A-segment
The A-segment is a car classification defined by the European Commission[1] as the first segment in the European market car classification (mini cars). It is a significant niche in Europe with 10.4% market share in 2015.[2]
In recent years, the segment opened to premium cars with success, like the Mini and the Fiat 500. Vauxhall/Opel entered the segment with a premium model, the Adam, in the autumn of 2013. Vauxhall/Opel have had a presence in the A-segment since the launch of its Agila in 2000.[3]
The New York Times[4] described the segment in 2012, saying "today’s small cars actually span three main segments in the global vehicle market". A-segment cars (currently only 0.8% of US market[5]) are dominated by European models Mini and Fiat 500.
