What Is A "Model" And What Is A "Style?"

Terms You Need To Know

So that you can shop effectively, here are a few terms you'll want to learn:

  • The Honda Accord is a "Vehicle".
  • The Sedan is one "Model" of the vehicle; the Coupe is another.
  • Each model is also available in a number of "Styles" (i.e. LX, LX-P, EX, and so on).
  • The style determines:
    • How much factory equipment is included;
    • Which upgrade options are available;
    • Which exterior colors, interior colors and seat materials are available.
