FactRight-hand-drive markets got this van as the Synergie, except New Zealand, which kept the Evasion name regardless.
The Eurovans are a family of large MPVs from Citroën, Peugeot, Fiat and Lancia, built at the jointly owned Sevel Nord factory in France and launched in March 1994. They differ little technically and visually, a prime example of badge engineering, and share mechanicals and body structure with the Sevel Nord light commercial vans, the Citroën Jumpy (Dispatch), Fiat Scudo and Peugeot Expert. The first generation used PSA's XU / XUD engines, later replaced by the PSA EW / DW engines, and all were mated to five-speed manual transmissions apart from the 2.0 16-valve EW petrol engine, which had an option of a four-speed automatic. The Evasion (French: Évasion) was badged Synergie in the right-hand-drive markets of both the United Kingdom and Ireland, though the car kept the Evasion name in New Zealand. In October 1998 it received a slight facelift, and more than 120,000 Evasion/Synergie were produced.

This Presage minivan shares its underlying platform with the Teana sedan and the North American Murano crossover — one architecture doing three very different jobs.

Subaru's family-hauling Exiga got an unlikely STi treatment in 2009 — front spoiler, sport muffler, tighter suspension and a leather Momo wheel — but only 300 were ever built.

YRV stands for Young Recreational Vehicle, a mini MPV built to out-handle its own segment rivals.

The Terraza was Buick's first-ever minivan for the North American market - a badge-engineered cousin of the Chevrolet Uplander, Pontiac Montana SV6, and Saturn Relay.

The restyled 1994 Lumina Minivan quietly made American automotive history: it was the first minivan sold in the US with a power sliding door you could open by remote.

The first-generation Lumina APV minivan was nicknamed the "Dustbuster" by the press for its sharply sloped windshield, which pushed the dashboard far forward of the driver.

Its steeply sloped windshield gave the Lumina APV one of the deepest dashboards ever fitted to a mass-produced car.

The first Presage wasn't really its own car underneath — most of its parts came straight from the Nissan R'nessa, with more shared with its platform twin, the Bassara.
