  Multi-purpose vehicle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An MPV or multi-purpose vehicle 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.
Some MPVs are produced on quite small car chassis (the VW Touran is based on the VW Golf, for instance) while others definitely fit within the minivan class.

In fact, the MPV is one of just a few passenger vans to receive a top five-star rating in all four of the Federal government's collision categories: front and side impact, for both front-seat and rear-seat passengers.
MPV is a good size if you typically have four or fewer passengers; if five or six regularly ride with you, then one of the bigger minivans would likely be more suitable.
Technically, the MPV is rated for seven, but that's assuming the three people in the third row are very small and don't mind being crowded.

Back in 2000, the Mazda MPV was an all-new van that seemed to offer all the "zoom-zoom" Mazda wanted to be known for while still giving young families a car they could live with.
The main thing the Mazda MPV has going for it is its un-minivan look, and Mazda gave it a number of cosmetic upgrades for 2004 to further that appeal.
The MPV is smaller overall than most minivans, making it slightly more maneuverable and easy to live with in crowded areas, but it still falls short in overall driving dynamics.

And because of its dimensions and well thought out suspension, the MPV is much more fun to drive than the average minivan.

While the MPV won't handle as well as a Miata (MPVs were about four seconds slower than Miatas over the same autocross course at the introduction), the ride is firm enough for good handling, but not so firm as to shake your false teeth out.

For example, the multi-functional rear seat can be used as a rear seat (duh) in the "normal" front-facing way or converted to face the rear when the tailgate is up so it can serve as an extra seat at tailgates or picnics.
