Everything about Subcompact totally explained
A
subcompact car is an
automobile in a
North American
vehicle size class, encompassing vehicles smaller than
compact cars. According to the
United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a passenger car is classified as subcompact if it has between 85 ft³ (2400 L) and 99 ft³ (2800 L) of interior volume. Many contemporary subcompacts sold in North America fall into the
supermini category (as defined by
Euro NCAP) in Europe.
In North America, this type of car was first seen in the
1950s with the introduction of the
Nash Metropolitan and a number of imported models, notably the
Volkswagen Beetle and various small British cars. The subcompact didn't see wide adoption until the
1970s with the introduction of such cars as the
Ford Pinto and
Chevrolet Vega, which were produced by American automakers in response to the growing popularity of small imported cars especially from
Volkswagen,
Nissan-Datsun, and
Toyota.
As of 2008, numerous models of subcompacts are sold, including the
Toyota Yaris, the
Nissan Versa, the
Honda Fit, the
Scion xD, the
Chevrolet Aveo, the
Kia Rio, and the
Hyundai Accent.
