A compact car or small family car is a classification of cars which are larger than a supermini but smaller than or equal to a mid-size car. The term often leads into confusion, however, since international compact cars are somewhat larger than their North American equivalents, mostly because no supermini subcompact size is manufactured by American, Mexican and Canadian car makers up to date. Current compact car size, for US and international models respectively, is approximately 4,100mm and 4,450mm long for hatchbacks, or 4,400mm and 4,750mm long for cabriolets, sedans or station wagons. Multi-purpose vehicles and sport utility vehicles based on small family cars have similar sizes, ranging from 4,200mm to 4,500mm in US and from 4,400mm to 4,700mm in international-based models
