minifourgonnette; fourgonnette : Au Canada, ces deux termes sont employés comme équivalents du terme anglais «minivan». S'il est vrai que le terme «fourgonnette» contient déjà le sens de «petit», le terme «minifourgonnette» est utile lorsque l'on doit distinguer des fourgonnettes de tourisme de différentes dimensions. En anglais, on trouve le terme générique «van» qui peut désigner soit la «full-size van», soit la «minivan», entre autres véhicules. Dans ce cas, on pourra traduire en français «van» par «fourgonnette», «full-size van» par «fourgonnette de grande taille» et «minivan» par «minifourgonnette». 4, record 1, French, - minifourgonnette

Y, ¿la minivan? […] Se fabricó para satisfacer la demanda de familias suburbanas, necesitadas de un transporte de pasajeros de gran capacidad […]. Para que las minivan fueran un éxito debían ser eficientes en consumo de combustible; tener un costo razonable de mantenimiento y caber en un garaje de una casa de clase media. Generalmente las minivan tienen asientos removibles, por lo cual su función utilitaria no se pierde. 1, record 1, Spanish, - minivan
