Engine: The heart of the car, which converts fuel (petrol, diesel, or electricity) into motion.
Internal Combustion Engine (ICE): Uses gasoline or diesel fuel to generate power through controlled explosions within cylinders.
Electric Motor: Uses electricity stored in batteries to generate power.
Transmission: Transfers power from the engine to the wheels.
Manual Transmission: Requires the driver to manually shift gears.
Automatic Transmission: Automatically shifts gears based on speed and engine load.
Chassis: The frame of the car that supports all other components.
Monocoque (Unibody): Integrates the body and chassis into a single unit.
Body-on-Frame: Has a separate frame and body, typically used in trucks and SUVs.
Suspension: Ensures a smooth ride by absorbing shocks from the road.
Independent Suspension: Each wheel moves independently.
Solid Axle Suspension: Wheels are connected via a solid beam.
Brakes: Used to slow down or stop the car.
Disc Brakes: Use calipers to squeeze pairs of pads against a disc.
Drum Brakes: Use brake shoes that press outward against a spinning drum.
Steering System: Allows the driver to control the direction of the car.
Rack and Pinion: Common in most cars for direct steering feel.
Power Steering: Uses hydraulic or electric assistance to make steering easier.
Features:
Safety:
Airbags: Deploy in a crash to protect occupants.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS): Prevents wheels from locking during braking.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC): Helps prevent skidding.
Comfort and Convenience:
Climate Control: Regulates temperature inside the car.
Infotainment System: Provides entertainment and navigation features.
Seating and Upholstery: Varies from basic fabric seats to luxurious leather.
Performance:
Horsepower and Torque: Measures of the engine’s power and rotational force.
Acceleration and Top Speed: Indicators of a car’s performance capabilities.
Fuel Efficiency:
Miles per Gallon (MPG): Measures how far a car can travel on a gallon of fuel.
Electric Range: Distance an electric vehicle (EV) can travel on a full charge.
Technology:
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS): Includes features like adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and automatic emergency braking.
Connectivity: Integration with smartphones and other devices for navigation, calls, and media.
Types of Cars:
Sedans: Typically have four doors and a separate trunk.
Hatchbacks: Have a rear door that swings upward to provide access to the cargo area.
SUVs (Sport Utility Vehicles): Larger vehicles with higher ground clearance.
Coupes: Two-door cars with a sporty appearance.
Convertibles: Cars with a retractable roof.
Trucks: Designed for hauling and towing, often with a separate cargo bed.
Vans: Larger vehicles designed for carrying passengers or cargo.
Powertrains:
Conventional (ICE): Uses petrol or diesel engines.
Hybrid: Combines an internal combustion engine with an electric motor.
Electric Vehicles (EVs): Powered entirely by electricity
