Editing Vehicle size class

{{Short description|Series of ratings assigned to different segments of automotive vehicles}}
{{See also|Car body style|Car classification|Truck classification}}

'''Vehicle size classes''' are series of ratings assigned to different segments of [[Motor vehicle|automotive vehicles]] for the purposes of [[vehicle emissions control]] and [[Fuel economy in automobiles|fuel economy]] calculation. Various methods are used to classify vehicles; in [[North America]], [[Car|passenger vehicles]] are classified by total interior capacity while [[truck]]s are classified by [[gross vehicle weight rating]] (GVWR). Vehicle segments in the [[European Union]] use linear measurements to describe size. Asian vehicle classifications are a combination of dimensions and [[engine displacement]].

Vehicle classifications of four government agencies are in use in the United States: the [[United States Environmental Protection Agency]] (EPA), the [[National Highway Traffic Safety Administration]] (NHTSA as part of their [[US NCAP|NCAP]] program),<ref name="nhtsa.gov">{{cite web |url=https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings |title=Ratings – How does NHTSA categorize vehicles? |publisher=[[National Highway Traffic Safety Administration]] |access-date=24 March 2019}}</ref> [[Federal Highway Administration]] (FHWA), and the [[U.S. Census Bureau]].<ref name="U.S. Census Bureau">{{cite web |url=https://www.census.gov/econ/overview/se0501.html |title=Vehicle Inventory and Use Survey (VIUS) |publisher=[[U.S. Census Bureau]] |access-date=12 July 2019}}</ref> The [[Insurance Institute for Highway Safety]] also has its own vehicle classification system that is used by most vehicle insurance companies in the U.S.<ref name="iihs.org">{{cite web |url=https://www.iihs.org/iihs/ratings/technical-information/technical-protocols |title=How IIHS Classifies Vehicles by Size, Weight, Type and Price |publisher=[[Insurance Institute for Highway Safety]] |location=US |access-date=24 March 2019}}</ref>

====EPA====
EPA size classes are defined in Federal Regulation, Title 40—Protection of Environment, Section 600.315-08 "Classes of comparable automobiles".<ref>{{cite web |title=40 CFR 600.315-08 - Classes of comparable automobiles. - Content Details - CFR-2011-title40-vol30-sec600-315-08 |url=https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/granule/CFR-2015-title40-vol30/CFR-2015-title40-vol30-sec600-315-08 |website=www.govinfo.gov |access-date=15 July 2019}}</ref> This information is repeated in the Fuel Economy Guide.  [[Automobile|Passenger car]] classes are defined based on interior volume index (the combined passenger and cargo volume) and are as follows.

Trucks classes are defined by [[gross vehicle weight rating]] (GVWR). The administrator classifies light trucks (nonpassenger automobiles) into the following classes: Small pickup trucks, standard pickup trucks, vans, minivans, and SUVs. Starting in the 2013 model year, SUVs are divided between small sport utility vehicles and standard sport utility vehicles. Pickup trucks and SUVs are separated by car line on the basis of gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR). For a product line with more than one GVWR,  the characteristic GVWR value for the product line is established by calculating the arithmetic average of all distinct GVWR values less than or equal to 8,500 pounds available for that product line.

Special purpose vehicles. All automobiles with GVWR less than or equal to 8,500 pounds and all medium-duty passenger vehicles which possess special features and which the administrator determines are more appropriately classified separately from typical automobiles.

====NHTSA====
Unlike the EPA, which groups automobiles by interior volume, the NHTSA groups cars for NCAP testing by weight class.

====FHWA====
Developed in the 1980s, the [[Federal Highway Administration]] 13-category classification rule set is currently used for most federal reporting requirements and that serves as the basis for most state vehicle classification systems.<ref name="FHWA">{{cite web|url=https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/publications/research/infrastructure/pavements/ltpp/13091/002.cfm|work=[[Federal Highway Administration|FHWA]]|title=Chapter 2.

====U.S. Census Bureau====
The Census Bureau surveys the United States truck population.  Large truck owners (NHTSA classes 4-13) are given a standard survey, and small truck (pickups, vans, minivans, and sport utility vehicles) owners (NHTSA class 3) are given a short survey.<ref name="U.S. Census Bureau"/> In the United States the government agencies consider all pickups, vans, minivans, and sport utility vehicles to be trucks for regulatory purposes, no matter what construction method is used, either unibody or body on frame.  Coupe utilities are considered pickup trucks in the U.S., not cars.  SUVs are always considered trucks, although there are some CUVs with low ground clearance which are considered station wagon or hatchback cars for regulatory purposes.

