What Kind of Car Is Generally Referred to as a Small Car?
1 Answers
Small cars generally refer to models with an engine displacement of around 1.0-1.3 liters. However, the distinction between micro cars, small cars, and other similar vehicle categories has become increasingly blurred. Typically, the classification is determined by the manufacturer's positioning and the predecessor of the model. Compact Cars: Compact cars, also known as A-segment cars, are the most common family vehicles, with a wheelbase generally ranging from 2.5 to 2.7 meters and an engine displacement of around 1.6-2.0 liters. In China, compact cars, including models from domestic brands, joint ventures, and pure imports, have become the mainstay of the current car-buying market. Midsize Cars: Midsize cars generally have a wheelbase of 2.7 to 2.9 meters, a body length of 4.6 to 4.9 meters, and an engine displacement ranging from 2.0 to 3.0 liters. They typically seat five passengers.
