What's the difference between a station wagon and an SUV?

They have different functions and different design concepts. They are all designed with two boxes of cars in appearance.

Station wagons are very popular abroad. Outsiders like to take their children and their families to go on road trip on weekends, and often need to bring many outdoor appliances, such as bicycles, barbecue grills, tent swimming rings, etc. Therefore, we need a car with a large space to put these things, which can't be put down by ordinary cars. The station wagon is generally a hatchback with a long body. Generally, there are three rows (the seats in the back row are very narrow, so people are generally not seated), and the space is much larger at once. The station wagon is often on the roof.

Car owners in China are often lazy and generally don't travel like this.

All off-road vehicles are hatchbacks, whose main feature is not space, but strong traffic capacity, so they must be able to pass unimpeded under bad road conditions (muddy ground, soil slope, roads, etc.). ). Therefore, in design, off-road vehicles have large displacement and large torque, which can ensure climbing and getting rid of muddy roads. Secondly, the off-road vehicle chassis is high, so it is not easy to support the bottom, and it is stuck by stones.

It is easy to see the difference between the two. Off-road vehicle chassis is very high and tires are relatively large. Usually a spare tire is hung at the back. The front part of the off-road vehicle is quite prominent, which is very different from ordinary cars. The station wagon is generally longer, approaching or exceeding the length of three boxes, but it is longer than the average two boxes, and its shape is close to that of a car, and the top is often polite to the gun rack.
