1 Answers
A-segment, B-segment, and C-segment cars are classification standards for automobiles. According to the German car classification system, A-segment cars (including A0 and A00) refer to small cars, B-segment cars are mid-range sedans, and C-segment cars are luxury sedans. The classification is primarily 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 level of luxury in the car. Details are as follows: 1. A-segment: Small cars with a wheelbase between 2.3 to 2.45 meters and an engine displacement of approximately 1.3 to 1.6 liters. 2. B-segment: Mid-range sedans with a wheelbase of about 2.45 to 2.6 meters and an engine displacement ranging from 1.6 to 2.4 liters. 3. C-segment: Luxury sedans with a wheelbase of about 2.6 to 2.8 meters and an engine displacement of 2.3 to 3.0 liters.
