Automobile Manufacturers
Common people like me always confuse between the car type and car segment. It has always
been a difficult situation to identify a car type and to guess which segment it falls in. While
browsing the internet I came across an article that had all the information about car segments
and types. Then I came to know that segments are defined by length of the car and the shape
of the body defines type.
Following are the specific categories of all vehicles sold in India as outlined by the Society of
Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM). Using the SIAM classification ensures that no
vehicle type will slip through the net. These classifications help consumers to compare and
identify similar vehicles and makes car buying process as easy as possible. It also helps
identify other similar vehicles for consumers to compare against, to help make the car-buying
process much easier.
A5 Segment Premiun 4701 to 5000mm (Camry, E class, Accord, Sonata, Laura, Superb
etc)
A6 Segment Luxury Above 5000mm (Mercedes S class, 5 series etc)
B1 Segment Van Omni, Versa, Magic etc
