Touring car is a term used to describe a type of automobile. The two most common types of touring cars are the phaeton and the SEDAN. A phaeton is a four-wheeled, open-top vehicle with either two or four doors. It is typically powered by a gasoline engine and has seating for four or more passengers. A SEDAN is a four-door, closed-top vehicle with a fixed roof and a separate trunk. It is usually powered by a gasoline engine and has seating for five or more passengers. Both types of touring cars are designed for long-distance travel and are popular among families and business travelers.
