Toyota Corolla Altis, a popular ASEAN compact car

Ford Focus, a small family car A compact (North America), small family (European) or c-segment car is a classification of cars which are larger than a supermini and smaller than a large family car. Current compact cars are between 4,100 mm (161 in) and 4,450 mm (175 in) long if they are hatchbacks, or between 4,400 mm (173 in) and 4,600 mm (181 in) if they are cabriolets, saloons or estates. Multi-purpose vehicles and sport utility vehicles based on small family cars, which are called compact MPVs and compact SUVs respectively, have become popular since the early 1990s. Common engines are 1.5 to 2.4-litre straight-4s, either petrol or Diesel, with a range between 100 bhp (75 kW) and 170 bhp (127 kW). Some models also have economical 1.3 or 1.4-litre units. High-performance versions, called hot hatches or sport compact sedans, may have turbocharged 2.0 or 2.5-litre engines, or even V6 3.2-litre units, ranging maximum outputs from 170 bhp (127 kW) to 300 bhp (224 kW). Small European family cars include the Ford Focus, Opel Astra, Peugeot 307, Renault M?gane, and Volkswagen Golf. Japanese branded examples include Honda Civic, Mazda 3, Subaru Impreza, and Toyota Corolla. The Chevrolet Cobalt is an example of a compact made in the United States.
