Body Style Guide for Our Toyota Cars Dealership

The number of different choices available at our Toyota cars dealership can be very overwhelming but considering body style can help you narrow down your options. If you’re searching for a car with a smaller profile but still has enough room for extra passengers and more cargo, you’ll likely consider sedans, hatchbacks, and crossovers among others.

Our team at Toyota Chula Vista has put together this comparison guide to help you choose.

What is a Sedan?

A sedan is likely the first body style that comes to your mind when you think of a standard car. These cars have a three-segment design with four doors and similarly styled front and rear segments, offering a lightweight design for easy maneuvering in any scenario.

While larger sedan options do exist, most of the time these cars are smaller than hatchbacks and crossovers and offer less cargo space for your essentials. If you need fuel efficiency and performance more than anything, consider a sedan like the Toyota Camry.

What is a Hatchback?

Hatchbacks are usually larger versions of sedans that include a fifth door, referred to as the “hatch”, that give you access to a larger third segment that combines the trunk with the cabin.

The biggest benefit of hatchbacks is their blend of a smaller profile and more storage space and flexibility than a sedan. Toyota hatchback vehicles are usually not as powerful as sedans, but if you’re a city driver they’re usually the best option available.

What is a Crossover?

Crossovers are the ultimate option for those who need flexibility and space for their entire family, combining the benefits of a smaller SUV with the strength of a sedan and the capacity of a hatchback.

These excellent vehicles, like the Toyota RAV4, often have a perfect balance between street and off-road performance, but they normally serve as a jack-of-all-trades vehicle. If you need a perfect blend of the features mentioned throughout this guide, consider a crossover.
