These are the 7 best station wagons

03 september 2019

A station wagon is also called a combi, estate or break in Dutch and is a car with more space than the original model. This extra space is often created by not letting the rear of the car slope downwards, but rather letting it continue at the same height. This means there is quite a bit of space in the back and you also often have a lot of luggage space in the trunk.

The station wagon

The name station wagon comes from the original use of these types of cars around stations. They were often used as taxis to provide before and after transport from the station. The raised rear was very useful because of the large luggage space for the passengers' suitcases. But what are the best and most sporty station wagons of the moment? We are happy to tell you this in the text below. The cars are named in random order because we know that tastes can differ, even when it comes to the best station wagons. The best station wagons of the moment are described below in random order.
