Definition
小车 has two main senses: a small hand-pushed cart (like a wheelbarrow or handcart) and a small car or sedan. In modern everyday Chinese, it often refers to a compact passenger car. The meaning depends on context—tools and rural settings suggest the cart sense, while urban traffic suggests the car sense.
