How to classify car brand rating into grades

Car class is a method of categorizing cars by Volkswagen in Germany. It is not an authoritative standard, but a set of reference values developed by Volkswagen when developing its own platform strategy, which was later widely used. The general car classes are:A00, A0, A, B, C, d.

When Volkswagen started to promote its platform strategy, it positioned its vehicle platforms according to their size, and divided them into six classes, A00, A0, A, B, C, D. According to the German automobile classification standard:A00 is a microbus, A0 is a minibus, A class is a compact bus, B class is a medium-sized bus, C A00 is a microbus, A0 is a small bus, A class is a compact bus, B class is a medium-sized bus, C class is a medium-sized bus and D class is a large bus. Classification is based on wheelbase, displacement, weight, etc. The lower the alphabetical order, the higher the wheelbase. The lower the alphabetical order, the longer the wheelbase, the greater the displacement and weight of the car in this class, the more luxurious the passenger car.

Generally A00, A0, A, B, C, D are called microcars, minivans, compacts, midsize cars, mid-size cars, and large cars in China.

With the increase in the number of models and the diversification of prices, styles, and configuration choices, there will be more and more marginal crossovers between A, B, and C class cars. For example, some models may have a wheelbase in the range of A-class cars, but the displacement and price are almost the same as B-class cars. Therefore, the classification of passenger cars should not be too rigid and flexible.
