Though not many are encountered within the range of the eyesight, we can definitely say that the craze for the Mutli Purpose Vehicle (MPV) is slowly building up in the country. In a layman terms, a car with the largest interior space minus the rugged look of an SUV is an MPV. Taller than any hatchback and longer than any sedan, a thorough SUV, but deceptively wrapped in the clothes of some decent cover up is an ideal definition of an MPV according to me. An MPV on an overview has the capacity to accommodate an entire family of a large size throwing in all the essentials and you are all set for the long journey ahead. What more can a customer ask for, if the car comes at an affordable price tag. The string of upcoming MPV launches tells us, why the MPVs are worth the buy.
