An article about the best-selling station wagons in Russia in 2016, their features and characteristics. At the end of the article - a video about the advantages and disadvantages of station wagons.


The content of the article:

Real workhorses, which are station wagons, completely undeservedly do not enjoy special love from the consumer. For this reason, the number of cars with a similar body supplied to Russia has always been small. And the economic crisis has further reduced their number and distributed the preferences of motorists as follows:

Rating of station wagons sold in Russia

1. Lada Largus


Produced only in station wagon body, this model has far surpassed the popularity of perennial favorites Granta and Vesta. The car is completely copied from the Dacia Logan MCV produced by Renaul-Nissan and is presented in the domestic car market in the form of a 5- and 7-seater version.

The car offers an exclusively manual transmission, and the basic equipment consists of air conditioning, airbags and an audio system.


The interior, as it should be for a car of this type, is very practical and roomy, and the seats can be folded in several ways. The designers have specially strengthened the brake mechanisms and suspension arms so that the model can withstand the realities of our roads.

The uncomplicated exterior is justified by the utilitarian purpose for commercial cargo transportation, and not for family use. Since 70% of spare parts and components are produced in Russia, the car is very easy to maintain, which made it popular. When compiling the rating, car owners admitted that for the first time since the 80s, AvtoVAZ produced a truly functional car with decent modern equipment of European quality.

The car is equipped with two types of engines - both 1.6-liter volume, 87-horsepower and 105-horsepower, removed from Renault Logan. The abilities of such motors have been tested in practice for years and have shown excellent performance. And the 5-speed gearbox has a design of French parts, specially selected for this model, based on the load capacity and the condition of the road surface.

The disadvantages include poor-quality sound insulation, low ground clearance due to the location of the spare wheel under the bottom of the car, and the design of the front pillar reduces the driver's view by closing the exterior mirror.

2. Lada Kalina


Although the car is available in station wagon and hatchback, motorists choose the first option. Moreover, consumers tend not to budget version with an 87-horsepower engine and laconic equipment, and to a more modernized configuration. So the model got into the rating from 106- strong engine and 5-speed "mechanics", the price of which varies from 519 thousand rubles.

This 5-door model fell in love with summer residents and people who love outdoor activities. The car easily overcomes our national off-road, and a roomy trunk is suitable for a large amount of luggage, sports equipment and garden tools. Its claimed 400 liters of luggage space after removing the rear shelf increases by another 100 liters.

Elegant, but simple interior and exterior, climate control, ABS, maneuverability and stability on the road made "Kalina" a very frequent guest on Russian roads.

3. KIA Ceed SW


The Korean auto industry has been leading in consumer ratings for many years different countries, he did not leave indifferent and Russian motorists.

A more rigid body has lost heavy elements, acquiring greater dynamism. Rear racks, windowsill lines, expressive headlights give the model even sporty look, equalizing it with the 5-door hatchback of the same name. This car was created for older people who care about details. Therefore, to the outer and inner view approached with greater care and attention. Quality salon, trunk for 528 liters, functional rails for luggage and additional compartments under the raised floor, excellent sound insulation make the model very practical and comfortable.

Impressive and electronic stuffing: downhill assist, electric parking brake, parking sensors and a set of steering modes. A very quiet, not gluttonous 129-horsepower engine is paired with a manual gearbox and accelerates the car to 100 km in 11 seconds. Competent suspension allows you to move around light off-road. In addition, this model is not at all afraid wet road and ice, showing miracles of stability.

The main advantage of this station wagon is the cost. For the top version, you will have to pay a little more than 900 thousand rubles, which is one of the most low prices in this segment. At the same time, the car owner will receive a really good car, reliable, equipped with a decent level of options and very budget-friendly to maintain.

4 Ford Focus


More than a quarter of all Ford cars purchased by Russian car enthusiasts in 2016 came from a 105-horsepower 1.6-liter station wagon.

This is the absolute embodiment family car mobile, comfortable, stylish and reliable. Various configurations suggest different choice functions - 2-zone climate control, travel assistants, cruise control.

Petrol engines 85, 105 and 125-horsepower or 140-horsepower diesel are powered by a 5-speed manual or “robot”. The most powerful version overcomes the “hundred” in 9.4 seconds. Additional driver pleasure will be delivered by the EcoBoost system, an upgraded suspension and power steering.

