A saloon car, referred to as a Sedan in American English, is a body style of vehicle which is exemplified by a 'three-box design' with three distinct sections.
The front of the vehicle (containing the engine), the middle (passenger compartment) and the rear (separate cargo space - the boot). That is what makes a saloon car a saloon.
Additionally, the boot lid opens independently of the rear windscreen as they are separate by design which is unique to this body style.
They are typically long, luxurious low-profile cars which offer drivers and passengers sleek interior and exterior styling and an abundance of kerb appeal.
Some of the most iconic and loved saloon cars in the UK include the sleek and sophisticated BMW 3 Series, or the no-nonsense Škoda Octavia saloon. The ever-popular Volkswagen Passat is another excellent example of saloon cars for sale at Arnold Clark that you could reserve online today for just £99.
Style and sophistication
Saloon cars are synonymous with style and sophistication, making them popular with motorists looking for an attractive vehicle which stands out on the road. You'll often find luxury interiors created with premium materials and advanced technology throughout.
Comfort and space
If you need a car that can regularly and comfortably transport four or five passengers, then a saloon is ideal. You get more head and legroom than you would in a hatchback with generous front and rear cabin space and cargo capacity.
Practicality and efficiency
Cost-effective, efficient driving is what you look for in any vehicle and with a saloon, that's exactly what you get. The agile and aerodynamic design of these cars makes for enhanced fuel economy and smooth driving, a practical and sensible choice for motorists in the market for their next car.
Safety and security
The 'three-box design' of saloon cars enhances the overall security as the boot is entirely separate and enclosed from the rest of the car. This provides a secure space for luggage, making it more difficult to access in case of theft.
Choosing a saloon means choosing a car that's design is focussed solely on its on-road performance and capability.
Being lighter than an estate or SUV means that fuel efficiency is improved and being studier and heavier than a hatchback or supermini makes for impeccable road handling on every journey.
Saloon cars are as comfortable on urban city streets as they are on rural country roads and long stretches of motorway, ideal for commuters, so you can be rest assured you're making a sensible choice if your next car is a saloon.

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.
