What Does Standard Configuration Mean?

[DeJoshua]

Standard configuration refers to the standard equipment that car manufacturers install in vehicles upon leaving the factory, based on national safety standards or the company's own requirements. Examples include airbags and anti-lock braking systems (ABS), which are mandatory national standard configurations. To differentiate between different grades of the same car model, manufacturers often categorize vehicles based on their configurations, generally dividing them into: Trend Edition, Comfort Edition, and Flagship Edition. Different manufacturers may use varying names for these grades, but the concept remains the same. When purchasing a car, the term "standard configuration" mentioned by the manufacturer refers to the basic or entry-level standard, which is typically the Trend Edition.
