It is based on total interior passenger and cargo volume. The EPA's classes are: large, more than 3.4 m3 (120 cu ft), such as the Lincoln Continental and Chevrolet Caprice; midsize, 3.1 to 3.4 m3 (ll0 to 120 cu ft), such as the Dodge Aspen and Cadillac Eldorado: compact, 2.8 to 3.1 m3 (l00 to ll0 cu ft), such as the AMC Concord and Ford Granada; subcompact, 2.4 to 2.8 m3 (85 to l00 cu ft), such as the Dodge Omni and Volkswagen Rabbit, and minicompact, less than 2.4 m3 (85 cu ft), such as the Honda Civic.
