Why do they call it a station wagon?
They were called station wagons because they were originally devised to take people to and from stations. In the beginning, the vehicles often had hand-built wooden bodies. The steel took over, though homage was long played to the segment’s heritage with “woodie” station wagon options.
What is the difference between a station wagon and an SUV?
A station wagon is based on a car with a different back end, one with more cargo room and a hatch, as opposed to a trunk. Some SUVs are based on car platforms, and some are on truck platforms. Most are raised higher off the ground than a car and many are available with all-wheel drive or four-wheel drive.
