Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between MPVs and SUVs?

SUVs (Sport Utility Vehicles) are designed for sport and utility, combining the comfort and space of a station wagon with off-road capabilities. They typically have a spacious design with a higher chassis and four-wheel drive systems to handle rugged terrain.

MPVs (Multi-Purpose Vehicles), on the other hand, are designed for versatility, featuring a taller roof, boxy shape, and longer body, usually seating seven with ample boot space. They emphasize space and passenger capacity rather than off-road performance, often equipped with electric sliding doors for easy entry and exit.

What to consider when purchasing an MPV?

When considering the purchase of an MPV, first pay attention to the vehicle's exterior design, as a boxy shape allows for a more spacious interior and easier loading. Next, consider seat functions and comfort, the availability of electric sliding doors, entertainment systems and safety features.
