minivan
Suburban parent's ride
A minivan is a boxy passenger vehicle larger than a station wagon, with sliding side doors and seating for six to eight people.
The design prioritizes interior space over style, making minivans practical for families with children: We piled into the minivan for the road trip.
The word carries suburban-parent connotations that some find unflattering.
