When we look at cars on the Internet or listen to car critics, we always hear the words compact, medium, medium and large. But if you don’t know the car, it sounds like you’re confused, and you’re too confused to tell who is who. So, what exactly is SUV classified by? How to look? In fact, the classification of SUVs is similar to that of sedans. They are distinguished by length and wheelbase size. They are generally divided into small SUVs, compact SUVs, medium SUVs, medium and large SUVs, and full-size SUVs.
small SUV
small SUV generally has a wheelbase of about 2600mm and a body length of about 4200mm. It has low fuel consumption, good passability, small and cute shape, and looks stylish and dynamic. It is also because of the reduced fuel consumption that it is difficult for small SUVs to satisfy consumers who pursue sports styles in terms of power. At the same time, the handling and space will also be limited.
But most small SUVs are small displacement models, so the price will be relatively favorable. Common representative models are: Honda Binzhi, Haval H2, Hyundai ix25, Jeep Freeman and so on. Therefore, for some friends who are under great economic pressure and do not need to pay too much attention to space, comfort and power, buying a small SUV not only saves money, but also has more flexibility in using cars.
Compact SUV
Compact SUVs generally have a wheelbase of about 2700mm and a length of about 4500mm. Compared with economical small SUVs, compact SUVs pay more attention to comfort and driving experience, and have more powerful power and driving experience. Complicated road conditions can drive smoothly.
On the other hand, the fuel consumption of a compact SUV will be slightly higher than that of a small SUV, but it combines comfort, sportiness, enough space performance, moderate price, and high cost performance. It can be said to be the main sales force in the domestic automobile market. , There are many consumers who like it. Common representative models are: Haval H6, Honda CRV, Toyota RAV4, Audi Q3 and so on. The wheelbase of the
mid-size SUV
is about 2800mm and the body length is about 4750mm. Compared with compact SUVs, they have more space, stronger power, more luxurious configuration, and more domineering appearance. Generally speaking, some medium-sized SUVs will also provide 7-seat versions to meet the diverse needs of the family and demonstrate their strength.
Generally medium-sized SUVs are equipped with a 2.0T engine. In order to pursue the ultimate handling and power, the product is also stronger, and of course the price will be higher. At present, medium-sized SUVs are also hot darlings in the auto market. Especially with the liberalization of the second-child policy, more people like medium-sized SUVs. Common representative models are: Highlander, Ruijie, Tiguan L, Mercedes-Benz GLC and Audi Q5 wait. The
medium and large SUV
has a wheelbase of about 2900mm and a body length of about 4900mm, which is a more luxurious model. Compared with the medium-sized SUV, it not only has a large space, luxurious configuration, strong power, but also has better off-road performance and higher security.
But compared to medium and compact SUVs, the types of medium and large SUVs are far inferior to them, and their sales performance is relatively average. Of course, since the positioning of medium and large SUVs is close to high-end, there is not much consideration of cost in all aspects of material configuration, and consumers who can afford these cars are not rich or expensive. Common representative models are: Mercedes-Benz GLE, Porsche Cayenne, Toyota Prado and Volkswagen Touron and so on.
full-size SUV
This level of full-size SUV has a wheelbase of up to 3 meters, a body size of up to 5 meters, and a comprehensive range of fundamentals. It has the best off-road capability, space, and safety configuration. Of course, the goals of this type of vehicle design are big, domineering and spacious, while economy and cost are secondary.
full-size SUVs are relatively rare in China, but they are very popular in some European and American countries. They all use large-displacement engines. Even if the body is heavy, due to its good low torsion, there is no pressure to walk. Common representative models are: Hummer H2, Lincoln Navigator, Mercedes-BenzGLS and Cadillac Escalade and so on.
Of course, to distinguish the level of SUV models from the body size, wheelbase, platform and positioning multiple dimensions. The wheelbase can only be said to be the most important reference data for SUV size. It does not mean that the larger the wheelbase, the larger the space, it also depends on the design of each car.
