In this video, we will discuss some of the most important car specifications you should know before purchasing.

Length of the vehicle: The length of the car is straightforward to calculate. It measures a vehicle from the front tip to the rear. It is commonly denoted in millimeters. The length of the car majorly affects the handling and stability. It can also impact the amount of interior and trunk space available.

Width: Another important dimension to consider is the width of a car.

Height: The car's height is measured from its lowest point, where the tires touch the road, to the tallest point on its roof.

Wheelbase: The wheelbase is defined as the distance between the centers of the car’s front wheel and rear wheel. Usually, a longer wheelbase means a longer vehicle cabin, which means more interior room for passengers and cargo.

Ground Clearance: Ground clearance is the least distance between the lower end of the vehicle body and the road. It is measured in millimeters or inches.

Engine: An engine is a machine that converts fuel into energy, which is used to power the car and make it move.

Engine Size or Engine Displacement: Engine size refers to the total volume of the engine's cylinders. Car engine sizes are generally specified in CC cubic capacity or in liters.

Transmission: Your car’s transmission or gearbox as it is commonly known, is one of the most important components in the engine. The gearbox is of two primary types, automatic and manual, as most of you are probably familiar with.

Drivetrain: The system that transfers power from the gearbox to the car axles is called the drivetrain. This includes the transmission, driveshaft, differential, axles, and wheels.

Suspension: The suspension system in a vehicle is a mechanical system that connects the wheels and tires to the car's body and frame. Its purpose is to absorb shocks and vibrations from the road, providing a smooth and comfortable ride while also improving the handling and stability of the vehicle.

Brakes (Type and Size): Brakes are a crucial component of a vehicle's safety system. They allow the driver to slow down or stop the vehicle by converting the moving vehicle's kinetic energy into heat energy. Brake types are divided into two broad categories, disc, and drum.
