The average length of a sedan is around 4.8 meters. Here is the relevant introduction to sedan length:1. Concept: The distance between the two extreme points in the length direction of a car, i.e., from the most protruding position of the front bumper to the most protruding position of the rear bumper, the distance between these two points.2. Classification based on sedan length:(1) Mini car (A00) with a length less than 3.7M;(2) Small car (A0) with a length less than 4.3M;(3) Compact car (A) with a length less than 4.6M;(4) Mid-size car (B) with a length less than 4.9M;(5) Full-size car (C) with a length less than 5.1M;(6) Luxury car (D) with a length greater than 5.1M.
I've driven quite a few sedans, and generally, common family sedans range in length from 4.5 to 4.8 meters. Compact models like the Toyota Corolla are just over 4.6 meters, while mid-size sedans like the Honda Accord are close to 4.9 meters. The difference between different classes is quite significant—mini cars like the Suzuki Alto are only 3.5 meters, while luxury sedans like the Mercedes-Benz S-Class can reach up to 5.3 meters. Choosing the right length depends on practical needs; models around 4.7 meters are the most common, offering sufficient rear-seat space without being too difficult to park in the city. I remember the last time I rented a car that was 4.9 meters long—it felt noticeably more cumbersome when turning compared to my smaller car.
