MPV / people carrier / minivan Explanation: http://www.presse-francophone.org/apfa/Defi/M/MONOSPAC.htm MONOSPACE, n. m. Domaine : transport / automobile. Définition : voiture, généralement monocorps*, dont l'espace utile commun aux passagers et aux bagages est modulable. I've got one of those and mine has 5 doors. Hope this is of some help! Sheila Note : le terme monospace est la contraction de "mono-espace". Anglais : multi purpose vehicle (MPV), people carrier, minivan. Source : arrêté du 18 décembre 1990 (J.O. du 29 janvier 1991). |

MPV / multispace Explanation: I think multispace cars normally have 2 sliding doors. MPVs can have 3 or 5 doors. I have a Renault Espace with 5 doors.
