The station wagon is driven by people who know the lifestyle. Why do so few people buy it?

With the continuous improvement of material living standards, car owners who like to travel have a clearer positioning of car selection, and the station wagon sounds like a car suitable for travel.

So what exactly is a station wagon?

Wagon is the English word for WAGON, which is marked in English at some rear ends.

Baojun 3 10W is a station wagon, so a w is added after 3 10, and the English label is also at the rear of the car.

Evolution of station wagon

In ancient times, a station wagon was a trailer pulled behind a carriage. Today's station wagon is a traditional car, with a lid on the trunk butt, which makes it a station wagon.

After careful observation, it is not difficult to find that many car companies divide a model into sedan version, hatchback version and travel version, and a BMW unit is such a routine.

The earliest station wagon in China was Peugeot 505SW8.

Volkswagen's station wagon is Sanglv, which is the classic Volkswagen Santana in the driving school that we are familiar with, and there is a cover at the back.

The rear seats of the station wagon will support a ratio of 4/6. After the seat is put down, the rear seat will get a very large longitudinal space, which can be used to place snowboards, bicycles, swimming rings, fishing rods and other large items.

The trunk has a big opening and is high enough to be eaten by a big guy like a stroller, and it can hold things better than the trunk of an ordinary car without a cover.

The chassis and engine are all original as standard in the sedan version, and even the transmission system is the same. The steering and handling of corners are more flexible than many SUVs.

Other foreign brands call it many names, but in China it has only one name, that is, station wagon.

It's called style. If you call the coach, you will be demoted. As soon as you listen, it must be a tourist bus, a scenic spot tour bus, and the word travel is romantic.

People who like station wagons are generally people who have returned from studying abroad. Editors of car websites, people who pursue lifestyles, and owners of station wagons will all say that they know a lot about cars.

It's rare on the road because the market is small. In China, the station wagon is positioned as a car that people who pursue lifestyle like to drive.

In Europe, the station wagon is not a fashionable car, but a very practical tool car.

Why does the station wagon have such a good space and the same handling as a car, but it still doesn't sell well?

In the final analysis, it is still the aesthetics of Chinese people. A car is a car, which is very beautiful and conforms to the mainstream. Moreover, with a cover at the back, it instantly became a hatchback, which makes people feel that it is a large hatchback and does not conform to the mainstream.

Since they are all the same cars with the same performance, why not choose a car with a more beautiful appearance?

Domestic station wagons are mostly imported cars, and the price is very high, even more expensive than the same car. As I said before, the sedan is more atmospheric.

Since your station wagon is expensive, you might as well buy a cheaper car.

Summary:

The price of the second-hand car of the station wagon is unstable and it is very diving. You can't expect others to praise your car for its style.

Someone will ask you what's the use of making this hatchback for so long? You can answer that it's called a station wagon, which is specially used for traveling.
