Is the standard configuration considered mid-range or low-range?

Standard configuration is neither mid-range nor low-range. Here is the relevant content introduction: 1. Low-range: Meets the most basic needs, with the minimum and simplest configurations, and the price is also reduced accordingly, lacking auxiliary functions. 2. Standard configuration: Standard equipment, includes some normal and common auxiliary functions, such as air conditioning, power windows, etc. 3. Mid-range: More comprehensive auxiliary functions, on the basis of the standard configuration, may include additional features such as leather seats, power seats, navigation, etc. Many mid-range models also start to include automatic transmissions, and multi-function steering wheels are also commonly seen in many mid-range models.
I encountered this issue when buying a car before, and many friends are curious about what exactly the standard configuration entails. In most cases, the standard configuration is essentially the base model provided by the manufacturer, which includes the most basic features such as manual air conditioning, a standard radio, fabric seats, etc. However, there can be significant differences between brands. For example, Japanese cars like the Toyota Yaris have quite practical standard configurations, being fuel-efficient and durable, while American cars like the Ford Focus may offer slightly stronger safety features as standard. The true mid-range models usually add extras like a navigation system or alloy wheels, but at a higher price. As an average consumer, I recommend checking the official website's configuration list or asking the dealer during a test drive to understand the details of the standard configuration, to avoid spending unnecessary money on upgrades later. Although the standard configuration is a lower starting point, it can save money when entering the entry-level model.
