Consumers are increasingly looking for minivans that offer advanced features such as touchscreen infotainment systems, advanced safety features, and hybrid or electric powertrain options. This trend is driven by the growing awareness of environmental issues and the desire for more fuel-efficient vehicles. Another trend in the market is the increasing competition among automakers.
