A city car (also known as urban car or mini) is a small car intended for use primarily in an urban area. The term is often interchangeable with other terms for small cars; such as subcompact in North America, and supermini in the UK. The Euroncap makes no distinction between small cars, calling all superminis, and the European Commission refers to A-Segment . In Japan, the kei car is a specific type of city car.
