Contemporary compact multi-purpose vehicles challenge the odds by mixing practicality with elegance. The broad front grille and halogen headlights are just some of the stylish design features that exemplify the new face of these multi-purpose family vehicles. Whether it’s a five-seater or the larger seven-seater MPV, the efficiency, flexibility and quality of these small vans set new standards. These rugged compact MPVs enable you to live life the way you want. Elegance Comes Standard Standard and elegance are seldom used in the same sentence, but contemporary compact MPVs exude plenty of standard, stylish features. Standard front fog lights and colour-coded bumpers add to these compact MPVs’ elegant front profile. The high roof line points to the spacious interior, one of the benefits of owning these multi-purpose family vehicles. With a wheelbase of 3.0 metres in the seven-seater MPV, and a height of over 1.8 metres, there's plenty of space to customise the cabin to suit your transport needs. Modern-day compact MPVs have as an option, a detachable towbar as well as a fixed towbar, both with a trailer stabilisation. All-round heat insulating glass reduces the intensity of sunlight and heat build-up inside these utility vehicles. Not only is the cabin temperature easy to regulate, but the new compact MPVs also boast reduced interior noise levels. Even though these ground-breaking compact MPVs are family vehicles, they are also impeccable multi-purpose vehicles which appeal to rental companies as well. Unrivalled Performance and Safety on the Road Today’s compact MPVs are available in a range of models, and small van enthusiasts can choose from the 1.6 litre petrol engine, the 2.0 litre diesel engine, or the range topping 2.0 litre automatic diesel engine. Using quiet and efficient direct fuel injection engines, these compact MPVs offer unrivalled performance on the road. The direct fuel injection technology ensures turbo-charged power, fuel efficiency and reduced carbon emissions on the 2.0 litre MPV models. The engine emits a total of 166g/km CO2 in the top-of-the-range seven-seater MPVs with automatic transmission. With a respectable reputation for reliability and safety, modern compact multi-purpose vehicles are built to perform and protect. Electromechanical power-steering makes every journey a pleasure in modern-day MPVs. All current compact MPV models have a wheel lock prevention system as standard. This system prevents the driven wheels from locking on slippery surfaces when under the influence of engine braking. To add more style and improve appearance, the range has 15” rims & 195/65 tyres for the five-seater and 16” Siracusa alloy wheels & 205/55 tyres in the seven-seater MPVs. Park distance control at the rear is optional on all the modern compact MPV models. This convenient system detects the close proximity to other objects when parking the vehicle, especially in tight spaces. In addition to being stylish, modern compact MPVs are reliable and practical. Whether you’re a camper, bike rider, family man or mom’s taxi, contemporary MPVs have been designed to suit your lifestyle.