The spacious interior can be further increased by changing the positions of the seats, and the trunk volume is 476 liters in the most minimal version. The basic version includes airbags, air conditioning, heated mirrors and a radio.

The shortcomings of the model include an abundance of extra buttons on the dashboard, which distract the motorist. The owners also noted the not very convenient location of the gearbox.

5. Hyundai i40


It is surprising that a far from budget Korean worth a million rubles enjoys such love from Russian motorists.

Draws particular attention Comfort package with a 2-liter 149-horsepower gasoline engine and a 6-speed automatic.

The appearance of the model over the years acquires more and more flowing lines, which once again refutes the opinion about the boring station wagons. An elongated roof flows smoothly into the fifth door, and a spoiler above it gives a sporty look.

The salon has an informative dashboard, comfortable chairs made of quality, soft materials enough space for passengers in the back seat. A special acoustic package of sound-absorbing mats, layers in the engine compartment, textile inserts in the wheel arches significantly reduced extraneous noise and vibration.

The basic equipment includes heating and electric mirrors, air conditioning, radio, fog lights and a multi-wheel. And the luggage compartment offers 1720 liters of free space.

Two petrol and two diesel engines come with all kinds of gearboxes - mechanical, automatic and robotic.

The passive safety system consists of side and knee curtains, as well as airbags. Active - ESP+ ABS, Hill Start Assist, Stability Control, Emergency Brake Assist.

6. Skoda Octavia Combi


The model differs in high practicality and comfort. One-volume cabin allows you to transport oversized cargo, and due to the folded rear seats turns into commercial transport. In the new model, the creators have very rationally placed equipment, control systems and all additional accessories.

The luggage compartment compared to its predecessor has increased from 590 liters to 610, and with the seats folded down - up to all 1740 liters. The high-performance disc brakes are ventilated to cool them down after braking, while the suspension features multi-link design for a smoother ride. Wide choice of engines:

  • 1.2-liter 86 and 105-horsepower gasoline;
  • 1.6-liter 140-horsepower gasoline;
  • 1.8-liter 180-horsepower gasoline.
The owners note the excellent work of engineers and designers in combining practicality, beauty and cost of the car.

7. Hyundai i30


Created on the basis of the Hyundai Elantra J3, over the years it has become more and more solid due to the enlarged trunk lid and embossed bumper.

The interior of the model is completely similar to the hatchback: ergonomic, high-quality finish, comfortable for the driver and passengers. The luggage compartment of 1642 liters is adapted for transportation oversized cargo, and small things can be placed in a deep compartment under the false floor.

For Russian motorists, a single version is available with a 1.6-liter 130-horsepower gasoline engine that develops a speed of 192 km / h and is aggregated with a 6-speed automatic or manual of your choice. In urban mode, a very smoothly running engine consumes about 6.9 liters per 100 km. On rough roads, the car pleasantly pleases with confident stability and noiselessness.

8. Skoda Superb


The car is increasingly reoriented from the older generation to the youth, making it lighter and more stylish, while wider proportions give it a harmonious look.

The car impresses with the luggage compartment, which can be opened with a foot, passing it under the bumper, and placing loads up to 3 meters long. The station wagon is delivered to Russia only with a gasoline engine due to Bad quality our diesel. This can hardly be called a disadvantage, since economical diesel engines in practice showed a very sluggish ride. But there are complaints about the clarity of gear shifting and the clutch drive to the mechanical box.

Full climate control, heating of absolutely all seats and a lot of electronic assistants bring the model closer to the top version.

9 Seat Ibiza ST


A very unexpected participant in the rating, since this Spanish manufacturer, in principle, is not very popular in Russia. However, thanks to new development on the platform of the Volkswagen-owned Polo model, great engine and the level of the interior, the car has become a worthy competitor in its segment.

Among its characteristics, it should be noted:

  • bright high-quality design, which is rarely paid attention to station wagons;
  • decent, expensive materials in the cabin;
  • borrowed from Volkswagen boxes gears and engines;
  • low cost of maintenance and operation.
For its body type, this is a very compact model - only 4 meters in length. At the same time, the folded rear seats provide space for 1164 liters. With the model, only 1.2-liter, 1.4-liter, and 1.6-liter 85 and 105-horsepower gasoline engines go to Russia, the price of which varies between 600-730 thousand rubles.

