The best way to haul people and cargo is still with an MPV. These are the best ones currently on sale
Multi-purpose vehicles (MPVs) are among the most versatile forms of transport you can find, majoring on space, practicality and people-carrying.
One of their biggest selling points is their extremely efficient use of space, which means they’re often better value than vehicles with a similar footprint.
But don’t think MPVs are lacking in other areas. They’re packed with clever and handy features that reduce the stress of transporting families, often to better effect than some of the best SUVs.
