E-segment
The E-segment is the second largest of the European segments for passenger cars, synonymous with the term executive car.
E-Segment is a niche in Europe.
Most E-segment cars are sedans/saloons, however several models are also produced in a wagon/estate body style.Current models
The three highest selling E-segment cars in Europe are the Mercedes-Benz E-class, BMW 5 Series and Audi A6.European vs. American classification
The terms E-segment or executive car do not have a one-to-one equivalent in the American car classification. However, if a modern E-segment sedan by a European brand is sold in the U.S., it invariably falls into the category of a mid-size sedan, usually a mid-size luxury sedan. This is true, for example, for the BMW 5 G30 and the standard-wheelbase Volvo S90.
Conversely, the American mid-size sedan classification spans both the D-segment and the E-segment. With size brackets of European car segments increasing, the Toyota Camry fell from the E-segment into the D-segment while remaining a mid-size car.European sales figures
