[DawsonMarie]

C-class cars, also known as mid-to-large size cars or Executive cars, are typically referred to as executive sedans. They have a wheelbase ranging from approximately 2.8 meters to 3.0 meters, with engine displacements between 2.3 liters and 3.0 liters. Representative models include the Audi A6L, BMW 5 Series, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Hongqi H7, Toyota Crown, Buick Park Avenue, as well as some imported models. Automobiles are generally classified into six categories: A00, A0, A, B, C, and D. According to the German automobile classification standard: A00 refers to micro passenger cars, A0 to small passenger cars, A to compact passenger cars, B to mid-size passenger cars, C to mid-to-large size passenger cars, and D to large passenger cars. The classification is primarily based on parameters such as wheelbase, engine displacement, and weight. The further the letter is in the alphabet, the longer the wheelbase, the larger the displacement and weight, and the higher the luxury level of the passenger car. A00-class passenger cars have a wheelbase between 2.0 meters and 2.3 meters, with engine displacements under 1 liter. Examples include the Alto and Smart, which fall under the A00 category. A0-class passenger cars have a wheelbase ranging from 2.3 meters to 2.5 meters, with displacements between 1 liter and 1.5 liters. Typical models include the Sail, Fit, Polo, Verna, and Fiesta. A-class cars have a wheelbase of approximately 2.5 meters to 2.7 meters and displacements of around 1.5 liters to 2.0 liters. Examples include the Focus, Sagitar, Corolla, and Audi A3. A-class cars are the most commonly used family cars in China. B-class mid-range passenger cars have a wheelbase between 2.7 meters and 2.9 meters, with displacements ranging from 1.8 liters to 2.5 liters. The B-class market has gradually become the main battleground for domestic automakers. Models such as the Mazda6, Accord, Mondeo, Sonata, Audi A4, Passat, and Toyota Camry belong to the B-class segment. C-class premium passenger cars have a wheelbase of approximately 2.8 meters to 3.0 meters, with engine displacements between 2.3 liters and 3.0 liters. The most renowned C-class cars in China include the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series, and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. D-class luxury passenger cars are typically grand in appearance, with extremely spacious interiors and powerful engines. Their wheelbase is generally over 2.8 meters, with displacements mostly above 3.0 liters. Common D-class models include the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, BMW 7 Series, Audi A8, as well as brands like Rolls-Royce and Bentley.
