Why Are Cars Designed with a Lower Front and Higher Rear?

[MacGabriel]

Cars are designed with a lower front and higher rear to better conform to aerodynamics and reduce wind resistance. When a car travels at high speed, the path of air passing over the top of the car is longer than the path passing underneath. This results in faster airflow and lower pressure above the car, while the airflow underneath is slower and the pressure higher. Modern cars adopt a wedge shape with a lower front and higher rear, allowing the airflow over the sloped surface to generate downward pressure, improving the car's contact with the ground. The exterior design, paint, and color of a car create the first visual impression and directly influence people's perception of the vehicle. These elements are also crucial competitive factors in the automotive market and play a significant role in car design.
