The automobile layout describes where on the vehicle the engine and drive wheels are found. 
Many different combinations of engine location and driven wheels are found in practice, and the location of each is dependent on the application the vehicle will be used for. 
Factors influencing the design choice include cost, complexity, reliability, packaging (location and size of the passenger compartment and boot), weight distribution and the vehicle's intended handling characteristics.
