Depends upon what part of the vehicle is on fire. Vehicles using flammable liquids as fuel would need a class B fire extinguisher or MASSIVE amounts of water (e.g., 500 gallons or more).
The passenger compartment of ordinary vehicles contains synthetic upholstery and interior finishes, meaning they become molten flaming liquids during a fire. Again, you would need a Class B fire extinguisher (i.e., ABC or BC) to effectively control such a fire unless you have hundreds of gallons that can be applied at 80-100 gallons per minute!
