WHAT are segments?

Different types of vehicles are divided into groups depending on use, size and shape.

In South Africa, we use the same segment divisions or markets as in Europe.

What are the most popular segments?

- A segment: City cars such as the Renault Kwid, VW Up and Kia Picanto.

- B segment: Superminis such as the VW Polo, Ford Fiesta and Renault Clio.

- C segment: Small family cars such as the VW Golf, Honda Civic and Ford Focus.

- D segment: Large family or compact executive cars such as the BMW 3 Series, Audi A4 or VW Passat.

- E segment: Executive cars such as the Jaguar F Type, Mercedes E-Class or BMW 5 Series.

Are there other segments?

There are other segments but they are not as common. The F segment is for super luxury cars such as the BMW 7 Series and Mercedes S-Class. The S segment is for sports cars such as the Porche 911 and Audi TT.
