Since Mercedes offers 11 different Sedans, I’d like to know – What is a Sedan exactly?
Monday, July 21st, 2008The word sedan is likely derived from the Italian sedia “chair” derived from the root “sed-” from the Latin “sella” – the traditional name for a carried chair. In America the term sedan equates with the British term saloon.
The sedan is one of the most common automobile body styles.
A Mercedes sedan would seat four or more people and has a fixed roof that is full-height up to the rear window with fixed “B” pillar side window frames (as opposed to the hardtop style without a “B” pillar and where the sash winds down with the glass)
It has two rows of seats with enough space in the back seats for adult passengers and a separate trunk.
Several versions of the body style include four-door, two-door, and fastback models.
A a “three-box” design is the most common – meaning an engine compartment, a passenger compartment and a trunk compartment.
The fatsback model is a two box design where the trunk is in the rear portion of the passenger compartment.
