1 Answers
The Camry is a model under Toyota, classified as a B-segment car according to national standards, which means it is a mid-size sedan. It is in the same category as models like the Honda Accord, Volkswagen Passat, Magotan, Ford Mondeo, Buick Regal, and Mazda Atenza. B-segment cars, also known as mid-size cars or Large-Family-Cars, typically have a wheelbase ranging from 2.7 to 3.0 meters and a body length between 4.5 and 5.0 meters. The Camry's dimensions are 4900X1840X1455mm with a wheelbase of 2825mm, fitting the standard for mid-size cars. According to the German car classification system, A-segment cars include A0 and A00 classes, generally referring to compact cars; B-segment cars are mid-size sedans; C-segment cars are premium sedans; and D-segment cars are luxury sedans. The classification is primarily based on parameters such as wheelbase, engine displacement, and weight. The further the letter in the alphabet, the longer the wheelbase, larger the displacement and weight, and higher the luxury level of the car. A00-segment cars, or micro cars, have a wheelbase between 2.0 and 2.2 meters and an engine displacement of 1 liter or slightly more. For example, the Alto is an A00-segment car. A0-segment cars, or subcompact cars, have a wheelbase of 2.2 to 2.5 meters and a displacement of 1 to 1.5 liters. Typical examples include the Honda Fit and Volkswagen Polo. A-segment cars, or compact cars, generally have a wheelbase of 2.5 to 2.7 meters and a displacement of 1.3 to 2.0 liters. Models like the FAW-Volkswagen Sagitar, Toyota Corolla, and Honda Civic belong to this category. C-segment premium sedans, or executive cars, have a wheelbase of approximately 3.0 to 3.1 meters and an engine displacement of 2.3 to 3.0 liters. The most well-known C-segment car in China is undoubtedly the Audi A6. D-segment luxury sedans are often grand in appearance, with extremely spacious interiors and powerful engines. They typically have a wheelbase exceeding 3.1 meters and a displacement of over 3.0 liters. Common D-segment models include the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, BMW 7 Series, Audi A8, Rolls-Royce, and Bentley.
