<p>The <b>E-segment</b> is the 5th category of the <a href="Euro_Car_Segment" title="Euro Car Segment">European segments for passenger cars</a>, synonymous with the term <a href="Executive_car" title="Executive car">executive car</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-EEC_Merger_Procedure_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-EEC_Merger_Procedure-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>E-Segment is a niche in Europe (2-3% penetration in 2010s). In 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020, E-segment sales accounted for 2.7%, 2.7%, 2.3% and 2.1% market share in Europe, respectively.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>Most E-segment cars are <a href="Sedan_(car)" class="mw-redirect" title="Sedan (car)">sedans/saloons</a>, however several models are also produced in other body styles such as <a href="Station_wagon" title="Station wagon">wagons/estates</a>. As of 2021, E-segment cars typically have a length of about 4.8 to 5 m (15.7 to 16.4 ft).

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="European_vs._American_classification">European vs. American classification</h2></div>
<p>The terms E-segment or executive car do not have a one-to-one equivalent in the American car classification. However, if a modern E-segment sedan by a European brand is sold in the U.S., it falls into the category of both <a href="Mid-size_car" title="Mid-size car">mid-size</a> and <a href="Full-size" class="mw-redirect" title="Full-size">full-size</a> sedan, usually a mid-size luxury sedan.

With size brackets of European car segments increasing, the <a href="Toyota_Camry" title="Toyota Camry">Toyota Camry</a> fell from the E-segment<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> into the D-segment while remaining a mid-size car.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Market_share_in_Europe">Market share in Europe</h2></div>
<p>2019 - Sales of large cars in Europe were down 13% in 2019 to 362,300 units, a new record low annual volume for this class, which now accounts for 2.3% of the total European car market, down from 2.7% in 2018.
<sup id="cite_ref-19" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>2020 - The large cars segment in Europe is down 32% in 2020, to just over 246,000 deliveries. This means the segment loses ground on the overall market again and now accounts for just 2.1% of the total European car market, down from 2.3% in 2019. With the exception of a newcomer, the entire top-8, which accounts for nearly 91% of the segment's sales, drops by 29% or more and thus falls behind the overall market. Only one single model in the class manages to keep its decline limited to single digits.
