Sedans, SUVs, and MPVs differ in the following ways: Sedan: Features: Sedans are the most common and traditional type of vehicle, designed to be low-profile and agile, and are further divided into three-box and two-box models. Target audience: Compared to SUVs and MPVs, sedans have a lower center of gravity, making them more agile and suitable for urban roads. Additionally, with the same engine displacement, sedans are lighter, resulting in lower fuel consumption. SUV: Features: SUV stands for Sports Utility Vehicle in Chinese, commonly described as a "raised" sedan. Therefore, SUVs have a higher center of gravity, with more spacious interiors and better visibility. Target audience: SUVs have higher ground clearance, making them preferable for driving on muddy roads compared to sedans. Moreover, if family members are larger in size, an SUV with more spacious interiors can be prioritized. MPV: Features: MPVs are relatively niche compared to sedans and SUVs, with their biggest feature being passenger capacity. Generally, an MPV can seat seven people, while SUVs and sedans accommodate five. Due to their longer bodies and flexible seating arrangements, MPVs also offer considerable cargo space. Target audience: For family use, MPVs are ideal for large families, allowing everyone to travel together in one vehicle. They are also indispensable for commercial use. If work or business requires transporting goods or multiple people, an MPV is the best choice.

Is Subaru a horizontally opposed engine?

Subaru is a horizontally opposed engine. In a horizontally opposed engine, the pistons are evenly distributed on either side of the crankshaft and move left and right in a horizontal direction. This design lowers the overall height of the engine, shortens its length, and reduces the vehicle's center of gravity, resulting in smoother driving. The engine is mounted on the vehicle's central axis, and the torque generated by the pistons on both sides cancels each other out, significantly reducing vibrations during driving. This allows the engine to achieve higher RPMs and reduces noise. The Subaru Forester has dimensions of 4560mm in length, 1780mm in width, and 1700mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2615mm. The Subaru Forester features all-wheel drive, with a front suspension type of MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension type of double-wishbone independent suspension.
