About sedan vehicles
There are different editions of sedan such as two-door, four-door, and fastback. Sedan cars can seat 4 or more passengers in its two lines of seats. Comprising of two or on certain occasions, four doors, a sedan features a separate luggage compartment in its backside. This implies that there are separate compartments for engine, passenger, and luggage. There is sufficient space in the backside compartment for accommodating adult passengers. Normally, the cargo compartment is on the back, except for some models with engine in the rear such as Tatra T613, Renault Dauphine, Chevrolet Corvair, and Volkswagen Type 3. It is one of the most familiar car bodywork patterns.
There is a permanent roof for a sedan, the height of which is equal to the rear window. The configuration of the roof will usually have a permanent B-column on sedan models.
