How many levels are there for cars?
2 Answers
Generally, cars are classified into six levels: A00, A0, A, B, C, and D. Below is a related introduction to car classifications: According to the German car classification standard: A00 refers to micro passenger cars, A0 to small passenger cars, A to compact passenger cars, B to mid-size passenger cars, C to mid-large passenger cars, and D to large passenger cars. The classification is mainly based on parameters such as wheelbase, engine displacement, and weight. The further the letter is in the alphabet, the longer the wheelbase, the larger the displacement and weight, and the higher the luxury level of the passenger car. According to the Chinese car classification standard: In China, A00, A0, A, B, C, and D are generally referred to as micro cars, small cars, compact cars, mid-size cars, mid-large cars, and large cars, respectively.
When it comes to car classifications, I've encountered many vehicles in daily life. I've driven an A-segment microcar, which was compact yet highly fuel-efficient and convenient for city parking. Later, due to work requirements, I switched to a B-segment compact car with some family-oriented features. Then I upgraded to a C-segment model, offering more comfortable seating. Occasionally, I've driven friends' D-segment or E-segment cars, which exude luxury. Generally, cars are divided into five basic segments: A-segment refers to microcars, B-segment to subcompacts, C-segment to compacts, D-segment to midsize, and E-segment and above to full-size luxury vehicles. Additionally, there are specialized classifications like SUVs and sports cars, which are more about body types than strict segment distinctions. The classification primarily depends on size and price – smaller segment cars offer better handling but limited space, while higher segments are more expensive but provide greater comfort and safety. Before purchasing, it's advisable to test drive different segments based on your budget and needs, looking beyond just appearance as safety features are more crucial.
