C-segment (or medium cars) is a Euro Car Segment; a car classification loosely defined by the European Commission as the third smallest segment (above the A-segment and B-segment) in the European market -- in a system that comprises nine overall classes. In 2011, the C-segment had an EU market share of 23%.
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."
