A car platform (automobile platform) is shared common design and production over different models and types of automobiles. They may be sold under different names or "marques".[2]
Cars on the same platform generally share look and wheelbase; the Toyota Camry shares a 2,776 mm (109.3 in) wheelbase with the Lexus ES[1]
It is done by the automotive industry to save the costs of development by basing the products on a smaller number of platforms. This allows companies to create distinct models from similar underpinnings.[2] It is also done with commercial vehicles like trucks and vans.
