What type of car is 4.7 meters long?

It is an A-segment car. A-segment cars, also known as compact cars, have a body length between 4.3 meters and 4.79 meters, a wheelbase typically ranging from 2.35 meters to 2.79 meters, and engine displacement generally between 1.4 liters and 2.0 liters. Below is an introduction to car classifications: 1. B-segment cars: Also referred to as mid-size cars, models like the Magotan, Passat, Camry, Accord, BMW 3 Series, and Audi A4 fall into this category. They have a wheelbase of approximately 2.7 to 2.9 meters and engine displacement around 1.4 to 2.5 liters. 2. C-segment cars: Known as executive cars, they have a wheelbase around 3 meters and engine displacement between 2.0 and 3.0 liters. Common C-segment models include the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series, and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. 3. D-segment cars: Also called full-size or luxury cars, they feature a wheelbase varying from 3.1 to 3.6 meters and engine displacement ranging from 2.0 to 6.6 liters. They also have the widest price range.
I've checked a lot of car model data, and the 4.7-meter vehicle length is quite common. For example, the Toyota RAV4 hybrid version we're familiar with is exactly 4.7 meters, and the Honda CR-V gasoline version also falls within this size range. Some B-segment cars like the Nissan Teana measure 4.906 meters, giving a similar visual impression. The currently popular BYD Song Pro DM-i hybrid version is right at 4.73 meters, making parking relatively easy. If considering new energy vehicles, the domestic Tesla Model Y at 4.75 meters is also very close. In fact, different configurations of the same brand may vary by a few centimeters in length, so it's most reliable to check the specific model year parameters directly.
This size is particularly common among compact SUVs. Last week, while accompanying a friend on a test drive, I noticed that the Honda Haoying (Breeze) fuel version has a length of 4716mm, and the Volkswagen Tiguan L measures 4733mm, both falling into the 4.7-meter category. For sedans, the new Sagitar at 4791mm also fits within this range, with an especially spacious trunk. The Japanese Mazda CX-5 is slightly shorter at 4550mm, but the CX-50 stretches to 4745mm. It's important to note that measurement methods may vary between automakers—some include roof rails while others don't—so it's best to bring a tape measure and check the actual vehicle.
I noticed that many popular models now target this size. For example, the Toyota Wildlander is 4675mm, the Nissan Qashqai is slightly smaller at 4401mm, but the X-Trail at 4681mm is just right. The Camry at 4885mm exceeds it, though it doesn't seem that much longer. Among domestic models, the Haval H6 3rd generation at 4653mm and the Geely Xingyue L at 4770mm are both very practical. For electric vehicles, the Xpeng G3 is a bit short at 4495mm, and the Aion Y's 4535mm also falls slightly short. Personally, I think 4.7 meters is the golden size for family use—easy to park yet spacious enough.
