World Best Selling City Cars during the 2016 led by Maruti Alto and Chevrolet Spark as in the previous year. However, the Italian Fiat gained the podium with the Panda, fast growing despite the age.
It is defined a “city car” (or “urban car” or “mini car”) a small car passenger with a length size below the 3.7 meters intended primarily for a use inside urban area. The term is used along with other terms for small cars including subcompact in North America. The Euro NCAP calls all small cars superminis. The European Commission refers to A-segment (Utility/city class: entry-level small passenger car). In Japan, the kei car (軽自動車 keijidōsha, lit. “light automobile”) is a specific type of small car with engine power within the 600 cc.
Following the decision of car makers to sales similar/same models with different nameplates across the Wold, all global ranking reported sales aggregated just for same nameplates and we do not assembly data. For instance, Suzuki Group sale the Alto under the Maruti and Suzuki brand and respecting this strategy we report the two models separately.
During the 2016 the city car segment declined 7.5% at global level with preliminary global volumes reported at 4.3 million units.
The segment leadership unchanged with the Maruti Alto with leader as in the previous year thanks to global delivery of 256.514 units, representing a sharp fall from the previous year (-18.3%).
Thanks to a strong second half, the Chevrolet Spark positively defended the second place with 220.211 sales (+9.9%) while the Italian Fiat Panda raised in third place, up 3 spots from the previous year, with 187.749 units (+11.4%).

On demand, we are able to extract similar data for any segment in any country or regional area.
