Executive car

Executive car is a British term for a large car which is 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), and smaller than luxury saloons / full-size luxury sedans.

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