Why do some station wagons get good reviews but no sales? The biggest reason?

With the continuous development of social economy and the continuous improvement of per capita living standards, people's demand for cars is also increasing. Now that almost every family can afford a car, cars are no longer as scarce as they used to be. Most are cars or SUVs, they rarely see station wagons on the streets. Not only is the station wagon better than the sedan in terms of space, performance or fuel economy, it doesn't sell very well in China. The proportion of SUVs in the domestic automobile market is getting higher and higher, and more and more consumers are buying SUV models. They believe that SUVs can not only meet the needs of large space for riding and storage, but also meet the needs of short-distance self-driving trips.

Most people, when buying something, don’t just place an order simply because of its merits. Especially when buying bulk commodities, caution and extreme pragmatism are the principles that most people will follow. Therefore, SUVs with larger space, better visibility, and stronger passability will be favored by Chinese people. Chinese consumers are crazy about SUV models. Pure supercar manufacturers such as Maserati, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, and even Lamborghini have also launched their own SUV models.

Shanghai Volkswagen has launched a travel version of the legendary car Santana. This car is popular among many government officials due to its huge space and durable leather. Compared with ordinary hatchback storage space, due to the shape design of the station wagon, the trunk space is much larger, which is no less than that of an SUV. In addition, the car-based body shape gives the station wagon the handling characteristics of a car. It is also better in terms of fuel consumption and driving comfort, and can meet the various needs of urban transportation and travel. Nowadays, most domestic consumers are busy with work on weekdays, and there are few days in a year when they can travel by car. Buying back a station wagon is unrealistic. Facing the potholes and urban roads of daily commuting, it seems more appropriate to choose an urban SUV with a solid chassis.
