With most automakers mourning the station wagon in the face of the crossover onslaught, relegating the loyal estate car to some dusty corner of museums celebrating disco and pet rocks, Volvo keeps the dream of carrying around a husband, wife, and 2.5 kids in style with the 2019 V60 Sportwagon.

Though Sweden’s top car builder always had a wagon or two in its line, the V60 is a fairly new player for the 90-year-old company. Debuting in 2011 and refreshed three years later, the attempt to make a wagon with stronger performance and luxury elements did well enough for Volvo over the last seven years that it earned a redesign.

If you’re looking to buy a car soon, and you’re like most Americans, there’s a strong chance you’re considering buying a crossover SUV. That’s what people want nowadays. People like the tough, tall exterior that suggests adventure and preparedness, they like the high seating position, and they like the practicality. Because of this, crossovers have rapidly supplanted sedans, wagons, and more as the most popular vehicles in the country. But they’re compromised, too. They’re often heavy, thirsty, and expensive compared with more conventional cars.

The good news is, there’s an alternative, a happy medium between the straight crossover and the traditional car. They’re lifted wagons, and they’re the best crossovers around. And for those who may not know what we’re talking about, we’re talking about cars and wagons that have been given a suspension lift for more ground clearance and a higher ride height. They also usually have chunky plastic body cladding to make them look tough and durable. Examples include the Subaru Crosstrek, Audi A4 Allroad, Buick Regal TourX, and Volkswagen Golf Alltrack, among others.

Because of the suspension and body modifications, these vehicles fit the trendy crossover mold quite well. And in the case of long-running nameplates such as the Subaru Outback and Volvo Cross Country models, they even have some heritage as outdoorsy machines. They also provide the higher driving position that crossover buyers love. And in some cases, such as with the Golf Alltrack, we’ve learned they offer better ride quality than their road-oriented siblings.

So these tall wagons offer the key things crossover buyers want, but what makes them better than traditional crossovers is that they have the advantages of the cars they’re based on. For instance, the aforementioned Golf Alltrack still drives mostly like a Golf, which is to say, it’s nimble, feels peppy, and is easy to maneuver because of its relatively small size. We can’t really say the same for the Tiguan, which feels generally more sluggish and uninteresting than the Alltrack. And we mention Volkswagen’s compact crossover because it starts at nearly the same price as the Alltrack.

Some of the difference in giddy-up can be explained by weight. Normal crossovers can be fairly portly, while these lifted wagons are notably lighter. That Alltrack has a curb weight of just under 3,400 pounds as opposed to the Tiguan, which weighs just under 3,800 pounds. The same goes for the Audi A4 Allroad and the Audi Q5 crossover, again, both similarly priced and sized. The Allroad weighs in at just over 3,800 pounds, and a Q5 tips the scales at just over 4,000 pounds. How about something from an American company? The Buick Regal TourX weighs about 3,400 pounds, and the Envision, at its lightest, weighs over 3,700.

Odds are that these weight differences also factor into differences in fuel economy. All of those wagons mentioned above meet or exceed the fuel economy numbers of their similarly sized crossover brethren. The Alltrack does the best with the most efficient version, the manual all-wheel-drive getting 32 mpg on the highway, while the most efficient Tiguan, an automatic front-wheel-drive model, only does 27 on the highway. City ratings are the same for both. With the Allroad, it manages three more miles per gallon on the highway over the Q5, though one less in the city. With the Regal TourX, things are a bit more messy when compared with the Envision. All Regal TourX models come with one engine, a turbocharged four-cylinder, and it gets the same highway mileage, 29 mpg, as the naturally aspirated front-wheel-drive Envision, while getting one mile per gallon worse in the city and combined. But add all-wheel drive to that naturally aspirated Envision, and it drops below the Regal by 2 mpg, with the other numbers matching. The turbocharged all-wheel-drive Envision fuel economy is worse on the highway by 3 mpg, in the city by 1 mpg, and combined by 2 mpg.

The last area in which lifted wagons conquer the crossover set is in value. Going back to the Alltrack and Tiguan, the Alltrack comes with standard all-wheel-drive, heated, power-adjustable leatherette seats, all for the base price of $ 26,805. For the same level of features in a Tiguan, one has to choose a mid-level SE 4Motion, which starts at $ 31,130. The Tiguan’s one saving grace is the availability of a third-row seat and more space. But if you don’t need that, the Alltrack is the obvious choice.

