Sedan (car)

A sedan car, American English terminology, is the most common configuration of the modern automobile, having a, usually four-door, passenger compartment between the lower hood, covering the engine in the front, and the lower trunk at the rear.

In British English the configuration is called a saloon and has its engine under the bonnet at the front, and a boot for luggage at the rear.
