What are the dimensions of an average sedan?

Generally, a sedan is about 4.8 meters in length and 1.8 meters in width. Below is relevant information: Introduction: Sedans of different models vary in size. Length: Micro cars range from 3 to 4 meters, compact cars are around 4 meters, mid-size cars are approximately 5 meters, and luxury cars exceed 5 meters. Width typically falls between 1.4 and 1.8 meters. Maintenance tips: Lubricating oil requirements are higher in winter for car lubrication. If summer oil is being used, it must be replaced. Oil that has been used for an extended period, turned black, or lost its adhesive properties should be changed to ensure smooth engine startup. The amount of antifreeze must be appropriate. Different regions and car models require attention to the antifreeze's freezing point and specifications. Antifreeze used for over two years should be replaced, and mixed antifreeze must be changed annually. Avoid mixing products of different brands and specifications.
The typical dimensions of a sedan are approximately 4.5 to 5 meters in length, 1.7 to 1.9 meters in width, and usually around 1.4 to 1.5 meters in height. Having driven for over a decade, I find these dimensions quite suitable for urban living. A shorter car length of 4.5 meters makes it easier to squeeze into parking spaces in residential areas, while a wider body over 1.8 meters provides more comfortable rear seating, as my family often mentions during commutes. However, exceeding 5 meters in length means hunting for larger parking spots, which can be challenging even during weekend grocery runs. Lower height reduces wind resistance and saves fuel, but I've noticed that cars around 1.5 meters tall feel more stable at highway speeds. Wheelbases ranging from 2.6 to 2.9 meters show significant variation - shorter wheelbases offer better maneuverability but transmit more road bumps. Overall, choosing a sedan requires balancing space and convenience.
