How it's used

Refers primarily to large commercial vehicles like trucks or lorries rather than just a large passenger car. It is frequently used to describe heavy-duty transport that might block traffic or cause congestion on narrow streets. When referring to a large private car, speakers are more likely to use terms like 大架車 or 豪華車.

Common mistake

Avoid using this to describe a large SUV or luxury sedan, as it sounds like you are talking about a commercial truck or a bus. If you just want to emphasize that a car is physically large, use 大架車 instead.
