Encyclopedia > Multi purpose vehicle

MPV is short for Multi Purpose Vehicle. The term is popular in Europe and elsewhere but not generally used within North America; minivan is the nearest equivalent. An MPV is a passenger carrying vehicle based on a car platform, and is generally a one box design - neither a distinct bonnet (US: hood) nor boot (US: trunk), but rather a maximised interior space. MPVs generally have a flat floor and removable seats except for the front row, and give great flexibility of seating arrangements and cargo capacity. The Renault Espace, launched in 1984 was the first MPV avaliable in Europe.
