What is an MPV model?

[ParkerLynn]

MPV stands for Multi-Purpose Vehicle, which evolved from station wagons. It combines the spacious passenger area of a station wagon, the comfort of a sedan, and the functionality of a van, typically featuring a two-box structure that can seat 7 to 8 people. MPVs can be categorized by usage into family MPVs and commercial MPVs; based on seating capacity, they can be divided into 5-seater MPVs and 7-seater MPVs. MPV models feature flexible seating arrangements where all seats can be folded or laid flat, with some even capable of moving forward, backward, left, right, or rotating. When the third-row seats of an MPV are folded down, it resembles a sedan with an oversized luggage space; folding down the three right-side seats simultaneously creates an extra-long cargo area; rotating the second-row seats 180 degrees backward allows face-to-face conversations with the third row, or folding the seatbacks forward turns them into a desktop for work or entertainment.
