By mpv i meant this:

Probably what you call a minivan

(English isn't my mother tongue, so i'm probably in the wrong here)

Okay. Those aren't considered big cars in the US. They are the compact alternative to behemoth 3-row SUVs like the GMC Yukon.

That is indeed an MPV, what we call a "people carrier" in Britain, and I think you're right that Americans would call it a mini van

Yes, it's called a minivan in North America.
