2.1.3.h Minivan, microvan and compactvan
In short: one-/two-compartment, four-/five-door, four-/seven passengers
Remembering the metamorphosis of the wagon car body, we smoothly approached the cars that embody utility and nepotism. Minivan is the leader in terms of the number of possible options for transforming the passenger compartment among all body types. This is mainly a two-compartment, very rarely one-compartment car body with five, six or seven seats, with four (one rear sliding) or five doors (all doors are suspended or two rear sliding doors). The main advantage of any minivan is that the rear seats can be folded completely or separately. In some cases, they can be adjusted, thus adjusting the passenger compartment of the car for specific needs.
Having slightly reduced in size, trimming the functionality of the passenger compartment, but without damaging the comfort of passengers, we get a microvan body type. Otherwise, it is still the same minivan.
The compact van inherited only the height of the ceiling and the approaching vertical landing of the driver and passengers from its "brothers" with a common "van" part. At the same time, it maintains comfort at the proper level, but only for a maximum of five people. The luggage compartment, alas, suffered the most from these transformations.
