Which is Bigger: Subcompact or Compact Cars?
1 Answers
In terms of length, compact cars are larger than subcompact cars. Here is a detailed explanation: 1. There is no fixed standard for classifying car types, but it mainly depends on three aspects: length, wheelbase, and engine displacement. 2. Generally, cars with a body length less than 4200mm and a wheelbase less than 2620mm can be classified as subcompact cars; whereas compact cars have a body length between 4200mm and 4600mm and a wheelbase between 2620mm and 2700mm. 3. Arranged by size from smallest to largest: subcompact cars < compact cars < midsize cars < full-size cars. 4. Currently, in both the sedan and SUV markets, compact-sized cars are relatively more favored by Chinese consumers. 5. Compact cars offer a moderate size and decent space for most people. 6. Moreover, most compact cars are equipped with engines ranging from 1.6L to 2.0L in displacement, which is more than sufficient for family use or daily outings. 7. Additionally, compact cars offer better value for money compared to subcompact and midsize cars.
