What does MPV refer to in cars?
1 Answers
MPV stands for multi-Purpose Vehicles, meaning multi-purpose vehicles. As the name suggests, multi-purpose means suitable for various uses, both for passenger transport and cargo. Evolved from station wagons, MPVs combine practicality, comfort, and safety, with interior space being larger compared to other vehicles of the same displacement. Below is an introduction to MPVs: 1. MPVs can be categorized by usage into family and commercial models, by seating capacity into 5-seater and 7-seater, and by development platform into ride-hailing platform products and light bus derivatives. Vehicles classified as MPVs must first have a two-box structure, usually adopting the chassis and engine of sedans directly, thus offering the driving feel and comfort of sedans. 2. The most intuitive and obvious difference between MPVs and SUVs lies in their appearance. The advantage of MPVs is their larger interior space, more rational seating layout, and better comfort. SUVs, on the other hand, have much higher ground clearance, better off-road capability, and superior sport performance. MPVs also come in entry-level and luxury versions, with representatives of entry-level MPVs including the GAC Trumpchi GM6 and Lifan Xuanlang, while luxury MPVs include the Toyota Alphard and Chrysler Pacifica.
