The convertable- A vehicle providing an open-air passenger cabin for traveling during good weather, convertibles provide the protection of a retractable roof when weather conditions turn unpleasant, it is considered an automotive lifestyle choice best suited for warmer climates.

 Van- For individuals or businesses that require a vehicle with a single large enclosed area, a van could be a leading choice for drivers. Capable of securely holding a large amount of cargo or passengers, vans are significantly styled for practicality rather than other factors such as performance

Sports car- ports cars are intent to create an atmosphere of fun for the driver on the streets or possibly on the race track. On-road performers, sports cars do not adhere stringently to any specific body style criteria allowing a driver to decide on a vehicle matching their individual tastes and lifestyle.

Luxury cars-  A luxury car is considered the peak of driving comfort and aspires to provide the most rewarding sensation of motoring. Based on the oddity and expense of early automobiles, the luxury car category was actually one of the first vehicle types established. One key element of a luxury car is their higher cost to conventional automobiles.

Hybird car- Capitalizing on the strengths and efficiencies of two powerplants, hybrid cars have emerged as an important vehicle class. Hybrid cars generally operate with an internal combustion engine and electric motor working together in order to gain greater fuel economy or to boost power. Electric power for hybrid cars is sourced from power outlets or through regenerative braking.
