand their market presence.
  • Does the body style of a car affect its price?
    Yes, the body style of a car affects its price. For instance, SUVs tend to be more expensive than hatchbacks because they are larger, resulting in more body parts and mechanical components. Generally, smaller body styles such as hatchbacks and compact SUVs are more affordable, although this is not true for all models.
  • How many styles of car are there?
    There are numerous body styles of cars available today. Some of the mainstream body styles include hatchback, sedan/saloon, SUV, estate, coupe, convertible, MPV, crossover, and pickup. There are also some less common body styles, such as sedan coupes and SUV coupes.
