The MPV will make a comeback and Malaysians will once again embrace its family friendly benefits. FMTNews FMTLifestyle MPV SUV DSF
Remember the popularity of the Multi-Purpose Vehicle , or people carrier from the late 1980’s to the 1990’s?
What then happened to the Honda Freed, Toyota Wish, Honda Stream, Volkswagen Touran and Mazda Biante in Malaysia?It seems that today only the Nissan Serena is keeping families happy with a single compact MPV choice in Malaysia. Yes the Proton Exora is still on sale but this is a 10 plus year old product.
In 2019 the Sienta was retired due to slowing sales despite many of its owners praising its space, utility, power sliding doors, comfortable seating for seven and easy city driving dynamics.Then from 2010 onwards mid-sized MPV’s felt the sales pinch. The Ford S-Max, Volkswagen Sharan, BMW 2 Series Grand Tourer and Citroen Picasso arrived with great features, safety kits, innovative seating and roomy space.
For the 2012 to 2013 period, the trend started changing and consumers wanted crossovers and SUV’s with seven row seats and a high riding stance despite having less room inside the cabin.As families moved towards owning a seven-seat SUV, the demand for the compact MPV dwindled. However, after a few weeks with these compact Crossovers, owners with large families soon realised that the Crossover or Compact SUV did not offer the space, legroom and comfort that an MPV did.
