Our car body style search lets you compare hatchbacks, saloons, estates, SUVs, coupes, convertibles and 4x4s using detailed DriveSmart vehicle data.

You can refine your search by fuel type including petrol, diesel, hybrid and electric cars, plus gearbox type, number of seats, manufacturer and model range.

The search controls work together, allowing you to narrow the results from thousands of vehicles down to the specific type of car you want.

For example, you can search for a 7-seat hybrid SUV, an automatic electric hatchback or a diesel estate car from your preferred manufacturer.

Once the results appear you can also compare technical information including performance, fuel economy, CO2 emissions, dimensions, battery range, charging speed and equipment.

If this is the first time you've used our search engine then take a minute to read the How To Search guide or click on the "?" button on the top right of your screen.

Even if you're a veteran of our searches it may still help you to read the guide again.

How To Search

Start your search by clicking on the 'Body Style' selection button.

You'll then be asked a series of questions about what you want to search for (e.g. hatchbacks, saloons, estates, etc).

You don't need to make all of the selections - once the 'Search' button has appeared you can just use the information you have already selected.


'Body Style' Search

We can search according to the body style of the car (e.g. hatchback, saloon, coupe, etc).

And then we'll narrow down your search, asking about;

  • the fuel type (petrol, diesel, hybrid, electric, etc);
  • the type of gearbox (manual or automatic);
  • the number of seats;
  • the manufacturer and any specific model.

By narrowing down the number of cars we think you'll find a car that's closer to your needs.


Search Results

Once the search results appear you can also see additional items such as the body style, fuel economy or battery range, emissions and the performance of the car.

To see these items click on the buttons for 'BODY', 'ECONOMY', 'EMISSIONS', 'PERFORMANCE' or 'BATTERY' and check the boxes for these items to display them on screen.

The most effective way of searching is to set all your car requirements at once and then click on the 'Search' button, but you can also see the impact of changing individual search criteria as below.

Instant Search Updates

You can see the impact of changing individual search criteria on the results.

To do this click on 'Settings' at the top of the screen and in the 'Update Options' section choose 'Instant Search Update'. This will update searches every time you change each individual selection.

Keep in mind though that turning on the instant update feature will usually increase the amount of time it takes to get to the end of your search. This is because as every change is made you re-run the search.

You can also reduce the number of results displayed on each screen by changing the 'Display' in 'SETTINGS'. Choose either 'All Results' to show every vehicle or '20 vehicles per page'.
