MPV (People Carrier, Minivan)
An MPV is a tall, roomy car designed to carry many people and their luggage, often with sliding doors and flexible seats.
What is MPV (People Carrier, Minivan)?
Many offer seven seats in three rows. Individual rear seats can often slide, fold or be removed. Sliding doors make access easier in tight spaces. Compact MPVs share their platforms with compact hatchbacks.
How it works
A one-box or short-bonnet design maximises interior space on a given length.
Why it matters for your car
With all seats in use, boot space can be very small. Check the number of ISOFIX points if you need several child seats.
