The '''C-segment''' in [[Europe]], following the above definition, is in 2013 the second most popular segment in the region (slightly after the [[B-segment]]), with a 22.2% of the European market.
The C-segment includes the [[Volkswagen Golf]], currently the most popular car in Europe. Basically the Golf, together with other 5 models ([[Ford Focus]], [[Opel Astra]] with its [[Vauxhall]] twin, [[Audi A3]], [[BMW 1 Series]] and [[Skoda Octavia]] makes the half of the market. [[VW]] Group dominates the segment with a 35% share, covering the market with its brands [[VW]], [[Audi]], [[Škoda Auto|Skoda]] and [[Seat]].
Luxury brands such as [[BMW]] (1 Series), [[Audi]] (A3) and [[Mercedes-Benz|Mercedes]] (brand-new [[Mercedes-Benz A-Class|A-class]]) are getting more and more popularity in the segment since years, differently from what is happening in other minor segments like [[A-segment]] and [[B-segment]].
