Large Family Cars
Large family cars were usually around 4.50 m (177 in) in length by the early 1990s, but are now shifting to 4.70 m (185 in) or more in length. Examples of large family cars include the Ford Mondeo, Opel/Vauxhall Insignia, and Volkswagen Passat. Large family cars can also be flagships such as the SEAT Exeo and the Škoda Superb
Equivalently sized cars in North America are usually called mid-size cars; the term "family car" is fairly often used to refer to a vehicle in this class. Examples include the Ford Fusion, Chevrolet Malibu and the Buick LaCrosse.
