Used saloon cars for sale

The main differences between a hatchback and saloon are their physical appearance and build. A saloon car is longer than a hatchback and offer passengers and the driver more space inside, a larger boot and sometimes more seats depending on the model you pick.

Another key difference between the two is the way in which the boot opens. Typically, in a saloon, the boot lid opens independently of the rear windscreen as they are separate by design. Whereas a hatchback's boot and windscreen open together as one.

Additionally, as saloon cars tend to be larger than hatchbacks, they are often more expensive than a hatchback. But again, this depends largely on the make and model you choose.

Saloon cars and coupé cars differ by design, performance and practicality. Saloon cars will typically have four doors, compared to coupés which sometimes only have two doors.

With stylish sloping roofs and focus on aerodynamics and performance, coupé cars tend to offer less interior and cargo space than saloons. Therefore, if you are in the market for something more practical for families or business use, then a saloon is a great option.

A saloon car is also known as a sedan in other countries outside of the UK like the USA. The word 'Sedan' comes from American English. Thus, there is no difference between a sedan and saloon - same body style, different names.

Depending on the model of saloon you choose, you may find it does not have rear windscreen wipers.

This is due to aerodynamics and streamlined design of saloon rear windscreens allowing air to flow over it smoothly. This airflow helps to remove water or debris which reduces the need for a rear wiper on some saloon models.
