I don't care what marketing departament says, Volkswagen Arteon is NOT a sedan, neither is Kia Stinger. If rear window opens with trunk lid - the car is not a sedan. Vxctec wrote Second, what makes you think that the Model S is primarily marketed as a full-size electric sedan? Why is it's competition such as the Lucid Air, Mercedes EQS, E-Tron GT etc, come in the form of sedans only? Lucid Air is a sedan, trunk lid opens without window techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/IMG_2619.jpg Audi E-tron GT is also a sedan cdn.businesstraveller.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Audi-e-tron-boot.jpg But Mercedes EQS is actually a liftback, NOT A SEDAN www.autocar.co.uk/sites/autocar.co.uk/files/images/car-reviews/first-drives/legacy/80-mercedes-eqs-official-reveal-images-gk-boot.jpg Vxctec wrote Third and finally, what do you say about all these sites that consider the Tesla Model S practically being a sedan the way it is These sites might be simply parroting marketing BS. As I said - if the rear window is part of a trunk lid - that's NOT a sedan. Period. You can have car that looks like hatchback yet still a sedan (like Opel Kadett D or Fiat 127 - hatchback versions are more famous but sedans existed as well) upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d4/Opel_Kadett_D_mit_kurzer_Heckklappe.jpg On the other hand you can have a car like Skoda Superb III that looks like a conventional sedan (3-body styling), yet being a liftback because the trunk lid opens with the rear window. Tesla Model S doesn't even has that type of conventional 3-body styling, and the trunk opens with rear window - it is NOT a sedan. Manufacturers probably advertise cars that aren't sedans as "sedans" because that sounds more luxurious and fancy but just because marketing departament invented some mumbo-jumbo doesn't make it true.

Third and finally, what do you say about all these sites that consider the Tesla Model S practically being a sedan the way it is: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Model_S www.edmunds.com/tesla/model-s/ www.motortrend.com/cars/tesla/model-s/ To make it clear, I despise Tesla and their vehicles for various reasons and I would never buy one in real life. I don't want people to think that I am defending them in any way when I am not. However, what I'm saying is that the Model S isn't a hatchback and there is evidence to prove that. If you want to see hatchbacks then look at some examples like a Leaf, Bolt EV and so on.

Vxctec 2023-01-09 01:42	rozanoff wrote Model S is liftback, not sedan. It's still claimed as a sedan by Tesla itself and automobile websites, so it's not true that the Model S isn't a sedan considering that liftbacks can also be classified as sedans, especially since both the Model S and Model 3 fall under this category.
