Small Family Cars
Current small family cars are between 4.20 m (165 in) and 4.35 m (171 in) long if they are hatchbacks, or between 4.40 m (173 in) and 4.55 m (179 in) if they are saloon or estate models. Since the 1990s there have been multi-purpose vehicle based on them, called compact MPVs. Popular small family cars are the Ford Focus, Vauxhall/Opel Astra, Škoda Octavia, SEAT León and Volkswagen Golf.
In North America, which uses a different classification system, cars of this size are generally referred to as compact cars, and the term "family car" is almost never used to describe a vehicle in this class.