Good steering, high-quality suspension, ESP testify to more than good drivability of the car.


The developers did not guess with the dashboard, whose cheap plastic, motley elements and incompatible colors make an ambiguous impression.

10 Opel Astra Family


The venerable German Opel closes the list. General Motors left behind the traditional model German quality assembly, excellent specifications and democratic price. All this together provides the car with a stable consumer interest.

The fact that the model belongs to the C-class obviously gives it advantages that are not available to all other participants in the rating - pure representatives of the B segment. These include:

  • huge salon;
  • no less huge trunk, which can easily fit even a refrigerator with an abundance of devices for convenient cargo securing;
  • reliable suspension that has passed many test drives and has been proven over the years;
  • economical German engine;
  • increased wheels and ground clearance, adapted specifically for Russian conditions.
The 4-cylinder 140-horsepower engine, which consumes about 10 liters per 100 kilometers in urban mode, speaks of driving characteristics.

Video about the advantages and disadvantages of station wagons:

Station wagons have been one of the most sought-after types of cars for many years. They are convenient and practical, have moderate fuel consumption, stylish appearance, dimensions that allow you to feel comfortable in the city. That is why such cars are extremely in demand among travel enthusiasts, as well as connoisseurs of comfort and practicality. Station wagons are very popular in Russia and other countries.

When compiling this list, we studied the 2017 station wagons model year and compared them in terms of:

  • Body and interior design;
  • The practicality of the car;
  • Driving performance;

Based on these characteristics, we were able to make a rating of station wagons from ten models, which, in our opinion, can be considered the best representatives of this class.

#10 Citroen C5 tourer

The front-wheel drive station wagon of the class "D", which premiered in 2014. Since then, the model has undergone certain changes in equipment and design both in this and in 2015.

The advantages of this model include the possibility of completing active suspension Hydractive III +, which allows you to adjust the ground clearance, the presence of independent wheel suspension, navigation system, traction control, rear view camera and leather seats equipped with lumbar adjustment and massage function.

Can be equipped with motors from 150 to 200 Horse power, as well as a manual or automatic 6-speed gearbox.

#9 - Skoda Octavia Combi

Although this car is difficult to attribute to cheap station wagons, nevertheless, it is perhaps one of the best in terms of price and quality. The volume of this car is 1450 liters, which is a very good result in terms of roominess.

Depending on the configuration, the engine displacement can vary from 1395 to 1968 cubic centimeters, power from 110 to 180 horsepower. It is also quite important that the list of possible configurations also includes a model with all-wheel drive, which is characterized by increased cross-country ability.

#8 Opel Insignia

This car, some experts consider one of the best station wagons for the family.

The reason for this is that this machine is one of the most inexpensive in its class. Add to this the volume of the luggage compartment of 1530 liters, which will allow you to easily transport household items, things for leisure, etc., high level comfort and safety, and excellent technical characteristics, and you get a great all-rounder.

This car is equipped with the following types of engines:

  • Gasoline - power from 170 to 250 horsepower;
  • Diesel - power from 120 to 170 horsepower;

#7 - Peugeot 308SW

Compared to the 2014 model, this car has grown in length, which increased the volume of the trunk with the seats open to 610 liters. Using the new modular platform EMP2 allowed to reduce the weight of the car by 140 kilograms, which of course had a positive effect on efficiency and dynamics.

Depending on the configuration, several engine options are available from 110 to 150 horsepower. It is also possible to equip with a rear-view camera, automatic parking system, cruise control, etc.

#6 - Ford Mondeo

Roomy trunk with a volume of 1740 liters, comfortable lounge and a good two-liter engine and many other characteristics that make it possible to define this model as good wagon. Automobile Ford Mondeo equipped powerful engines EcoBoost, with a volume of 1.5 and 2 liters with a capacity of 160 to 240 horsepower. Also available with a diesel engine.

Another serious advantage, thanks to which this model can be attributed to the best station wagons of 2017, is the presence of a hybrid version.

#5 - Toyota Mark X Zio

This model is considered by many to be the epitome of the concept of "station wagon", due to the fact that it combines the size and comfort of a minivan and the driving characteristics of a good sedan. The exterior design can be called "inconspicuous" - the body is squat and wide, there are no prominent external details. In general, everything looks "simple and tasteful."

