What are the classes of cars - A, B, C, D, E, F

Cars are classified according to a variety of characteristics, but the most recognized all over the world is the classification by body type and car size. Although there is no absolute consistency in this classification, the same types of vehicles may be classified differently in different countries.

Class “A” - "women's" or mini cars. They are characterized by a short body up to 3,6 meters and a width of 1,6-1,7 meters. The engine capacity is on average from 0,6 to 1,2 liters, power from 50 to 87-95 horsepower. This class is ideal for the city, there are a lot of examples of it on our roads: “Oka”, Daewoo Matiz, Hyundai i10 and so on. The cabin can barely accommodate 4 adults, and the trunk volume is a maximum of 250 liters.

Class "B" - cars a little more A-class. Their length reaches about four meters, although the trend towards a gradual increase in dimensions is constantly present and monitored, it is enough to take a closer look at the technical characteristics of the updated models.

The B-class includes budget cars available to the middle class: Peugeot 206, Skoda Felicia, Toyota Yaris, VW Polo, Kia Rio and others. In the cabin, 4 passengers will already feel more or less comfortable, although some models may be positioned as five-seater. Naturally, their power will be more - 1,2-1,6-liter engines up to 120 horses.

Class "C" - the average below the middle class, which is very common in the West. Zhiguli, for example, according to the Soviet classification, were also classified as C-class, but taking into account the constant elongation of Russian cars, Priora fits here.

In our country, the owners of cars of this class are certainly a segment of the population with a high level of income. The length of the machines reaches four and a half meters, the width is 1,8 meters. Engine capacity - from 1,6 to two liters. That is, these are already quite powerful machines. The brightest representatives: VW Jetta and Golf, Hyundai i30, KIA Cee'd, Peugeot 308, Ford Focus, Citrioen C4.

Class "D" - medium-sized cars, reaching a length of 4,5-4,7 meters according to various estimates and 1,9 in width. Two-liter and more engines. The class is divided into basic and elite options. The latter are practically considered business class.
