Mpv is an acronym that stands for “multi purpose vehicle.”
it's a cross-over vehicle with the functionality of both station wagon and minivan. you are able to use this type of car because it can carry seven people, yet retains the maneuverability of a car. generally speaking there are very high safety ratings associated with this vehicle. it also can be exceptionally fuel efficient if configured properly, while providing roomy seats for everyone in the vehicle.
which is better mpv or suv?
this is a difficult question to answer because there are many different types of vehicles that fall into the mpv and suv genres.
if you're looking for a vehicle with cargo space (i.e., doesn't need to be parked near an airport) then the mpv would probably serve you well. if, on the other hand, your driving needs call for all-terrain capabilities, then your best bet would be either an suv or truck; however bumpy roads and high speeds (particularly at undeveloped areas and at night) should always be avoided as these conditions do not bode well even for the most sturdy of all-terrains out there! if safety is what you're after then once again it depends
what does mpv mean in a car?
according to the epa, mpv is a measurement of gallon-per-mile ethanol under standard driving conditions.

mpv = miles per gallon – miles per valuable fuel (ethanol)
this can be confusing because many people consider miles per gallon as the best way to measure fuel economy in cars, but this doesn't work well when applied to gas alternative like e85 (also known as flex fuel). a better way to measure mpv is by adding up total gallons consumed and dividing it by total miles driven; this provides an accurate comparison with gasoline car efficiency which also measures mpg or mi/gal.
what is the difference between suv and mpv cars?
the difference between an suv and a mpv is the type of vehicle it is. in general, vehicles classified under the suv category are off-road capable vehicles. these vehicles often have a higher center of gravity and are designed for sport utility purposes over passenger service delivery.
mpvs provide for larger interior since they typically seat at least eight people and use all available space inside in terms of seating or storage compartments in order to accommodate long-distance travel
an suv is utilized mostly when it comes to off road trips, whereas an mpv has everything you could need on a long distance trip such as enough seats and cargo room so that everyone can be comfortable while traveling without sacrificing too much room when switching gears from style to function.
