Személygépjárm

A személygépjárm, or passenger car, is a wheeled motor vehicle used for transporting passengers. Typically, it has four wheels and is designed to carry between two and eight people, including the driver. The term is widely used in Hungarian and encompasses a broad category of vehicles from small hatchbacks to larger sedans and SUVs.

Passenger cars are characterized by their primary function of personal transportation, distinguishing them from larger vehicles like buses or trucks, which are designed for mass transit or cargo hauling. They are powered by internal combustion engines, electric motors, or a combination of both (hybrid). Modern passenger cars are equipped with various safety features such as airbags, seatbelts, and anti-lock braking systems (ABS) to protect occupants.

The design and features of passenger cars vary greatly depending on their intended use, market segment, and manufacturer. They range from economical and fuel-efficient models to luxury vehicles offering advanced comfort and performance. The development of the passenger car has had a profound impact on society, revolutionizing personal mobility, urban planning, and global trade. Their widespread ownership has also led to significant environmental considerations, driving innovation in areas like emissions reduction and alternative fuel technologies.
