D-segment
The D-segment is the 4th category of the European segments for passenger cars, and is described as "large cars".
It is equivalent to the Euro NCAP "large family car" size class, and the present-day definition of the mid-size car category used in North America. Compact executive cars are part of the D-segment size category.
D-segment sales represented about 7% of the market in the 2010s.
Most D-segment cars are sedans/saloons or wagons/estates but hatchbacks, and coupes have been common.
Pricing and specification of D-segment cars can vary greatly, from basic low-cost transport to more luxurious and expensive models. As of 2025 the typical D-segment category size ranges from about 4.6 to 5 m (15.1 to 16.4 ft).
D-segment cars in Europe are the Alfa Romeo Giulia (2015), BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Audi A4/S4/RS4, Mazda6, Škoda Superb, Volvo S60/V60, Jaguar XE, Citroën C5, Peugeot 508, Audi A5/S5/RS5, BMW 4 Series, Volkswagen Arteon, Honda Accord, Toyota Camry and Polestar 2.
