Auto multimeter
The main different for regular multimeter (apply to both analog, and digital) and auto multimeter is the current, surge voltage, and surge current.
Home multimeter normally cannot handle 1 A current load, while car always use few A of current. It is expansive for any kind of circuit to handle few ampere current. The cable gauge has to be very thick as well.
If you are using the meter for resistant, voltage, diode, capacitance, frequency, temperature, and continuity check, then any multimeter is sufficient
