8703.60.00.60 - Having engines with not more than 4 cylinders

This HTS classification, 8703.60.00.60, specifically covers new motor cars and other motor vehicles designed primarily for transporting persons, which meet specific engine criteria. These vehicles are characterized by having both a spark-ignition internal combustion piston engine and an electric motor for propulsion, and crucially, they are capable of being charged by plugging into an external electric power source. Furthermore, within this category, the internal combustion engine is limited to having not more than four cylinders.

This particular subcategory is distinguished from its siblings by the cylinder count of its internal combustion engine. While 8703.60.00.70 covers vehicles with engines having more than four but not more than six cylinders, and 8703.60.00.80 encompasses those with more than six cylinders, this code exclusively applies to those with a maximum of four cylinders in their spark-ignition engine. All these sibling categories fall under the broader classification of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) with an engine capacity exceeding 3,000 cc.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, the classification relies solely on the defined characteristics: the vehicle's primary purpose for passenger transport, its dual-motor propulsion system (internal combustion and electric), its external charging capability, and the specific limit of not more than four cylinders in its spark-ignition internal combustion engine.
