<p><b>Subcompact car</b> is a North American <a href="Car_classification" title="Car classification">classification</a> for cars smaller than a <a href="Compact_car" title="Compact car">compact car</a>. It is broadly equivalent to the <a href="B-segment" title="B-segment">B-segment</a> (Europe), <a href="Supermini" class="mw-redirect" title="Supermini">supermini</a> (Great Britain) or A0-class (China) classifications.

</p><p>According to the <a href="United_States_Environmental_Protection_Agency" title="United States Environmental Protection Agency">U.S. Environmental Protection Agency</a> (EPA) car size class definition, the subcompact category sits between the "minicompact" and "<a href="Compact_car" title="Compact car">compact</a>" categories.<sup id="cite_ref-M-W_dictionary_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-M-W_dictionary-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The EPA definition of a subcompact is a passenger car with a combined interior and cargo volume of 85–99 cubic feet (2,410–2,800 L).<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> Current examples of subcompact cars are the <a href="Nissan_Versa" title="Nissan Versa">Nissan Versa</a> and <a href="Mitsubishi_Mirage" title="Mitsubishi Mirage">Mitsubishi Mirage</a>. The smaller cars in the <a href="A-segment" title="A-segment">A-segment/city car</a> category (such as the Chevrolet Spark and Smart Fortwo) are sometimes called subcompacts in the U.S., because the EPA's name for this smaller category — "minicompact" — is not commonly used by the general public.<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>The prevalence of small cars in the United States increased in the 1960s due to increased imports of cars from Europe and Japan. Widespread use of the term subcompact coincided with the early 1970s increase in subcompact cars built in the United States. Early 1970s subcompacts include the <a href="AMC_Gremlin" title="AMC Gremlin">AMC Gremlin</a>, <a href="Chevrolet_Vega" title="Chevrolet Vega">Chevrolet Vega</a>, and <a href="Ford_Pinto" title="Ford Pinto">Ford Pinto</a>.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>

<p>The term subcompact originated during the 1960s.<sup id="cite_ref-M-W_dictionary_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-M-W_dictionary-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><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> However, it came into popular use in the early 1970s, as car manufacturers in the United States began to introduce smaller cars into their line-up.<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> Previously, cars in this size were variously categorized, including "small cars"<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><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page: 120">: 120 </span></sup> or "economy cars".

</p><p>Several of these small cars were produced in the U.S. in limited volumes, including the 1930 <a href="American_Austin_Car_Company" title="American Austin Car Company">American Austin</a> (later called the American Bantam)<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and the 1939 <a href="Crosley" title="Crosley">Crosley</a>. From the 1950s onwards, various imported small cars were sold in the U.S., including the <a href="Nash_Metropolitan" title="Nash Metropolitan">Nash Metropolitan</a>, <a href="Volkswagen_Beetle" title="Volkswagen Beetle">Volkswagen Beetle</a>, and various small British cars. The term subcompact did not yet exist, so the Metropolitan was labeled a "compact or economy car" and marketed as a second vehicle for use around town, not as a primary car.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The Volkswagen Beetle was marketed with advertising pointing out the car's unconventional features as strengths and to get buyers to "think small."<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Prompted by the British government for exports, Ford was one of the first companies to try and sell inexpensive small cars in volume. From 1948 to 1970, approximately 250,000 economical English Fords were imported to the US while over 235,000 went to Canada.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Models such as the 1960 <a href="Ford_Anglia" title="Ford Anglia">Ford Anglia</a> were promoted as "The world's most exciting light car."<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>During the 1990s GM offered the <a href="Geo_(automobile)" title="Geo (automobile)">Geo</a> brand featuring the Suzuki-built <a href="Geo_Metro" title="Geo Metro">Metro</a> subcompact.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="2000s_to_present">2000s to present</h3></div>

<p>Because of consumer demand for fuel-efficient cars during the mid- to late-2000s, sales of subcompact cars made them the fastest growing market category in the U.S.<sup id="cite_ref-27" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-27"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>27<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In 2006, three major subcompact models were introduced to the market, the <a href="Toyota_Yaris" title="Toyota Yaris">Toyota Yaris</a>, <a href="Honda_Fit" title="Honda Fit">Honda Fit</a>, and <a href="Nissan_Versa" title="Nissan Versa">Nissan Versa</a>. These models were released by their manufacturers to aim at a group of younger buyers who otherwise shop for used cars.<sup id="cite_ref-28" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-28"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>28<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> While fuel prices at the time were increasing, the small cars were planned before fuel prices soared; for example, Honda had announced that it would release a subcompact model as early as 2004.<sup id="cite_ref-29" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-29"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>29<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>By 2008, sales of subcompact cars had dramatically increased in the wake of a continuing increase of fuel prices. At the same time, sales of pickup trucks and large sport utility vehicles had dropped sharply. By April 2008, sales of Toyota’s subcompact Yaris had increased 46 percent, and Honda’s Fit had a record month with an increase of 54 percent.<sup id="cite_ref-30" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-30"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>30<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-31" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-31"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>31<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>However, low fuel prices and the added room in <a href="SUV" title="SUV">SUVs</a> impacted subcompact sales negatively in the late 2010s. During this period, industry executives and analysts said that the subcompact car market was returning to historical norms after an unusual period when manufacturers had expanded small car lineups in anticipation of rising demand fueled by rising fuel prices, which has since eased.<sup id="cite_ref-32" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-32"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>32<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In the United States, the segment experienced a 50 percent drop in sales in the first half of 2020 compared to 2019.<sup id="cite_ref-33" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-33"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>33<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In Canada, the subcompact share of the car market shrank to 1.6 percent for the year ending 2020, down from 2.4 percent in 2019.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_34-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-34"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>34<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
