  • Car Classification
    Car classification Car classification is subjective since many vehicles fall into multiple categories or do not fit well into any. Not all car types are common in all countries and names for the same vehicle can differ by region. Furthermore, some descriptions may be interpreted differently in different places. Broadly speaking, there are a set of classifications which are widely understood in North America, and another set which are somewhat understood in English-speaking contexts in Europe. Some terms borrowed from non-English languages may have different meanings when used in their native language. Classification systems The following are the most commonly used classifications. Where applicable, the equivalent Euro NCAP classifications are shown. Car rental companies often use the ACRISS Car Classification Code. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) has another set of classification rules based on interior passenger and cargo volumes. A similar set of classes is used by the Canadian EPA. In Australia, the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries publishes its own classifications. Car classification American English British English Segment Euro NCAP Examples Microcar Microcar, Bubble car - - BMW Isetta, Smart Fortwo - City car A-segment Daewoo Matiz, Renault Twingo, Toyota Aygo, VW Lupo Supermini Subcompact car Supermini B-segment Hyundai Accent, Ford Fiesta, Opel Corsa, Suzuki Swift Compact car Small family car C-segment Small family car Ford Focus, Toyota Corolla, Opel Astra, VW Golf Mid-size car Large family car
