Executive car

Executive car is a British term for a large car, and is considered equivalent to the European E-segment and American full-size classifications.[1] Executive cars are larger than compact executive cars (and the non-luxury equivalent mid-size cars), but smaller than luxury saloons / full-size luxury sedans.

The term has also been adopted by Euro NCAP, a European organization founded to test car safety.[2]
