> RAV4

Viewpoint from Japan: is it small?. I feel same thing for BMW Mini because it's bigger width than average on the road.



It's a three door version, 3860 mm long. It's about as much as the shortest Mini model. It's amongst the shortest cars around here, Renault Twingo, and "smart" cars are shorter, but nothing else comes to my mind that would be significantly shorter than the RAV4.


Ah three door version is very short than I expected.


Yes, or mid-size. Japan is to Europe what Europe is to America in terms of car sizes.

E.g. vans within the Kei (keijidōsha) classification pretty much don't exist in Europe, but are common in Japan.
