Question

Why is the term ‘Cabriolet’ used for a car?

(a) Because of non-foldable roof

(b) Because of foldable roof

(c) Because it is a coupe

(d) Because it has Higher ground clearance

The question was asked during an internship interview.

My question is taken from Automobiles Classification topic in chapter Introduction of Automobile Engineering

Answer 1

The correct choice is (b) Because of foldable roof

To elaborate: A cabriolet means ‘a car with a foldable roof.’ So a cabriolet may have any

number of seats and it may have higher ground clearance but it should have a foldable roof. Coupe cars have a fixed roof and two doors.
