Everything about Sports Sedan totally explained
A
sports sedan is a descriptive term applied to a
sedan or saloon
automobile that's designed to look and feel "sporty" - offering the driver more connection with the driving experience. Most vehicles in this category overlap with the
compact executive car classification.
The term was originally introduced in the 1930s and applied to lighter, more streamlined closed body coachwork fitted by car makers.
Rover, for example, had Sports Saloon versions of several of their models.
It was later applied by manufacturers to special versions of their vehicles that allowed them to enter production cars in motor races with extra modifications not normally permitted by the regulations. Such regulations required cars to be
homologated typically by selling them in minimum numbers to the public. Some of the earlier examples were the
Alfa Romeo Giulietta,
Triumph Dolomite and
Lotus Cortina. The term is also used for flagship cars even when they're not required for homologation. They are also known in the United States as
halo cars.

automatic transmission and
front wheel drive these types are now also to be found in the sport sedan category.
