In the conventional models that we often see in the day, from small to large: Micro-AOO, Small-AO, Compact-A, Medium-B, Medium-Large-C and Large-D.
At the corresponding level, in addition to cars, the general manufacturers could develop derivative models such as compact SUVs and medium-sized MPVs. In addition, some sports cars, hard-core off-road vehicles, and special-purpose vehicles will be developed independently.
The Passat B6 is the sixth-generation Passat brand sedan designed by Volkswagen AG. It is only a car model which couldn't represent the level of the car.
The classification of the automobile class was first divided by German car companies, and it was gradually recognized by all countries. In the development of the times, the initial classification standards for vehicle models have gradually blurred and changed. The specific grades are classified according to the wheelbase distance、length and displacement ,etc.,which are explained in detail below:
1, Mini car - AOO level
Wheelbase of this car class has between 2.0 and 2.3 meters, and the car body length is within 4.0 meters. The engine displacement is about 1.0 liter. Due to the small size, low fuel consumption and low price, the mini-car is more suitable for transportation.
In the early years, the domestic auto market has just started to fire. Many of the first cars are mini-cars, such as Chery QQ, Suzuki Alto, etc., which are familiar to everyone, and Chevrolet Spark, which was fired by Transformers. At present, these cars are rare, and now the most common mini car should be smart.
2, Small car - AO class
Wheelbase of this car class has between 2.3 and 2.5 meters, the car body length of between 4.0 and 4.3 meters, and an engine displacement of between 1.0 and 1.5 liters.
Like the mini-car, the small car is also the first car of many people. The first car of the editor is the Kia's Maxima, a car that has been downgraded from compact to small.
The small car that we first know was mainly the popular VK Polo. Of course, after the market is all flowers bloom together, most joint venture person has its small car on sale.

Also more common are Porsche Panamera, Maserati President, Jaguar XJ, Lexus LS, etc. (Bentley, Rolls Royce is not in scope).
The primary feature of a large car is of course large, with a wheelbase starting at three meters. Secondly, the configuration is extremely luxurious. The general sense of movement is not strong, but the emphasis on comfort is built for the ride. Because the owners who often have large cars are sitting in the back row.
Extended information:
The car grade is derived from the German Volkswagen's grading method for cars. It is not an authoritative standard. It is only a set of reference values that the public originally formulated for their own platform strategy, and was later widely used.
The car class is generally six levels: A00, A0, A, B, C, and D.
When German Volkswagen began to promote its platform strategy, they divided the vehicle platform into six levels of A00, A0, A, B, C and D according to size and positioning.
According to the German car grading standards: A00 is a miniature passenger car, A0 is a small passenger car A-class is a compact passenger car, B-class is a medium-sized passenger car, C-type is a medium and large passenger car, D-class car is a large passenger car. Its grade is mainly based on the parameters such as wheelbase, displacement and weight. The lower the alphabetical order, the longer the wheelbase of the car, the greater the displacement and weight, and the luxury of the passenger car. It is also constantly improving.
Domestically, A00, A0, A, B, C, and D are generally referred to as minicars, 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 diverse, the edge crossings of Class A, Class B, and Class C vehicles will increase. For example, some models may have a wheelbase that belongs to the A-class range, while the displacement and price are comparable to those of the B-Class. Therefore, passenger car grading should not be too rigid and rigid.
