What type of vehicle is an MPV?

[Dean]

MPVs are classified as small general passenger vehicles on the vehicle license. Below is relevant information about MPVs: 1. Origin: MPV (Multi-Purpose Vehicles), or multi-purpose vehicles, evolved from station wagons. They combine the spacious passenger area of a station wagon, the comfort of a sedan, and the functionality of a van, featuring a two-box structure that can seat 7-8 people; 2. Structural Basis: Built on a sedan chassis, MPVs offer a comfort level close to that of sedans. Their engine layout differs from single-compartment minivans, which place the engine inside the cabin, by positioning the engine transversely in the front, helping to absorb frontal impacts and enhance the safety of front-seat passengers; 3. Selection Criteria: Considerations include whether the exterior is stylish, the space is spacious, and the ride is comfortable, as well as fuel efficiency, usage costs, engine reliability, and safety performance.
