Universal is a passenger car with an enlarged trunk and a spacious interior. More recently, these cars have become the pride of motorists and the envy of others. However, many experts note that recently the demand for Japanese station wagons has been constantly falling. The reason for this is a sharp increase in the popularity of crossovers. Despite this trend, passenger cars with increased capacity still have their loyal admirers and admirers. In addition, such machines are present in the popular model lines of many world brands.
Mazda 6
Mazda is considered one of the main models of Mazda Motor Corporation. The car is positioned as a "large family car", in other words, the Mazda 6 belongs to the "D" class in terms of size classification. In combination, the Japanese station wagon is considered the "flagship" of the manufacturing company and at one time turned out to be the first "carrier" of the Zoom-Zoom design concept. An interesting fact is that to this day the Mazda 6 continues to largely "set trends" in modern automotive industry.
The history of the "Japanese six", which is considered the real "heir" of the model "626", began in 2002. It was at that time that she joined the ranks of the Japanese automaker. The appearance of the Mazda 6 is bright and stylish, extravagant and, despite its large overall dimensions, sporty. The car is distinguished by a convex hood protruding above the wings, a large slope of the windshield and rear window, as well as a high, but short stern.
Toyota Avensis
The Toyota Avensis is a front-wheel drive large D-class family car. The car, presented on the world market, was announced in two body styles:
- 4-door sedan;
- 5-door station wagon.
Japanese car combines many advantages: a solid design, a high level of safety and a decent level of filling. Its main target audience is considered to be middle-aged family men, for whom a car is a “reflection of social status”. The Avensis family, which was developed specifically for the European market, has replaced the Toyota Carina E since late 1997. Initially, the station wagon was offered to consumers in three versions. Having gone through two generational changes, in 2018 the release of this model was completed due to the loss of interest in it of the European audience.
Dynamic "wagon" Subaru Levorg
Japanese station wagon "sportsman" "Subaru-Levorg" in September 2015 was first introduced to the European market as part ofInternational auto show in Frankfurt. However, the history of this model began in 2013. To date, the passenger-and-freight “Japanese” has gone on sale in European markets, although it has been available in its homeland since the summer of 2014.
Outside, the Subaru-Levorg stands out with its original, stylish and even smart appearance, which resembles other models of the brand with its design. Many motorists believe that the front of the car looks "predatory". Contributing to this:
- menacing look of lighting engineering with U-shaped LED brackets for running lights;
- trapezoidal grille;
- bulging hood with hump-air duct;
- aggressively styled rear (attractive taillights, diffuser mounted in the rear bumper, and a pair of "barrels" of the exhaust system).
The dynamic shape of the Japanese station wagon with a long hood, littered roof pillars and "powerful" stampings give the car a sporty appearance.
Nissan Cube
New and extraordinary design or "refrigerator" on wheels? Many motorists call this brand of car in different ways. They describe the most extravagant model from the Japanese automaker Nissan - Nissan Cube - "station wagon in a cube." In 2009, his admirers were already pleased with his third version.
The appearance of the Nissan Cube is a subtle harmony between frank minimalism, cubism and innate aestheticism. The second element of the originality of the external appearance of the car is the asymmetric design of the rearside elements:
- left side - with wide stand;
- right side - with increased glazing area.
The current generation Cube is built on the Nissan Note platform and measures 253 cm wheelbase, 398 cm long, 169.5 cm wide and 165 cm high. You can see that the car is almost square in the last two parameters. With its appearance, the Nissan Cube evokes associations among many motorists with a children's drawing or even a simple toy. This playfulness continues in the interior design.
Subaru Exiga
This is one of the best Japanese station wagons, which has seven seats for passengers. He appeared in the model line of the Japanese manufacturing company in 2008. At the same time, Subaru-Exiga went on sale in the domestic market of Japan. The release of the serial version of this model was preceded by the concept of the same name. Its official premiere was at the Tokyo Motor Show. In addition to Japan, the model is being implemented in Australia, Indonesia and Singapore.
Japanese station wagon "Exiga" is a 5-door car, which has the following body dimensions: 474 cm long, 166 cm high and 177.5 cm wide. The wheelbase of the car is 275 cm, and its ground clearance is not more than 15 cm. The total weight of the Subaru Exiga varies from 1480 to 1590 kg, depending on the modification.
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution
"Mitsubishi-Lancer Evolution" -all-wheel drive sports car, Japanese station wagon of the compact class "C-segment" according to the European classification. It combines an average level of comfort for daily trips and a truly "driver's character". Its target audience is young, active and ambitious people who need a fast, but at the same time, practical car.
The sports model Lancer first appeared on the global automotive market in 1992. The uniqueness of the body of the first generation Evolution, which is equipped with reinforced welds, should also be noted. The body is highly reliable and durable. The suspension is equipped with ball joints, which make the move easier. The overall weight of the machine has been significantly reduced due to the hood, which is made of aluminum.
As the rankings and statistics show, Japanese RHD and LHD station wagons have a great future in today's market - even brighter than now. The cost of Japanese station wagons can range from several hundred thousand to several million rubles. The price directly depends on the brand, model, production period and technical equipment of each particular machine.
