What is the length of a medium-sized passenger vehicle in meters?
2 Answers
Length less than 6 meters, width less than 2.5 meters, height less than 2.5 meters. Criteria: The first criterion is vehicle dimensions: length less than 6 meters, width less than 2.5 meters, height less than 2.5 meters. The second criterion is passenger capacity between 10 and 19 people. Generally, meeting either of these two criteria qualifies as a medium-sized passenger vehicle. Notes: Medium-sized passenger vehicles (including urban buses with a capacity of 10-19 people), light and mini cargo vehicles; light, small, and mini special-purpose vehicles, all blue-plate trucks can be driven, but yellow-plate trucks cannot. An A2 license allows driving tractor trailers (semi-trailers, full trailers) and also medium-sized passenger vehicles with a total length under 6 meters and fewer than 19 seats. If the total length exceeds 6 meters, it is classified as a large passenger vehicle and requires an A1 license to drive.
I've been repairing cars for over twenty years. Common medium-sized passenger vehicles typically range in length from 5.5 to 7 meters, with most around 6 meters. The national regulation sets the upper limit at 7 meters; exceeding this will result in failed inspections. Once, I worked on a 6.2-meter minibus in the shop, and the owner complained about parking difficulties—it was too tight in downtown alleys, but it performed decently on highways with good stability. Larger dimensions mean slightly higher fuel consumption and more cumbersome daily maintenance, like needing a ladder to change a light bulb. When buying a car, especially for beginners, don't just look at the number of seats; measure the dimensions carefully to avoid scraping walls when turning.