====IIHS====
The Insurance Institute has its own crash test program and groups cars by curb weight and shadow into six classes, micro, mini, small, midsize, large and very large.<ref name="iihs.org"/>

===Canada===
Cars are divided into six classes based on interior volume, as shown in the table below. These classes are not defined in Canadian regulations, but by the ''Fuel Consumption Guide'' published by [[Natural Resources Canada]]. An interior volume index is calculated from the combined passenger and trunk or cargo space. Pickup trucks, special purpose vehicles and vans are segmented in their own respective classes.  As most Canadian cars share designs with American cars, Canada's classifications closely mirror those of the United States.

Medium-duty passenger vehicle is classified as a heavy-duty vehicle that is designed primarily for the transportation of up to 12 people.

A [[motorcycle]] is classified as an on-road vehicle with a headlight, taillight and stoplight that has two or three wheels and a curb weight of 793&nbsp;kg or less, but does not include a vehicle that has an engine displacement of less than 50&nbsp;cc, or that, with an 80&nbsp;kg (176 pound) driver:
* Cannot start from a dead stop using only the engine
* Cannot exceed a speed of 40&nbsp;km/h on a level paved surface

==Europe==
=== EEC ===
{{main article|Euro Car Segment}}

Vehicle segments in Europe do not have formal characterization or regulations. Models segments tend to be based on comparison to well-known brand models. For example, a car such as the [[Volkswagen Golf]] might be described as being in the [[Ford Focus (international)|Ford Focus]] size class, or vice versa. The [[VW Polo]] is smaller, so it belongs one segment below the Golf, while the bigger [[Volkswagen Passat|Passat]] is one segment above.

The names of the segments were mentioned, but not defined, in 1999 in an EU document titled ''Case No COMP/M.1406 Hyundai / Kia Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89 Merger Procedure''.<ref name=m1406>{{cite web |title=Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89 - Merger Procedure

=== EuroNCAP ===
[[EuroNCAP]] applies a standard safety test to all new cars, the results are listed in separate categories to allow prospective vehicle purchasers to compare models of a similar size and shape:
* [[compact car|Small family cars]] (also for stand-alone [[Saloon (car)|saloon]] superminis, like the [[Dacia Logan]])
* [[Large family car]]s (includes [[compact executive car]]s)
* [[Executive car]]s (for expensive cars over 4.80 m long)
* [[Roadster (automobile)|Roadsters]]
* Small off-roaders (similar to the North American [[crossover SUV]] category)
* Large off-roaders (similar to the North American [[SUV]] category)
* Small MPVs (both [[mini MPV]]s and [[compact MPV]]s)
* [[Minivan|Large MPVs]]

==Asia==

===China===
Vehicle size categories for passenger vehicles for the China NCAP program as defined by the China Automotive Technology and Research Center (CATARC) may appear similar to the European system, but are closer to the Japanese in application.
* ''Category A'' (A-segment) vehicles are two-box vehicles of between 4 and 4.5 meters in length, ''or'' [[Three-box styling|three-box]] vehicles (i.e., sedans with trunks) with engines of less than 1600 cc.
* ''Category B'' (B-segment) vehicles are longer than 4.5 m in length with engines of over 1600 cc.
* ''Multi-purpose vehicles'', or MPVs
* ''Sport utility vehicles'' or SUVs

===India===
The [[Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers]] (SIAM) divides Indian passenger vehicles into the segments A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, B1, B2 and SUV. The classification is done solely based on the length of the vehicle. The details of the segments are below:

