With the improvement of our living standards, cars have gradually become a kind of mass consumer goods into the homes of ordinary people, and the demand is increasing, so people may often hear A-class cars, B-class cars, and C-class cars in daily life. Class cars and the like, especially when major auto manufacturers promote and sell, they often say that this is a luxury B-class car or a luxury C-class car. There may be a group of people who don’t know what the so-called A, B, C, and D are related to the vehicle itself, and how they are distinguished. Here is a brief introduction.

First of all, we figure out what is the ABC class, and the standard of car distinction: A class car is a small car, B class car is a mid-range car, C class car is a high-end car, D class car is a luxury car .

A-class car, that is, compact car, the body is 4.3 meters to 4.79 meters, the wheelbase is generally 2.35 meters to 2.79 meters, and the displacement is generally 1.4 to 2.0 liters.

B-class car, that is, medium-sized car, or Large Family Car, has a wheelbase of 2.6 meters to 2.85 meters, and a displacement of 1.4 to 3.5 liters.

C-class car, that is, high-end car, the wheelbase is between 2.8 meters and 3 meters, and the engine displacement is 2.0 to 3.5 liters.

D-class cars, namely luxury cars, have extremely spacious interior space and strong engine power. The wheelbase is generally greater than 3 meters, the vehicle length is more than 5 meters, and the displacement is basically above 3.0 liters.

Generally speaking, there are A, B, C, D grade cars. The standards of each country are different, and there is no unified standard in our country. Therefore, because German cars are the first to have joint ventures with China and occupy a certain market, they are mostly used German classification method: According to the German automobile classification standards, A-class cars include A0 and A00 cars, generally referring to small cars; B-class cars are medium-sized cars; C-class cars are high-end cars; and D-class cars are luxury cars.

A-class cars, which are compact cars, are represented by Focus, Corolla, Sagitar, etc. The most popular car-level of common joint venture brands, so the starting price is usually around 100,000. Their car length is usually within 4700mm, and the wheelbase is within 2700mm. However, many car manufacturers no longer clarify this limit in order to increase the space in the car. Although individual models are positioned as compact cars, their size or wheelbase Almost the same as the mid-size car, it is called the A+ class model, but it still belongs to the A class car in essence.

B-class car, that is, medium-sized sedan, representing models of Mondeo, Camry, Passat, etc., common joint venture brands, the starting price of this model usually ranges from 160,000 to 200,000, and their car length is usually Above 4700mm and below 5000mm, the wheelbase is above 2800mm, the size is relatively large, especially on the side of the body there is a clear difference from the A-class car, under normal circumstances, the naked eye can distinguish the difference from the A-class car.

C-class cars, which are medium and large cars, represent the BMW 5 Series, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Audi A6, etc. At this level, luxury brand models are usually more representative, so the starting prices of different brands of brands are also It will be different. The official starting price of these three models is about 400,000. Their car length is usually in the early 5000mm, and the wheelbase is about 3100mm. This type of model usually adopts a vertical engine layout, so the front of the car will look very long and big. The texture of the body paint will also be more advanced. Cars of this size usually give people a strong sense of aura and are very easy to distinguish.

In addition, there are A0-class small cars and A00-class mini cars below A-class, such as Volkswagen POLO Toyota Vios and so on. Then there are D-class cars above the C-class, which are large cars, such as the BMW 7-series, Mercedes-Benz S-class, Audi A8, Lexus LS and other mega-class executive cars, and then Rolls-Royce Phantom and Bentley. Mulsanne ultra-luxury models, in addition to individual brands will have some differentiated competition models, the division of levels is relatively vague, such as Lexus ES and other officially called the phenomenon of medium and large vehicles, but actually medium-sized vehicles.
