What Is a Station Wagon?
New station wagons for sale are a unique breed in today’s automotive industry. Whereas the SUV craze has made average driving dynamics a common fact of life, the wagon world is dedicated to offering near-equal space but with a more exciting ride.
Station wagons, simply put, are sedans with a taller build and an elongated cargo area. They maintain an agile and precise driving demeanor while offering massive cargo-carrying capabilities. For decades, they were a popular choice for a family vehicle, and their popularity only faded due to the crossover SUV’s creation.
Crossover SUVs were born when SUVs could only be found as rough and rugged truck-based machines. The goal of the crossover SUV was to offer a smoother, more city-friendly ride with similar cargo room and capability.
The name “crossover” sums up how they did this: They “crossed” car-based station wagons with truck-based SUVs for higher-riding capability. This formula became immensely popular, and crossover SUVs ate into the market for new station wagons for sale. However, as the crossover SUV trend got more popular, many models became rather bland-to-drive vehicles that forgot their wagon roots.
The remaining new station wagons for sale are aimed at the select few who reject crossover-SUV blandness in favor of fun, precision, and spirited driving – without sacrificing SUV-like cargo space. Read on and learn more about the 2024 station wagons that we offer in Lexington, KY.
2024 Subaru Station Wagon Options
One of the first crossovers was the Subaru Outback, which was created by taking the now-discontinued Subaru Legacy station wagon and raising its ground clearance (while adding more rugged body cladding). The Outback, though often labeled as a crossover SUV, is still technically a station wagon, as it is perhaps the only crossover that remembers its roots.
The new Subaru Outback maintains a station wagon silhouette while continuing to refine the rugged ethos it gained when it entered the crossover SUV segment. It’s one of the most popular models you’ll find as you search for a station wagon in all new vehicle inventory at Quantrell Auto Group in Lexington, KY. It also remains a popular choice against most crossover SUVs for its incredible all-terrain, all-weather capability, excellent safety and efficiency, and spacious, comfortable interior.
The Subaru Outback straddles the line between a crossover and a wagon. It helped kick-start many trends in the automotive industry, and it continues to set trends with awesome packages like the Outback Wilderness Edition, which offers the spirit of custom-built off-road vehicles straight from the factory. The Outback is also reliable, making it a great way to maximize cargo capability while minimizing trips to service centers.
2024 Volvo Station Wagon Options
Volvo Cars is more committed to keeping the station wagon alive than most brands, and we commend them for that. Three distinct new station wagons for sale from the brand can be found in our selection, and two of them are essentially luxury-lined competitors to the Subaru Outback: the Volvo V60 Cross Country and Volvo V90 Cross Country.
These wagons take the sporty Volvo S60 and Volvo S90 sedan platforms, add an SUV-like cargo area that’s more than capable of handling a month’s worth of groceries, and then add more ground clearance and rugged features to let it tackle tougher terrain. In essence, this is the formula that crossover SUVs were created around. Yet, today, most lack the fun and engaging driving characteristics that wagons like the Volvo V60 Cross Country offer.
For a 2024 station wagon for sale that’s faster, more fun, and even more efficient, consider the final Volvo wagon model: the Volvo V60 Polestar Engineered.
If you’ve considered a Volvo SUV at our finance center, you may have seen the T8 eAWD powertrain. The Volvo V60 Polestar Engineered uses it, too, but the 455 horsepower has a lot less weight to move, thanks to the sleeker station wagon form. The resulting 4.3-second 0-60 mph time makes this one of the fastest new station wagons for sale, and the model’s plug-in hybrid MPG makes the speed a no-compromise experience. This wagon is the full package.

Cadillac Station Wagon Options
While, sadly, Cadillac no longer offers new station wagon options, they left the segment far later than most other brands. The final Cadillac station wagon was the 2014 CTS. To find perhaps the most exhilarating pre-owned station wagon, keep an eye out for the 2011-2014 Cadillac CTS-V wagon, which was a RWD monster powered by a supercharged V-8 engine. The spirit of the CTS-V lives on in the 2024 CT5-V Blackwing sedan; contact us to inquire more about this wild machine.
