Millennials might be bringing back the minivan
Minivan sales have surged by 21% in 2025 compared to the previous year, reaching their highest market share in almost seven years, as millennials increasingly consider them for family transport. This resurgence is attributed to a combination of factors including affordability, the practical benefits of features like sliding doors, and the evolution of minivan design to include sportier versions, hybrid options, and all-wheel drive.
The comeback of the minivan signals a shift in consumer preferences within the family car market, driven by economic considerations and a re-evaluation of the vehicle's practicality and style by a new generation of buyers.
