{{main article|Euro Car Segment}}

Vehicle segments in Europe do not have formal characterization or regulations. Models segments tend to be based on comparison to well-known brand models. For example, a car such as the [[Volkswagen Golf]] might be described as being in the [[Ford Focus (international)|Ford Focus]] size class, or vice versa. The [[VW Polo]] is smaller, so it belongs one segment below the Golf, while the bigger [[Volkswagen Passat|Passat]] is one segment above.

The names of the segments were mentioned, but not defined, in 1999 in an EU document titled ''Case No COMP/M.1406 Hyundai / Kia Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89 Merger Procedure''.<ref name=m1406>{{cite web |title=Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89 - Merger Procedure
