Minivan
In the United States, Minivan is a type of van designed for personal use. Minivans are typically either two-box or one box designs for maximum interior volume – and are taller than a sedan, hatchback, or a station wagon. Minivan is an American English term. Worldwide, minivans are also marketed as multi-purpose vehicles (MPVs), multi-utility vehicles (MUVs), people-carriers or people-movers. Minivans are designed to make your business a breeze. The spacious cabins, slide doors, robust media systems, and comfortable upholstery make them easy, simple, and enjoyable. Yet many business owners overlook them for crossover SUVs with worse fuel economy and less room. When it comes to the business of transporting people, there are few better vehicles. They are, essentially, containers on wheels, but without the rough edge of the more traditional vans. True, they may not have the “sparkling lifestyle” ambiance of the SUV, but some of them share basic platforms with the “bigger boys” and have more efficient packaging.
