Why do some people say they like station wagons but see very few on the road?

A station wagon has many advantages. In other countries in the world, especially European and American countries, this style is the most popular, but the Chinese have never accepted it. There are very few station wagons that can be seen on the road, even fewer than super sports cars. This phenomenon is caused by the fact that the appearance of station wagons does not meet the aesthetic taste of most Chinese people and the price is relatively high.

For Chinese aesthetics, the appearance of station wagons is not very good. Many station wagons have large rear ends, but the Chinese don't like this look. In the eyes of consumers in our country, this kind of station wagon is like a long and narrow box. Station wagons don’t look very beautiful, so they won’t be loved by Chinese people.

The second reason is that station wagons are very impractical in the eyes of the Chinese. As we all know, the most important feature of a station wagon is its good handling. But for many people, buying a car is to facilitate travel, rather than simply pursuing good maneuverability. Traffic congestion is terrible in many big cities in China: I bought a station wagon, and the driving performance is not reflected in the practicality of city driving.

Thirdly, station wagons are very expensive. Let’s take the Volkswagen Passat as an example: the price of the regular Passat is around 200,000 yuan, while the travel version starts at 250,000 yuan, and the top version starts at 400,000 yuan. After comparison, we found that many cars are imported models and are very expensive, and the cost of NIO cars is not cheap either. Compared with SUVs, station wagons are still too "niche". Everyone says that they long for "poetry and distance", but there are many people who cannot complete the idea of ????self-driving travel every year. This is also the hard truth that it is extremely inconvenient to go to and from get off work every day. Price is the last word in the Chinese market. It has also resulted in station wagons being sold much less than SUVs with lower front chassis on the market.
