Size classes

EPA size classes

EPA sorts every vehicle into a size class by interior volume for cars and by weight for trucks, SUVs and vans. Ranks on this site always compare nameplates within one class and one model year. SUVs were a single class until EPA split them into small and standard SUVs for 2013.