=== Japan ===
Vehicle size classes in Japan are rather simple compared to other regions. The classifications were established under the [[:ja:道路運送車両法|Japanese Government's Road Vehicle Act of 1951]].<ref>[http://law.e-gov.go.jp/htmldata/S26/S26HO185.html Road Vehicle Act of 1951 (Japanese)]</ref><ref>[https://archive.today/20130130055050/http://njkk.com/about/industry4.htm Japanese Postwar Reconstruction]</ref> There are just three different classes defined by regulations.  The dimension regulations are enforced to exact measurements. These standards of classification are enforced on all vehicles within the jurisdiction of Japan, and no special consideration is made for the vehicles' origination of manufacture. The Japanese law regulates all vehicles that do not travel on railroads (traditional or [[maglev]]), or are not powered by physically contacting [[Overhead line|overhead power lines]]. The law regulates vehicles that are powered by an autonomous power source. Smaller cars are more popular in Japan due to the confined driving conditions and [[Speed limits in Japan|speed limits]].
* ''[[Kei car|Keijidosha]]'' (light cars): Buyers of ''Kei'' cars enjoy a number of tax, registration and other benefits to encourage the purchase of these tiny vehicles (among road vehicles requiring a license only). Regulations have been updated a number of times over the years to allow larger, more powerful cars to be developed and maintain demand as buyers become more affluent, and to improve collision protection performance. The current regulations state that a kei car is a vehicle less than {{convert|3.4|m|ft|1|abbr=on}} long, {{convert|1.48|m|ft|1|abbr=on}} wide, {{convert|2|m|ft|1|abbr=on}} high, with a maximum [[engine displacement]] of {{convert|660|cc|abbr=on}} and maximum power of {{convert|64|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}}. Extra small [[microcar]]s are available with an engine size no larger than {{convert|49|cc|abbr=on}}, identified with a light blue license plate and blue text.
* ''[[Compact car|Small size Passenger vehicles]]'', commonly called "5 number" vehicles in reference to their [[Vehicle registration plates of Japan|license-plate prefix]]. This class is defined as limited to vehicles less than {{convert|4.7|m|ft|1|abbr=on}} long, {{convert|1.7|m|ft|1|abbr=on}} wide, {{convert|2|m|ft|1|abbr=on}} high and with [[engine displacement]] at or under {{convert|2000|cc|abbr=on}}. Vans, trucks and station wagons (considered commercial vehicles in Japan) in the compact size class receive a "4 number" license prefix. Before 1989, the annual tax rate of normal-size class was more than doubled of this class so that most Japanese cars were built within small-size class requirement. Now the annual tax rate only varies with engine displacement however useful small-size class cars are still popular in Japanese market, and Japanese manufacturers make regular improvements to compact sized products to maximize interior accommodation while remaining within the exterior boundaries.
* ''[[Mid-size car|Normal-size passenger vehicles]]'', commonly called "3 number" in reference to their [[Vehicle registration plates of Japan|license-plate prefix]] (trucks and buses over 2000&nbsp;cc have license plates numbers beginning with ''1'' and ''2'' respectively), are those more than {{convert|4.7|m|ft|1|abbr=on}} long, {{convert|1.7|m|ft|1|abbr=on}} wide, {{convert|2|m|ft|1|abbr=on}} high or with [[engine displacement]] larger than {{convert|2000|cc|abbr=on}}. This regulation also mandates that passenger vehicles for private use may not exceed {{convert|6|m|ft|1|abbr=on}} length or {{convert|2|m|ft|1|abbr=on}} width. Based on market conditions, vehicles such as the first generation [[Honda Legend#First generation (KA1-KA6, 1985-1990)|Honda Legend]] (shorter and narrower V6Gi and V6Zi variants with a 2.0 V6 engine), and the [[Mitsubishi Starion]] were produced in both "compact size" (''just'' under 4.7&nbsp;m long and 1.7 m wide) for the Japanese market, and longer or wider "passenger size" versions, primarily for export.

[[Motorcycles]] also have classification definitions based on engine size:
; Class I moped : Engine size must be at or less than 50&nbsp;cc, identified by blue text and white extra small license plate.
; Class II moped (B) : Engine size is between 50–90&nbsp;cc, identified by blue text and yellow extra small license plate.
; Class II moped (MIG) : Engine size is between 90–125&nbsp;cc, identified by blue text and pink extra small license plate (colour of plate can vary according to regional requirements)
; Motorcycle light : Engine size is between 125–250&nbsp;cc, identified by green text and white small license plate.
; Motorcycle medium : Engine size is between 250–400&nbsp;cc, identified by green outline and green text with white small license plate.
; Motorcycle large : Engine size is over 400&nbsp;cc, identified by green outline and green text with white small license plate.

All [[vehicles]] with an engine displacement over 250&nbsp;cc are required to undergo an [[Motor-vehicle inspection (Japan)|inspection]] (called "Shaken" in Japan). Vehicle weight tax and mandatory vehicle insurance are usually paid at this time. This is separate from the [[Road tax#Japan|road tax]] paid yearly. The road tax varies from {{currency|3,000|JPY|linked=yes}} for kei cars up to {{currency|22,000|JPY|linked=no}} for normal size cars with 4.6L engines.
