Does the body width include the rearview mirrors?
1 Answers
Body width does not include rearview mirrors. Body width is defined as: the distance between the two extreme points in the width direction of the vehicle, which is the distance between the leftmost and rightmost protruding points of the body. According to industry-standard rules, body width does not include the extended width of the left and right rearview mirrors, meaning the most protruding points should be selected after the mirrors are folded. For some vehicles, the body serves as both the driver's workspace and the space for carrying passengers and cargo. The body includes components such as windows, doors, the driver's compartment, passenger compartment, engine compartment, and luggage compartment. Body designs can vary and include styles like box-type, fish-type, boat-type, streamlined, and wedge-type, with structural forms categorized into single-compartment, two-compartment, and three-compartment types.
