English term or phrase: tube look

These are some subtitles for a corporative video, I'm not sure what the car parts terms are, given that there's no more context or images, I am not sure what it's talking about. I tried to find on the net but to no avail, I hope experts in this field could give me a hand on certain terms in TRADITIONAL CHINESE (there are some more questions in the new threads):

Many thanks in advance.

管狀/管形

Explanation:
slot look是「槽狀」，tube look自然就是「管狀」。

我覺得這裡的「槽狀」/「管狀」寫為「槽形」/「管形」也可以。

unlike the normal tube look
you see on a lot of vehicles today.

(接上)
與現今在各種車輛上經常可以看到的管狀不同。

My understanding is, "tube" and "slot" are not automobile terms. They are simply general words used in this context to describe how it looks inside.

slot look: long + rectangular (maybe deep and narrow) in the section + (possibly) open on top
tube look: long + round or rectangular in the section + (possibly) closed on top
They are general words. I think you know they look differently even without my explanation.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Thank you for your answers Ibone. I know "tube like" is translated as 管狀 usually but my problem is that I am not familiar with cars, so i don't know what part they meant is "tube like"? the reference you searched on google is about 管狀, but what I'm not sure is they part of the car they're talking about. I need to understand the whole image in order to translate these texts. Thanks.
