What Are the Six Levels?
Car grade is derived from Volkswagen's method of grading cars. It is not an authoritative standard, but a set of reference values that Volkswagen formulated when it first formulated its platform strategy. It was later widely used.
Car grade
- When Volkswagen began to promote its platform strategy, the vehicle model platform was positioned according to size and divided into six levels: A00, A0, A, B, C, and D. According to German car classification standards: A00 is a mini passenger car, A0 is a small passenger car, A is a compact passenger car, B is a medium passenger car, C is a medium and large passenger car, and D is a car It is a large passenger car. Its classification is mainly based on parameters such as wheelbase, displacement, and weight. The later the alphabetical order, the longer the wheelbase of this class, the larger the displacement and weight, and the luxurious The degree has also continued to increase.
- In China, A00, A0, A, B, C, and D are generally referred to as mini cars, small cars, compact cars, medium cars, medium and large cars, and large cars.
- As the number of models increases and the price, style, and configuration options become more and more diversified, the edge crossing of A-, B-, and C-class cars will also increase. For example, some models may have a wheelbase that belongs to the A-class range, but the displacement and price are almost the same as the B-class. Therefore, the classification of passenger cars should not be too rigid and rigid and needs to be handled flexibly.
