What are the dimensions of a car?

Generally, the dimensions of a small car are less than 3.4 meters in total length, with a width and height ranging from 1.6 to 1.8 meters. Below is a brief introduction to small cars: Overview: Refers to vehicles with a total mass not exceeding 4.5 tons, seating capacity (including the driver) not exceeding 9 people, or a vehicle length under 6 meters. Categories: A C1 driver's license permits driving small and mini passenger cars, as well as light, mini cargo vehicles, and light, small, mini special-purpose vehicles. The examination subjects include four items: traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, road driving, and safe and civilized driving knowledge. A C2 driver's license is a type of driving license that only allows driving small and mini automatic transmission passenger cars and light, mini automatic transmission cargo vehicles.
I usually drive a mid-size SUV, which is about 4.9 meters long, 1.9 meters wide, and 1.7 meters tall. I chose this car for family trips—it's spacious in the back, making it comfortable for kids and elderly passengers, and the trunk has plenty of room for all sorts of bags. However, parking can be a headache. Some mall parking garages have narrow pillars, requiring extra caution when turning to avoid scratches, which would be frustrating. Larger dimensions offer better safety, as the heavier body provides stronger impact absorption, but fuel consumption is also higher, averaging around 10 liters per 100 km in city commuting. Before buying, I recommend measuring your usual parking spots—unlike me, who didn’t pay attention at first and now always has to hunt for larger spaces. Mid-size models strike a good balance, offering ample space without being too cumbersome to handle.
