Why MPVs Are “Smarter Road Cars” for Indian Families

• Safety & utility: MPVs promise more interior space, which means better crash protection, more room for kids, and luggage.

• Connected future: As more MPVs get ADAS and connected tech, they could become safer and more efficient long-haul family vehicles.
