What is a MPV (multi-person vehicle)?
A MPV (multi-purpose vehicle) is a car body style. MPVs are essentially hatchbacks but a bit taller and longer, giving a lot more interior room for the amount of space they take up on the road, making them an excellent choice for family buyers. They're also known as people carriers, or minivans in the US.
