What Does Entry-Level Model Mean?

[MacIan]

An entry-level model refers to the smallest and least equipped variant in an entire vehicle lineup. For the same model, based on the level of equipment from low to high, it can be categorized into entry-level, low to mid-range, mid-range, high mid-range, and top-tier (flagship) models. The entry-level model of a vehicle typically comes with a manual transmission and mechanical handbrake, lacking mainstream features such as electronic parking brake, auto hold, engine auto start-stop, power-folding mirrors, and heated mirrors. A common feature across the lineup means that regardless of whether it's the standard or luxury configuration, all variants of a car are equipped with this feature. The standard configuration can meet daily needs but may not satisfy higher demands. Top-tier models are equipped with more safety and comfort features, such as collision warning, surround sound system, automatic braking, and automatic parking, which are not available in standard models and only appear in top-tier variants.
