Drivers often notice how many vehicle options they have when browsing a pre-owned car dealership. It’s helpful to narrow down the search to a specific shape to make your buying experience easier. Below are five body styles that may suit your needs.

5 Types of Pre-Owned Cars to Consider

1. Sedan

When you think of a car, you likely picture a sedan. This model features two front seats and three back seats, four doors, and excellent gas mileage. There is not much trunk space on these affordable models, but they’re great for commuting. The Toyota® Camry and Honda® Civic are common examples of sedans.

2. Truck

Those who need to move heavy items will prefer a truck. Families interested in these large vehicles may browse pre-owned car dealerships for extended-cab options that offer ample room in the backseat. Trucks are excellent at hauling RVs and boat trailers and feature a higher clearance between the wheels and the body to navigate rough roads. Dodge® Ram 1500s and Ford® F-150s are popular truck models.

3. SUV

Sports utility vehicles are one of the most popular models because they provide excellent gas mileage without sacrificing towing capacity or storage. SUVs have high ceilings and a higher center of gravity, so they’re great for tall individuals, and they may feature two or three rows of seats. Chevrolet® Equinox and Jeep® Wranglers are SUVs that offer four-wheel-drive so you can enjoy them in the city or on the open road.

4. Hatchback

Hatchbacks are utility vehicles that offer cargo space perfect for families or couples who go camping. The hatchback name comes from the trunk that has hinges at the top and swings up for optimal room.

These models have four or two doors and five seats, often with a backseat that folds down to provide additional storage space. The Toyota Prius and Ford Fiesta are popular examples of this body style. 

5. Coupe

If you’re looking for a sporty ride that’s a pleasure to drive, test out coupes at the pre-owned car dealership. These car options feature two doors and a low roof and work best for people who need room for one passenger, as many don’t have a backseat. Dodge Challengers, Chevrolet Camaros, and Ford® Mustangs are coupes.
