Comfort and capacity

Driving a station wagon
Because it’s more aerodynamic in design, its center of gravity and its drag are lower. That means the station wagon offers greater fuel efficiency without sacrificing carrying capacity. A wagon hugs the road, which gives the handling feel of a sedan and can make it more maneuverable than a sport utility or crossover vehicle. With a variety of engine and transmission choices, today’s station wagon can be a real performance vehicle with all of the acceleration of a sedan.
