The U.S. EPA classifies a passenger vehicle with an interior and cargo area of 100-109 cubic feet as a compact car. A compact car is larger than a subcompact car, which has an interior area of 85-99 cubic feet and smaller than a midsize car, which has an interior of 110-119 cubic feet. The term compact car is also popularly applied to any smaller car, whether or not it is officially classified as such.
