The model of a car refers to the specific design, technology, components, underpinnings, style, and appearance of a vehicle within the manufacturers range or series of cars. It distinguishes one vehicle from another within the same make or brand. Different models can have various body styles, trim levels, and platform options, and they may be marketed under different names in different countries. The model year is also an important consideration, as it indicates the design changes and is grouped into generations. The make of a car refers to the brand or company, while the model indicates a specific version or variation.
