Wagon

As the oldest body style, wagons have come a long way since station wagons — those huge passenger vehicles with tailgates popular in the 50s and 60s — which evolved from covered wagons used to convey passengers from a train “station” to their hotel. Nowadays, wagons have similar passenger room and driving characteristics as sedans but have more cargo room, some with even a third-row seat. Our writers are among the best automotive writers in the US and keep you up to date on the latest wagon news. We’d love to hear back from you in our comments section and don’t neglect to send your favorite posts to your friends and social media networks.
