A city car (also known as urban car or mini) is a small car intended for use primarily in an urban area.
City cars are sold worldwide and most automotive industry manufacturers have one or two in their line-up. In North America, city cars are often referred to simply as "subcompacts" alongside the superminis. It also corresponds to A-segment, as defined by European Commission. In Japan, the kei car (軽自動車, keijidōsha?, lit. "light automobile") is a specific type of city car. To receive legal classification as a kei car (along with the added registration discounts and benefits), the vehicle must meet specific size criteria in both physical dimensions and engine capacity. For 'city cars' in Japan, the definition is informal and imprecise.

Famous quotes containing the words city and/or car:
“Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion city of our God!
He, whose word cannot be broken, Form’d for thee his own abode:
On the rock of ages founded, What can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation’s walls surrounded Thou may’st smile at all thy foes.”
—John Newton (1725–1807)
“Raising children is a spur-of-the-moment, seat-of-the-pants sort of deal, as any parent knows, particularly after an adult child says that his most searing memory consists of an offhand comment in the car on the way to second grade that the parent cannot even dimly recall.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
