A family car is a car classification used in Europe to describe normally-sized cars. The name comes from the marketed use of these cars to carry a whole family, locally or on vacations. Most family cars are hatchbacks or sedans, although there are MPVs, estates and cabriolets with the same structure as with the other body style.

Large family car" is a UK term and a part of the D-segment in the European car classification. Mid-size cars are manufactured in a variety of body styles, including sedans, coupes, station wagons, hatchbacks, and convertibles. Compact executive cars can also fall under the mid-size category.
The D-segment is the 4th category of the European segments for passenger cars, and is described as "large cars". [1] [2] It is equivalent to the Euro NCAP "large family car" size class, [3] and the present-day definition of the mid-size car category used in North America.
