What is a "rear end"?
A rear end is the back portion of a vehicle, including the bumper, taillights, trunk, and rear axle. It helps protect the vehicle's internal components and provides space for storage, such as in the trunk or cargo area. The rear end also plays a role in the vehicle’s safety, as it absorbs impact in case of a rear-end collision. The design of the rear end can influence the vehicle’s aerodynamics, stability, and appearance. It is an important part of the vehicle's overall structure and functionality.
Examples
The rear end of the car was badly damaged in the collision, requiring extensive repairs.
