About
A minivan is a family vehicle designed for maximum interior cabin space, stretching nearly 17 feet long.
Minivans share platforms with passenger cars, which keeps them lower to the ground than truck-based SUVs or commercial vans. Most modern models measure between 16 and 17 feet long to fit two or three rows of reconfigurable passenger seats. Even with a height similar to an average adult, their flat floor provides more enclosed cargo volume than most full-size SUVs.
From Wikipedia
A minivan, commonly known as a van, is a car classification for vehicles designed to transport passengers in the rear seating row(s), with reconfigurable seats in two or three rows. The equivalent classification in Europe is MPV, people carrier, or M-segment.
