city cars

Small urban automobiles

City cars are small, compact automobiles designed for urban driving—easy to park, fuel-efficient, and maneuverable in tight spaces.

They typically seat two to four passengers and prioritize practicality over power or luxury: A city car is perfect for my daily commute.

The category includes subcompacts and microcars like the Smart Fortwo or Fiat 500.
