1 Answers
S-Class is the highest level of Mercedes-Benz sedans; A-Class (including A0 and A00) refers to small cars; B-Class cars are mid-range sedans. Basic Introduction: Car classifications originated from a grading method used by Volkswagen in Germany. It is not an authoritative standard but rather a set of reference values Volkswagen initially established for its platform strategy, which later became widely adopted. Car classifications generally include six levels: A00-Class, A0-Class, A-Class, B-Class, C-Class, and D-Class. Classification Parameters: Level, wheelbase, car length, engine displacement, curb weight. A00-Class passenger cars should have a wheelbase between 2 meters and 2.3 meters, with an engine displacement of less than 1 liter; A0-Class passenger cars have a wheelbase of 2.3 meters to 2.5 meters and a displacement of 1 liter to 1.5 liters; A-Class cars have a wheelbase range of approximately 2.5 meters to 2.7 meters, with a displacement of about 1.5 liters to 2.0 liters; B-Class mid-range passenger cars have a wheelbase of approximately 2.7 meters to 2.9 meters, with a displacement ranging from 1.8 liters to 2.5 liters; C-Class high-end passenger cars have a wheelbase of about 2.8 meters to 3.0 meters, with an engine displacement of 2.3 liters to 3.0 liters; D-Class luxury passenger cars are mostly grand in appearance, with extremely spacious interiors and very powerful engines. Their wheelbase is generally greater than 2.8 meters, and the displacement is mostly above 3.0 liters.
