Mini-MPV: Fiat 500L (2018)
Large-MPV: Ford S-Max (2018)
Full-size cargo van: Mercedes-Benz Sprinter (2019)

M-segment is the European segments for passenger cars described as "multi purpose vehicles".[1][2][3] It covers multi-purpose vehicles, minivans and cargo vans.[4] The minivans (also called MPVs or passenger vans) often have removeable rear seating to provide flexibility for transporting passengers or cargo, while the cargo vans (also called light commercial vehicles) are primarily designed for transporting cargo and therefore do not have rear seats.

In the recent past, the M-segment was increasing in volume year over year in Europe; in 2015, it is consolidated as the fourth most popular segment (11.5% of the overall market after C-segment, J-segment and B-segment).[5]
