What is the average car size?

There's no single answer to "average car size" because it depends on several factors and how you define "size." Size can refer to:

* Length: This varies greatly depending on the car class (subcompact, compact, mid-size, full-size, etc.) and manufacturer.

* Width: Similar to length, width varies significantly across car classes.

* Height: This is also affected by car class and design (e.g., SUVs tend to be taller).

* Interior space: This considers passenger volume and cargo space, which aren't directly correlated with exterior dimensions.

* Weight: This is a measure of the car's mass and significantly impacts fuel efficiency and handling.

To get an average, you'd need to specify the dimension (length, width, height, etc.) and a specific region and time period (average car sizes in the US in 2023 will differ from those in Europe in 2010). Additionally, the averaging methodology matters (simple average vs. weighted average by sales volume).

In short, you can't give a single, meaningful average car size without more specific parameters.
