Good domestic station wagon - Lada Largus
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.
In compiling this list, we studied the station wagons of the 2017 model year and compared them in terms of such indicators as:
- 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 ride height, the presence independent suspension wheels, navigation system, traction control, rear view camera and leather seats equipped with lumbar adjustment and massage function.
It can be equipped with engines ranging from 150 to 200 horsepower, as well as a manual or automatic 6-speed gearbox.
#9 - Skoda Octavia Combi
Although this car difficult to attribute to cheap station wagons, however, it is perhaps one of the best in terms of price and quality. The volume of this car is 1450 liters, which is very good result in terms of capacity.
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 possible configurations there is also a model with all-wheel drive, characterized by high permeability.
#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 volume to it luggage compartment in 1530 liters, which will allow you to easily transport household items, things for relaxation, 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, a system automatic parking, cruise control etc. .
#6 - Ford Mondeo
Roomy trunk with a volume of 1740 liters, comfortable lounge And good engine with a volume of two liters and many other characteristics that make it possible to define this model as a good all-rounder. Ford car Mondeo equips 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 embodiment of the concept of "wagon", due to the fact that it combines the size and comfort of a minivan and driving performance good sedan. External design can be called "inconspicuous" - the body is squat and wide, there are no prominent external parts. 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 reinforcement steering wheel Toyota Mark X Zio quickly responds to all driver commands. Add to this the possibility of purchasing a model with automatic or mechanical box gears, as well as engines of 2.4 and 3.5 liters, 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 diesel engine R4 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. Benefits 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 ambition, which is worth only an aggressive radiator shield and solid dimensions of this machine. 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;
- Possibility to choose one of several gasoline engines, one of which has a volume of two liters and a power of 220 to 280 horsepower;
- High-quality, and comfortable interior;
Row usage the latest technologies, among which are 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.

By by and large station wagon cars have only one single difference from a hatchback or sedan, and it is also its main advantage - a significantly increased luggage space. Despite the fact that outwardly the station wagon looks like an ordinary family car, in fact it is a real mini truck!
In the station wagon can be loaded one and a half, or even twice more cargo than in luggage compartment the same car, implemented in the body "sedan" or "hatchback". And if you fold (or completely remove, if this model has such a function) the second row of seats, then you will have a large cargo platform, which can be used to transport large items such as a sofa or a refrigerator.
If you often need to transport a large number of luggage or other cargo, purchasing a station wagon will be a great way to save on paying for cargo taxi services.
Purchase of station wagon cars at MAS MOTORS
In our showroom official dealer"MAS MOTORS" always has the most popular models station wagons from Russia, USA, Japan, China, South Korea And European countries. Only here you can find the most roomy cars at the most attractive prices!
IN 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 in concern were available 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
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.
Main trump cards - spacious salon 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
Sid's package cannot be called completely empty - front and side airbags, audio system, multifunction steering wheel, ABS, etc. Main disadvantage- 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
