1 Answers
According to the classification standards for vehicles: Class A (including A0/A00) refers to compact cars, Class B refers to mid-size cars, and Class C refers to premium cars. The classification is mainly based on parameters such as wheelbase, engine displacement, and weight. The further the letter sequence, the longer the wheelbase, the larger the displacement and weight, and the higher the luxury level of the car. A-class cars are divided into three categories. Among them, A00 can also be called micro cars. The wheelbase of A00-class cars should be between 2 meters and 2.2 meters, with an engine displacement of less than 1 liter. For example, the Alto belongs to the A00-class car. The wheelbase of A0-class cars is between 2.2 meters and 2.3 meters, with a displacement of 1 to 1.3 liters, typically represented by the hatchback Xiali. Generally, the wheelbase of A-class cars ranges from about 2.3 meters to 2.45 meters, with a displacement of about 1.3 to 1.6 liters. The Jetta from FAW-Volkswagen and the POLO from SAIC Volkswagen are considered classic models in the A-class category. B-class mid-size cars have a wheelbase of about 2.45 meters to 2.6 meters, with a displacement ranging from 1.6 liters to 2.4 liters. Models such as the Audi A4, Passat, Zhonghua, and Eastar all belong to the B-class category. C-class premium cars have a wheelbase of about 2.6 meters to 2.8 meters, with an engine displacement of 2.3 to 3.0 liters. The main C-class car is the Audi A6. D-class classification: D-class luxury cars are mostly large in size, with spacious interiors and powerful engines. Their wheelbase is generally more than 2.8 meters, and the displacement is mostly above 3.0 liters. Common D-class cars include the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, BMW 7 Series, Audi A8, Rolls-Royce, and Bentley.