An additional advantage of this station wagon is that four people can easily and comfortably fit in the cabin. The seats can be adjusted in three different positions:

  • For a comfortable trip;
  • To accommodate a large company;
  • To increase space.

Thanks to high-quality steering reinforcement, Toyota Mark X Zio quickly responds to all driver commands. Add to this the option of buying an automatic or manual transmission model, as well as 2.4 and 3.5 liter engines, and it becomes clear that this car can be attributed to the best station wagons of 2017.

#4 - Mercedes-Benz CLA Shooting Brake

This car with all its appearance suggests that station wagons can also be attributed to prestigious cars. It was built on a class A front-wheel drive platform, just like its sedan counterpart.

There are currently three variants of this car on the market:

  • With an R4 diesel engine with a capacity of 204 horsepower and a volume of 2.143 cubic centimeters;
  • With a V6 diesel engine with a capacity of 249 horsepower and a volume of 2.987 cubic centimeters;
  • With a V6 gasoline engine with 333 horsepower and a volume of 2.996 cubic centimeters.

The result is a wagon with excellent engine power, good speed and amazing dynamics. However, its interior is not very spacious, which complicates the use of this model as a family car. In addition, we must not forget about the rather high price.

#3 - Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class

Already the second station wagon from the well-deserved German manufacturer in our ranking. One of the main differences of this model is that it is based on a four-door Coupe CLS. As a result, we got a very attractive appearance thanks to the elegant lines of the body, as well as excellent driving characteristics.

However, it has the same drawback as the previous car on our station wagon list - a relatively small trunk with the seats folded (590 liters). Accordingly, it is not suitable for transporting large items. In addition, the trunk has a wooden bottom trimmed with velor, which requires delicate handling.

Several configuration options are available, in particular with five different engines, including a powerful V8 with a volume of 5.5 liters.

#2 Cadillac Escalade ESV

This car is a bright contender for the role of the best all-wheel drive station wagon of 2017. The advantages of the Cadillac Escalade ESV are outstanding power, excellent handling, high permeability at the level of an SUV, high manufacturability.

The design of this station wagon clearly hints at its off-road ambitions, which is worth only an aggressive radiator shield and solid dimensions of this car. I must say that the size of this car had a great effect on the volume of the trunk, which is 747 liters with the seats unfolded. The maximum volume of the luggage compartment is as much as 3424 liters, which allows you to carry fairly large items.

Alas, a car with such dimensions and running characteristics it just can't be economical. In addition, its cost is far from affordable for everyone.

#1 - Skoda Superb Combi

Perhaps it will seem strange to someone that the first place in our rating was taken by a model that was originally designed as budget station wagon accessible to most.

But this car is the best representative its class in terms of price-quality ratio and is worthy to top our rating. And that's why:

  • Stylish design that combines modernity, rigor and sports car features, facilitated by an enlarged aerodynamic wing;
  • Possibility to purchase a variant with front or all-wheel drive;
  • Trunk volume with folded seats - 1895 liters, with unfolded - 660 liters;
  • The ability to choose one of several gasoline engines, some of which have a volume of two liters and power from 220 to 280 horsepower;
  • High-quality, and comfortable interior;

The use of a number of the latest technologies, including active and passive safety minimizing the likelihood of an accident and resulting damage.

Given the rather modest cost Skoda Superb Combi, all these advantages allow this wagon to take first place in our ranking.

In the price segment up to one and a half million rubles. In the second, we will pay attention to expensive station wagons, whose price tags begin after the announced mark. And for a snack, let's take a virtual tour of the dying minivan market.

In the price segment up to a million rubles, only localized models remained. This, of course, is the production of VAZ, as well as cargo-passenger Ford versions Focus, Hyundai i30 and Kia cee'd. Plus Hyundai i40 class D + and interclass Skoda Octavia combi. More recently, brothers were available concern Opel Astra and chevrolet cruze, but with the departure of GM, we lost them.

Lada Kalina

  • Prices: 433,100 - 541,900 rubles *
  • Engines: petrol, 1.6 l (87–106 hp)
  • Transmission: 5-speed manual, 5-speed robot
*Hereinafter, prices are as of February 8, 2016.

The share of Kalina with a station wagon body is amazing - for the entire period of production of Kalina, almost half of sales fell on the station wagon.

