This article is about the type of car. For other uses of Sedan, see Sedan (disambiguation)

A sedan car, American English terminology, is one of the most common configurations of the modern automobile, having a usually four-door passenger compartment between the lower hood – covering the engine in the front, and the lower trunk at the rear.

In British English the configuration is called a saloon and has its engine under the bonnet at the front, and a boot for luggage at the rear.

In Australia and New Zealand, the American usage is now generally followed. In other languages sedans are known as Limousine ( German), Berline ( French), Berlina ( Italian).
