In China, motor vehicles are functionally classified into types such as sedans, station wagons, coupes, sports cars, and convertibles. The classification principles for motor vehicles include European and American standards. The specific classification principles are as follows: European Classification: Volkswagen, the largest automobile manufacturer in Europe and the earliest company to enter the Chinese sedan market, undoubtedly has a representative classification method. German sedans are divided into A, B, C, and D classes, with Class A further divided into A00 and A0 classes, equivalent to China's mini cars and standard sedans. Class B and C correspond to China's mid-size and upper-mid-size sedans, respectively. Class D is equivalent to high-end sedans like the Hongqi. The longer the wheelbase, the larger the displacement and weight, and the higher the luxury level of the sedan. American Classification: For American classification standards, one can get a glimpse from General Motors' classification. General Motors typically divides sedans into 6 levels, based on comprehensive considerations of vehicle size, displacement, equipment, and price. Its Mini class is equivalent to China's mini cars. China's standard sedans can be found in two levels in General Motors' classification: Small and LowMed. There is relatively consistent agreement among manufacturers on the classification standard for mid-size sedans, namely the Intermediate (Class B) level. The upper-mid-size sedans are classified as Upp-med. High-end sedans correspond to the Large/Lux level.
