How are cars classified by level?
2 Answers
Cars are classified by level based on their wheelbase and engine displacement. Here are the specific methods for classification: 1. A00-class cars have a wheelbase between 2000mm and 2200mm, with an engine displacement of 1L or less. 2. A0-class cars have a wheelbase between 2300mm and 2450mm, with an engine displacement between 1L and 1.6L. 3. A-class cars have a wheelbase between 2450mm and 2600mm, with an engine displacement between 1.6L and 2.0L. 4. B-class cars have a wheelbase between 2600mm and 2750mm, with an engine displacement between 1.8L and 2.4L. 5. C-class cars have a wheelbase between 2800mm and 3000mm, with an engine displacement between 2.3L and 3.0L. 5. D-class cars have a wheelbase greater than 2800mm, with an engine displacement above 3.0L.
I've discussed car classifications many times with friends. Car levels are mainly based on size, purpose, and price. The most common are small cars like A00 class, such as the QQ, which are super fuel-efficient and easy to park, perfect for city commuting; compact cars like A-class, such as the Civic and Golf, offer stable handling and are economical for family use; mid-size B-class cars like the Camry and Accord provide spacious and comfortable interiors; large C-class and D-class cars, such as the 5 Series and A6, belong to the business and luxury categories, offering safety and comfort; SUVs are divided into compact SUVs, mid-size SUVs, and large SUVs like the Highlander and Prado, which are practical for off-roading with their high ground clearance; MPVs like the GL8 are ideal for large families or group outings; sports cars are purely about performance and excitement. Different classes offer different driving experiences—small cars are nimble, while large cars are more stable—so choose based on personal preference and budget, and don’t just go for a big car if it makes parking difficult. With the trend toward eco-friendliness, electric vehicles are also categorized, from entry-level models like the Hongguang MINI with short range and affordability to high-end luxury models like Tesla with strong tech features. I think understanding these classifications helps in choosing a car based on daily needs—like a small car for commuting or an SUV for trips—avoiding impulsive purchases and wasting money.
