MPVs can be classified in various ways; for instance, based on usage, they can be categorized into family-oriented and commercial models. In terms of seating capacity, they range from 5-seaters and 7-seaters-such as the Nissan Shuai Ke and Dongfeng Fengxing Lingzhi-to models with even higher seating capacities, like the Jinbei Granse.
Regarding development platforms, some MPVs are built on passenger car platforms, while others are derived from light commercial vans.
