What is a Multi-Purpose Vehicle?

An Overview of the Multi-Purpose Vehicle and the Latest Kia MPV: The 2022 Kia Carnival MPV

Announced earlier this year, the all-new 2022 Kia Carnival is officially out now! Kenosha, WI residents can find the vehicle right at Palmen Kia as we speak. However, there has been a bit of confusion around the model’s Multi-Purpose Vehicle tagline. What is a multi-purpose vehicle? We explain the moniker and provide key features in the 2022 Kia Carnival that make it an MPV.

Multi-Purpose Vehicles Are Considered People-Carriers

In essence, modern Multi-Purpose Vehicles are meant to transport a large number of people. Most options will provide space from about five to eight total passengers with three rows. Such models are larger than typical sedans to provide easier access and are constructed on a larger chassis, such as a truck chassis. While it’s easy to classify larger vehicles as minivans, it’s similar to a ‘squares to rectangles’ relationship: minivans are MPVs, but not all MPVs are minivans.
