M-segment
M-segment is the European segments for passenger cars described as "multi purpose vehicles". It covers multi-purpose vehicles, minivans and cargo vans. The minivans often have removeable rear seating to provide flexibility for transporting passengers or cargo, while the cargo vans 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.
