Car classes: table. Classification of cars

Many people are interested in such a topic as car classes. The hotel table exists, and it immediately becomes clear. It should be noted that there are several options for classification, but the European is generally accepted. So, it's worth talking about it in more detail. And for this - list all classes of cars.

Table of titles

So, the first in this list is the letter A. Microcars - that's how they are called. A little later will be told about them in more detail, as well as about the rest of the representatives. Next comes B, that is, small cars. Then follows S. Machines belonging to this category are known as models of the European middle class. D is closer to the middle of the list. The so-called large family cars. Next comes the E-class, that is, those cars, whose representatives are business models. Then the F-class (representative cars), S (sports coupe), M (multi-purpose vehicles and minivans) and the last one is J (so-called carboard). Well, some of the names on this list are familiar to many. But for completeness of the disclosure of the topic I would like to tell in detail about all the listed categories.

Microcar

So, talking about the classes of cars, the table of which is provided above, start with category A. Microcar - it's by no means minivans, as some might have thought. A bright representative is Peugeot BB1. It's just a tiny car, the length of which is 2.5 meters. Despite its miniature size, it can accommodate four people. True, there is no need to talk about comfort. Naturally, this machine is driven by an electric motor, the charge of which is enough for 120 kilometers.

More popular representative is Smart Fortwo. Inside - two places, and under the hood - 1-liter 71-horsepower engine for 3 cylinders. It is driven by a 5-band "automatic". The starting price is 640 thousand rubles, the package is pleased with the air conditioner, audio installation, stabilization system, airbags and seat heating. In general, everything that could only be put in this crumb, the German specialists machine was completed.

Small category

So, the next representative who is in the "Car Classes" list (the table is given earlier) is the category B. The bright representative is Alfa Romeo MiTo. A small three-door hatchback. Compact, but powerful. Particularly pleased with its version, known as Quadrifoglio Verde. Produced from 2009. Novelty then cost about 1 050 000 rubles! This car was a 170-horsepower 1.4-liter engine, and fuel consumption was only six liters per 100 km.

Audi A1 is the main competitor of the Italian model. This car appeared earlier. Its length is less than four meters, and the price started from 1 120 000 p. The 125-horsepower 1.4-liter engine, airbags, audio system, heated front seats and light alloy wheels were included in the starting kit.

C- and D-classes

Among these categories are many well-known cars. For example, BMW of the first series, Ford Focus, Geely Emgrand EC7, Hyundai Elantra, Kia Cerato, Nissan Almera, 308 Peugeot, Skoda Octavia, Toyota Corolla, Volkswagen Golf " and many others. Even "Lada Priora" is on this list. What is special about the middle class of cars? What unites all of the above? Dimensions, of course. The length of the "Priora" is 428 centimeters, the Volkswagen Golf is 425.5, the Corolla is 4.27 meters (later the length began to increase, and in 2015 the model had a body of 4.62 meters), etc. That is, there are similarities.

In the D-class a lot of "Audi". Famous models such as A4, A4 Albor, A5, RS4, Ford Mondeo, Peugeot 508, Volvo Cross Country, Skoda Octavia Scout are also famous cars. On these and the above examples, you can already understand how the classification of cars by class is determined. The table presented above shows that with each letter, so to speak, the dimensions increase. From A, the smallest, to J, the largest. So, D-class cars have a length, ranging from 4.6 to 4.85 m.

Special category cars

So, above was considered the middle class cars, as well as representatives of large family cars. Now you can get to the middle of the list of categories. And tell about the cars of the executive class. At the end of last year, the top 10 best F-class-2015 cars were compiled. The list includes such cars as Maserati Ghibli, Mercedes E-Class, BMW 5 Series, Jaguar XF, Audi A3, Mercedes C-class, and some others. Interestingly, in this top-10 seven representatives are German cars. Although there is nothing to be surprised, everyone knows about the undoubtedly high quality of these cars. The F-class is characterized not only by length over five meters, but also by special luxury, comfort, maximum configuration and safety. And the appropriate price.

Business class also does not need to be skipped. The length of the cars is usually from 4.85 to 5.04 m. Lexus GS, Infinity M, Porsche Panamera, BMW 7 Series, Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Audi A8, Volkswagen Phaeton - these are some representatives of this class. Cars are not cheap. For example, "Porsche Panamera" in the upgraded version will cost about 300 thousand dollars. Not less than luxury cars. It is not necessary to explain what key features such machines possess, as well as from the name everything becomes clear. Unless it is necessary to clarify one nuance - often in such cars make a greater emphasis on the comfort of the rear row than the front. With the expectation that a person would travel in such a car with a personal driver, and he would rest from behind. That, in principle, is not uncommon.

Sports coupe

The last expensive representative, which includes the classification of cars by class. The table of dimensions relating to these cars says that the length is usually from 4.6 to 5 meters. The peculiarity of such machines lies in the fact that they look very long and wide, which is why, as a rule, they have a small height. Known cars are Chevrolet Corvette, BMW M2, Ferrari F12berlinetta, Mercedes-AMG GT, etc. These cars are characterized by extremely powerful technical characteristics and high prices. "Mercedes" costs a minimum of 130 000 dollars and under the hood has 462 liters. from. (And this is not the limit), "Ferrari" can cost 22 million rubles (and under the hood of it - 740 hp), for "Chevrolet" you need to give more than 4 million rubles. And so on. In general, the characteristics of a sports coupe are extremely clear. Cheap car class. List of expensive coupe, probably, can make a couple of dozen pages.

Minivans and SUVs

The last two categories that need to be told. M-class - a car, designed for 8-9 seats (with a driver), characterized by high capacity and comfort. The body is single-volume and has a high roof. The salon is easily transformed. The most popular minivans are produced by the concern Volkswagen.

Category J is the last class of cars. The list closes with them. Parkets are often called jeeps. As a matter of fact it is the versatile person with the increased road gleam. Crossovers are their traditional name. They differ in good cross-country ability and large dimensions. Bright representatives are "Nissan Beetle", Chevrolet Captiva, BMW X5 and many others. For the sake of justice it is worth noting that, despite its size, there are such crossovers that are characterized by tremendous dynamism and worthy characteristics. The last representative, by the way, is one of those.

Mercedes-Benz

Finally, I would like to note a few attention to the classes of Mercedes cars. So, the category A. Compact, practical, comfortable, relatively inexpensive hatchbacks - that's their characteristic. B-class - roomy, economical, aerodynamic, safe. Very popular among large families and lovers of a comfortable and quiet ride.

C-class - popular, stylish, profitable. A universal option for those people who want a prominent car, but are not ready to invest in something more luxurious. But the E-class is just one of those. The most comfortable, reliable, differs classical design, as much as possible modern equipment and rich equipment. Powerful and dynamic - that's how you can characterize these cars. S-class - a luxurious, rich, created in order to spend in an unrealistically comfortable lounge all the time. But the car is not for everyone. Just such "Mercedes" is very expensive.

G-class are jeeps. Increased cross-country ability, muscular appearance ... These "Mercedes" - the leaders among the most powerful and best SUVs. M-class - also interesting cars. Modern SUVs with a stylish design. And finally, the V-class. Minivans - extremely comfortable, roomy and dynamic. There are also "Mercedes" and subclasses (CLK, GL, GLK, SLK, SLR, CL), but this is another topic.
