A station wagon, also known as an estate car or a touring car in some countries, is a type of vehicle that combines the features of a sedan and a light truck. It typically has a box-like body with side windows, a large cargo area, and seating for multiple passengers. Station wagons were popular family vehicles in the mid-20th century, offering both comfort and practicality for long road trips. While they are not as common today as they once were, some automakers still produce station wagons, such as Volvo, Subaru, and Volkswagen.
