Geforce 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2007 The cars are classified into segments based on the body mould/form. Its not the length nor the height that determines the segments. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rssh 59 Report post Posted October 10, 2007 See segment is a broader view of telling what type of car is it in its own category like the swift is in higher segment to santro zen alto etc. The segment is some what dependant to the price like safari costs 10lakhs whereas caryenne cost 10000000 i.e. 10 times its price.

sgiitk 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2007 Agreed. The division is somewhat arbitrary and includes price, size, and (maybe) perception. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
