Morphology

carlike = car (transparent) = car + like

The adjective is directly formed by attaching the productive suffix '-like' to the noun 'car' meaning 'resembling a car'.

Etymology

Carlike comes from car and the ending -like, where -like means 'similar to'. So, carlike is used for anything that looks or moves 'like' a car, which is why we call a design or action 'carlike' when it reminds us of a real car.
