személygép

A személygép, commonly translated as passenger car or automobile, is a wheeled motor vehicle used for transporting passengers. Typically, it has four wheels and is designed to run on roads. The term "személygépkocsi" is also frequently used in Hungarian to denote the same type of vehicle.

These vehicles are powered by an internal combustion engine or, increasingly, by electric motors. They vary widely in size, from small city cars to larger SUVs and luxury sedans, accommodating different numbers of passengers and cargo capacities. Personal ownership of a személygép is a widespread phenomenon globally, providing individuals with a means of private transportation for commuting, travel, and leisure.

The design and functionality of a személygép have evolved significantly since their invention. Early models were basic, but modern passenger cars incorporate advanced safety features, sophisticated infotainment systems, and efficient powertrains. Regulations concerning emissions, fuel economy, and safety standards continue to shape the development and production of these vehicles. The automotive industry, which manufactures személygép, is a major global economic force, employing millions and driving technological innovation.
