Definition of a mini MPV

2000 Nissan Cube

A mini MPV is similar in concept to a leisure activity vehicle, which is a passenger derivative of a panel van with mini MPVs sharing interiors and specifications with their supermini derivative while the van derivative will have less expensive materials. Mini MPVs are generally the same length as a supermini, but with a taller body. The Nissan Note is one of the largest mini MPV at 4085 mm long.
