Legendary models talk about the development of MPV

Today, walking in the street, we can see a variety of MPVs everywhere. It has become an indispensable part of our lives and is favored by more and more people. do you know? The development of MPV has had a legendary history.

There was no so-called MPV in the early cars until the concept of MPV was first proposed in the 1980s. The fight for the originator of MPV was also carried out between Americans and Europeans.

Americans believed that the originator of MPV was the Plymouth Voyager and Dodge Caravan launched by Chrysler in November 1983. It was positioned as a small van. The Europeans considered the Espace produced by Renault in 1984 as the first in the world. MPV, which is positioned as a utility vehicle. The difference in concept triggered the competition between the MPVs. In the end, the concept of the MPV utility vehicle was widely accepted, while the US car received the title of the originator of MPV.

When it comes to the originator of MPV, Chrysler can be said to have contributed. In the United States in the 1970s, a serious economic crisis broke out. The American automobile industry has been declining under such economic conditions. In order to face the Japanese car, but also in order to gain a foothold in the market, Chrysler consider launching a new model, and this model must avoid strong opponents, but also can be welcomed by people in order to let themselves back to life. The new model was defined as a new compact van wagon. After six years of development, Chrysler finally ushered in the birth of the first mini wagon in 1983, which changed the large wagon. The truck chassis and the non-independent suspension structure of the leaf springs enhance comfort and bring a driving feeling like a car. In the first year after the launch of the new model, the sales volume reached 210,000, which will be the recovery of Chrysler in the future. To no small effect.

The development of multi-functional MPVs is due to Renault's Espace. The interior floor of the car is flat and 5-7 seats are mounted on the track, which brings infinite changes to the interior space of the car. Afterwards, the design of MPV models is mostly Follow this direction.

The Japanese MPV was born later, and inherited more American style. It lacks the versatility of European MPV models. Among them, several Toyota PREVIA, Nissan Quest, Honda Elysion and other models have a greater impact.

Since the advent of the first MPV for more than 30 years, MPV has also been developing in a more refined direction. Today, with the emergence of a large number of SUV models, the development of MPV itself has been seriously hindered, but with its own characteristics, MPV still occupies an important position in modern models.

History is always moving forward, and cars are the same. Along with the continuous improvement of people's living standards, cars will continue to evolve toward higher demands on people. The appearance of MPV may be a natural product of the development of automobile history, and Chrysler is fortunate to be the first successor to this historical mission. In the future, we have reason to believe that cars will evolve into more varieties, and MPV will surely become a glorious chapter in the history of automobile development.
