【编者按】 不同的国家及地区对于汽车的分类是不同的，以下我们将对占据主流的欧美汽车分类标准进行对比。
Car classification is subjective since many vehicles fall into multiple categories or do not fit well into any. Not all car types are common in all countries and names for the same vehicle can differ by region. Furthermore, some descriptions may be interpreted differently in different places. Broadly speaking, there are a set of classifications which are widely understood in North America, and another set which are somewhat understood in English-speaking contexts in Europe. Some terms borrowed from non-English languages may have different meanings when used in their native language.

【中文注解】
“汽车类别”的分类带有主观性，因为它的种类实在是太多了，要么同时属于几个类别，要么与哪一类都贴不上边。世界各国的汽车类别名称也不尽相同，即使同一种车型的名称也有地域差异。总的说来，北美地区的一些分类名称有一定共通性；在英语氛围内，欧洲的一些分类方式在某种程度上也可以理解，而英语中一些名称是从其他语言中借过来的，因此其与与源语中的本义不相同了。
