Vehicle Category Code

Industry Standard Car Classification Code

ACRISS Members utilise an industry standard vehicle matrix to define car models ensuring a like to like comparison of vehicles. This easy-to-use matrix consists of four categories. Each position in the four character vehicle code represents a definable characteristic of the vehicle. This vehicle matrix makes it possible to have 400 vehicle types. Car codes are created by assigning one character from each column and combining them into a four-character car code:

  • 1st character denotes the vehicle category – based on size, cost, power and luxury factor
  • 2nd character defines the vehicle type – chassis type (Van, SUV, Wagon, Convertible….)
  • 3rd character defines the transmission and drive – Automatic / Manual & 2WD / 4WD / AWD
  • 4th character defines the fuel type (Petrol / Diesel / Hybrid/ Electric…) and whether air conditioned or not
