Full-size vehicle
A full-size car is a marketing term used in North America for an automobile larger than a mid-size car. Traditional U.S. full-size passenger cars were designed to be comfortable for six occupants and their luggage for long-distance driving. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) currently uses the term "large car" to mean full-size cars based on their combined interior passenger and luggage volume. A full-size SUV (or CUV), is a utility vehicle that has over 100 cubic feet (2.8 m3) of cargo volume.[1] This is measured when the rear seats are folded or removed for more cargo capacity.[1] Both full-size and mid-size SUVs and CUVs have three rows of seating (8 or 9 passengers).[2] A full size van is a marketing term used for a van larger than a minivan. Seating is one difference. A full-size van may be equipped to seat up to 15 passengers.[3] A minivan often seats up to 8.[3]
