About
A typical passenger car is a four-wheeled road vehicle that measures about 15 feet long and weighs over 3,000 pounds.
Vehicle sizes vary widely, from compact microcars to full-size pickup trucks and large SUVs that can exceed 19 feet (5.8 m) in length. A typical sedan sits relatively low to the ground, reaching below chest height on an average adult. While heavy enough to require specialized machinery to lift, cars are much lighter than commercial freight trucks, which can weigh ten to twenty times more.
From Wikipedia
A car, or an automobile, is a motor vehicle with wheels. Most definitions of cars state that they run primarily on roads, seat 1–8 people, have four wheels, and mainly transport people rather than cargo.
