large car

Spacious family vehicle

A large car is a full-size automobile with generous interior space and typically a powerful engine, as distinguished from compact or midsize vehicles.

The term appears in vehicle classifications, fuel economy ratings, and car shopping: We need a large car for the family road trip.

In American usage, large cars traditionally meant full-size sedans, though SUVs now dominate the category.
