The standard for medium-sized cars ranges from China 3 to Euro 4. Here is an introduction to medium-sized cars: Introduction: According to domestic classification standards, medium-sized cars are categorized as mid-to-large-sized cars, also referred to as executive cars. These models are generally used as executive sedans. C-segment cars typically have a wheelbase of around 3.0 to 3.1 meters and an engine displacement between 2.4L and 3.2L. Definition: The standard length for a medium-sized car is greater than or equal to 6 meters, with a total mass greater than or equal to 4500kg but less than 12000kg. When the total mass exceeds 12000kg, it is classified as a heavy-duty vehicle. Light-duty trucks are a type of commercial vehicle, defined as "light-duty" in China with a total mass of less than or equal to 6000kg. Additionally, commercial vehicles are divided into four categories based on load capacity: heavy-duty, medium-duty, light-duty, and mini. Medium-duty trucks are defined as those with a length greater than or equal to 6 meters or a total mass greater than or equal to 4500kg but less than 12000kg, excluding low-speed trucks.
The standards for mid-size cars, in my opinion, mainly revolve around dimensions and practicality. The body length typically ranges between 4.8 to 5 meters, with a wheelbase no less than 2.7 meters, ensuring sufficient interior space. For example, the mid-size car I drive can comfortably seat three adults in the back without feeling cramped, and knees won't touch the front seats. The spacious interior makes it ideal for family trips, easily accommodating large suitcases or child seats. In terms of comfort, the seats offer good support, and the suspension is tuned for a smooth ride, minimizing discomfort on bumpy roads. Common models include the Honda Accord and Volkswagen Passat, which are slightly more expensive than compact cars but still reasonably priced around 200,000 RMB. Safety features are usually robust, with multiple airbags and electronic assistance systems, providing peace of mind on highways. Fuel consumption ranges between 8 to 10 liters per 100 kilometers, making it an economical choice compared to more fuel-thirsty SUVs. Overall, these cars strike a balance between practicality and prestige, making them the top choice for daily family commutes.
