C-segment is a car classification defined by the European Commission as the third smallest segment (above the A-segment and B-segment) in the European market.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Office for Official Publications of the European Communities L-2985 Luxembourg )〕 As the "segment" terminology became more common in the United States, in 2012 the New York Times described the differences, saying "today's small cars actually span three main segments in the global vehicle market. The tiny A-segment cars include the Chevy Spark and Smart Fortwo. They're extremely short and very light. Slightly larger are B-segment cars like the Ford Fiesta and Chevy Sonic. The A- and B-cars are known as subcompacts. In the C-segment — typically called compacts — are the largest of the small cars. Examples include the Toyota Corolla, a perennial sales leader, as well as the Ford Focus, Citroën C4, Citroën DS4, Chevy Cruze, Honda Civic, Hyundai Elantra, Tata Manza, Nissan Sentra, Peugeot 308 and Peugeot 408 sedan, Renault Mégane and Renault Fluence or Volkswagen Golf and Jetta."〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = The New York Times, September 9, 2012, Phil Patton )〕 Other segments include: * A-segment: mini-cars * B-segment: small cars * D-segment: large cars * E-segment: executive cars * F-segment: luxury cars * J-segment: sport utility cars (including off-road vehicles) * M-segment: multi purpose cars * S-segment: sport coupes == See also == * Car classifications 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「C-segment」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
