1 Answers
According to the classification standards for car classes: Class A (including A0/A00) refers to compact cars, Class B refers to mid-size cars, Class C refers to premium cars, and Class D refers to luxury cars. The classification is mainly based on parameters such as wheelbase, engine displacement, and weight. The further the letter in the alphabet, the longer the wheelbase, the larger the displacement and weight, and the higher the luxury level of the car. Below are the detailed descriptions: 1. A00 Class: The wheelbase of an A00-class car 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. 2. A0 Class: The wheelbase of an A0-class car is between 2.2 meters and 2.3 meters, with a displacement of 1 to 1.3 liters. A typical example is the hatchback Xiali. Generally, Class A cars have a wheelbase ranging from 2.3 meters to 2.45 meters and a displacement of about 1.3 to 1.6 liters. The FAW-Volkswagen Jetta and Shanghai Volkswagen POLO are considered stars among Class A cars. 3. B Class: Mid-size Class B cars have a wheelbase of about 2.45 meters to 2.6 meters and a displacement from 1.6 liters to 2.4 liters. In recent years, the Class B car market has gradually become the main battleground for domestic car manufacturers. Models such as the Audi A4, Passat, Zhonghua, and Eastar all belong to the Class B category. 4. C Class: Premium Class C cars have a wheelbase of about 2.6 meters to 2.8 meters and an engine displacement of 2.3 to 3.0 liters. The most famous Class C car in China is undoubtedly the Audi A6. 5. D Class: Most luxury Class D cars have a majestic appearance, extremely spacious interiors, and very powerful engines. Their wheelbase is generally more than 2.8 meters, and the displacement is mostly above 3.0 liters. Currently, common Class D cars include models from brands such as the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, BMW 7 Series, Audi A8, Rolls-Royce, and Bentley.
