=== Chassis ===
In contrast to larger vans, most modern minivans/MPVs use a front-engine, front-wheel drive layout, while some model lines offer all-wheel drive as an option (ie.

Alongside adopting the form factor introduced by [[Chrysler minivans]], the configuration allows for less engine intrusion and a lower floor in the passenger compartment. In line with larger full-size vans, unibody construction has been commonly used (the spaceframe design of the [[Renault Espace]] and the [[Chevrolet Lumina APV|General Motors APV minivans]] being exceptions).

Minivans/MPVs are produced on distinct chassis architecture or share platforms with other vehicles such as sedans and [[crossover SUV]]s. Minivans do not have as much ground clearance, towing capacity, or off-road capability compared to SUVs.<ref name="Trompete" /> Minivans provide more space for passengers and cargo than sedans and SUVs.<ref name="Trompete">{{cite web|url= https://www.kbb.com/car-advice/suv-vs-minivan/ |title=SUV or Minivan: Which Should You Choose? |first=Tara |last=Trompete |date=13 October 2023 |work=Kelly Blue Book |access-date=17 May 2024}}</ref>
