passenger vehicle

Automobile for people

A passenger vehicle is any motor vehicle designed primarily to transport people rather than cargo.

The term encompasses cars, minivans, SUVs, and buses, distinguishing them from freight trucks, construction equipment, and other commercial vehicles.

Government regulations often define passenger vehicles by seating capacity or weight class: Passenger vehicles under 10,000 pounds have different emission standards.
