Talk:Mercedes-Benz EQA

Size classification
Differences between American and European size classifications strike again.

My point is that these two classifications are basically incompatible - and claiming that an American category "corresponds" to a European category is just distorting the facts. Too bad so many Wiki articles are trying to do that - to match an American size category with a European size category one-to-one.

Example: the current Mercedes A-Class hatchback and the Audi A3 hatchback are called "premium compacts" in Europe but "subcompact executive cars" or "subcompact luxury cars" in the US. By the way, the American category of subcompact cars is wide enough to include cars classified in Europe as A-segment, B-segment, C-segment and in the past D-segment (1st-gen Lexus IS, Mercedes 190).

Now I'm going to focus on the European classification only: here's why the EQA, and the 2nd-gen GLA, are definitely not in B-segment or B-SUV segment, by current standards.