Kalina remains not only one of the most popular, but also the cheapest station wagon in our market. In the basic Standard version with an 87-horsepower engine, the buyer receives front power windows, ABS, a driver's airbag and electric power steering. Modest, but inexpensive - 433,100 rubles.

The main trump cards are a spacious interior and a huge trunk. Thanks to the B0 platform, Largus has an excellent ride. But with a "short" transmission, even at low speeds, engine speed is high. As a result, driving noise increases and fuel consumption increases.

Kia cee'd

  • Prices: 814,000 - 1,199,000 rubles
  • Engines: petrol, 1.4–1.6 l (100–135 hp)
  • Transmission: 5-speed manual, 6-speed automatic, 6-speed robot
Kia cee'd SW is a rare case: the station wagon version is almost as popular as the hatchback. Sid turned out to be very balanced - stylish appearance, quite decent handling and good dynamics. True, for our market, the range of engines ends with a 1.6-liter unit. And, of course, the most important trump card is the price. A basic station wagon with mechanics and a 100-horsepower engine is offered for 814 thousand rubles, which is 150 thousand cheaper than the nearest competitor, the Ford Focus. Not surprisingly, in Russia, Kia cee'd has become the most popular non-VAZ station wagon.

Sid's package cannot be called completely empty - front and side airbags, audio system, multifunction steering wheel, ABS, etc. The main drawback is not the most energy-intensive suspension, which is sorely lacking in margin of safety on large potholes. The trunk opening became a victim of style - it is strongly narrowed in the lower and upper parts, which reduces the cargo capacity.

Hyundai i30

  • Prices: RUB 909,900 - RUB 1,139,900
  • Engines: gasoline, 1.6 l (130 hp)
  • Transmission: 5-speed manual, 6-speed automatic
Hyundai i30 is the closest relative of Kia cee'd built on the same platform. The basic version is more expensive - 909 thousand rubles. But Hyundai initially has a 1.6 engine with 130 hp. True, this is where the choice of power units ends. Standard equipment is slightly better - there are rear power windows and fog lights. Nevertheless, the i30 did not gain much popularity. Before the departure of the Opel Astra and Chevrolet Cruze station wagons from the market, it was not even among the top five best-selling “sheds”. However, the i30 hatchback cannot be called a bestseller either.

The line of cars Opel 2017-2018 model year replenished with all-terrain station wagon Opel Insignia Country Tourer 2 generation, the official premiere of which is scheduled in Frankfurt in autumn 2017. In the review, the technical characteristics, price and photo of the station wagon Opel Insignia Country Tourer 2 generations with all-wheel drive, crossover body kit and increased to 180 mm ground clearance.

I would like to note right away that in Europe sales of a new car of 2017 will start before the premiere in the middle of summer of this year at a price of 40,000 euros for the Insignia Country Tour in the basic configuration.

New Opel generation insignia Country Tourer made more suitable for light off-road driving compared to the usual Opel Insignia Sports Tourer station wagon, but at the same time the novelty is an almost exact copy of the Buick Regal TourX, which premiered in April at the New York Auto Show 2017.

Opel Insignia Country Tour of the second generation, like the first generation of the elevated station wagon Opel Insignia, was created according to a fairly simple recipe. German engineers took the Insignia Sport Tourer station wagon with an advanced system as a basis all-wheel drive(instead of the traditional differential, separate multi-plate clutches on the axle shafts were installed at the rear), on which the ground clearance was increased by 20 mm, the wheel arches were made more swollen, the model was equipped with more brutal bumpers and a plastic crossover body kit, and powerful roof rails were installed on the roof that can withstand loads weighing up to 100 kg. As a result, a rather formidable station wagon model appeared before us, capable of moving not only on the highway, but also on rough terrain.

dimensions Opel Insignia Country Tourer 2 generations are 4985 mm long with a wheelbase of 2829 mm, 1863 mm wide, and 1500 mm high with a ground clearance (clearance) of 180 mm.

The European car novelty of the new generation also acquired stylish modern lighting equipment with LED headlights (matrix LED headlights IntelliLux with 32 LED elements), positioning LED lights, a dynamic body profile and large 18-20-inch rims.

The interior of the all-terrain station wagon is exactly the same as that of the regular Opel Insignia Sports Tourer station wagon and its American brother Buick Regal TourX. In the presence of comfortable front seats, a hospitable second row and a fairly roomy luggage compartment, the maximum volume of which is up to 1640 liters.
