There are 45 2021 Car Models, ranging from Chevrolet Camaro to Toyota Tundra. For each entry, the data are organized as Body style,Market,Powertrain (fuel, drivetrain, hp) so you can spot sedan vs. truck, which markets a model was sold in, and the engine and drivetrain specs at a glance — you’ll find below.

How should I read the Powertrain (fuel, drivetrain, hp) column?

The Powertrain column shows the fuel type (gas, diesel, hybrid, electric), the drivetrain (FWD, RWD, AWD/4WD), and horsepower so you can quickly compare performance and efficiency across trims; use that along with Body style and Market to narrow choices for your needs.

Is this list enough to decide which model to buy?

It’s a practical starting point for comparison, but verify trim availability, local specs, optional packages, and current pricing with dealers or manufacturer sites before buying, since features and powertrain options can vary by region and trim.