The choice is even more obvious between the Buick Regal TourX and Envision. The Regal TourX has all-wheel-drive standard, a more powerful engine than the Envision, boasts basically the same fuel economy, has more cargo space, and it costs significantly less than the Envision. The TourX starts at just $ 29,995, while the base Envision starts at $ 34,990. And for the Envision to have a similar turbocharged four-cylinder and all-wheel-drive powertrain, it’ll cost $ 43,640.

And with the Audi Allroad, although it costs $ 3,000 more than the Q5, it adds standard features such as a sunroof, heated seats, better fuel economy, and more cargo space.

Now we’re not saying that as a rule, every lifted wagon is better than a conventional crossover SUV for every single person. As we mentioned with the Tiguan, sometimes a crossover will have more space. And sometimes the crossover can be had cheaper. For instance, a Volvo V90 Cross Country is more expensive than the XC90. But when you head out to the dealer lots to look for your new car, take a second look at that tall car with the plastic fenders. There’s a good chance it will offer all the style of the crossover you want, but without the crossover compromises.

From the February 2017 issue

–

If the Volvo brand were a Rorschach blot, most Americans would see a station wagon. But this didn’t come about as the result of some Swedish plot for domination of the American suburbs. It was an accident.

–

In the mid-1950s, around the time that Volvo first considered exporting cars to the United States, the brand was unsuccessfully experimenting with selling chassis to independent coachbuilders, but in so doing had built up a surplus of unsold chassis. “So,” says Volvo historian Per-Åke Fröberg, “the management said, ‘Let’s start to do our own wagon.’ ” Aimed at Sweden’s small-business owners who needed a practical car and a family car but who couldn’t afford both, the wagon was a way to grow the lineup and use the extra platforms.

–

The resulting Duett and subsequent Amazon were oddball outliers and likewise found homes with Ameri­can oddball outliers. “East Coast or West Coast. Liberal, highly educated, intellectual,” Fröberg says. “Somewhat radical, a bit bohemic.” After that, the brand more or less made a wagon version of every model.

–

It was with the release of the 144 wagon that the longroof Volvo began to morph into the rectilinear package seen in our minds’ eye. But the real breakthrough for the brand in America came with the 200-series estate, introduced in 1974. By the time its production run ended in 1993, nearly 2.9 million had been sold worldwide. Based on Volvo’s Experimental Safety Car, shown at the 1972 Geneva motor show, the 200-series cemented the brand’s reputation for safety. The U.S. government purchased some two dozen sedans and wagons for testing in 1976 and canonized them as the benchmark all other manufacturers had to meet for crashworthiness. “And when that became known,” Fröberg says, “Volvo of course used that. There was a famous ad of a Volvo in front of the Capitol saying: ‘It shouldn’t take an act of Congress to make cars safe.’ ”

The release of the 240 wagon also co­­incided with baby boomers coming into their peak earning/breeding years. Before Jeep Grand Cherokees, SUV “coupes,” or even minivans, a wagon was the original active-lifestyle vehicle. Over the next few decades, with the 700, 800, and 900 series, wagons became Volvo’s best-sellers, accounting for around one-third of the brand’s American sales—and even more in some regional markets.

–

Then, just recently, Volvo fled from the wagon in a quest to move upscale. According to Bob Austin, who was head of marketing for Volvo Cars of North America from 1991 to 2002, the thinking was that “in order to move upmarket, you needed to be more stylish, more expensive, and less practical.” Basically, all the qualities that are the wagon’s antitheses.

–

–

With the updated V60 and the forthcoming V90, Volvo’s wagon sales have rebounded from their recent nadir, and the brand seems to be re-embracing the estate. This is in part because kids who came of age during the wagon’s last ascension are now in the market for grown-up cars, and nostalgia’s siren song is loud. But it’s also because the cars’ innate durability means the brand cannot outrun its heritage.

–

“Other brands have done a wonderful job repositioning themselves. But they were aided by the fact that their older cars were largely disposable,” Austin says. “Volvos as boxy and durable wagons? There are still cars out there from the ’80s and ’90s demonstrating that every day.”

The Big Break

Volvo’s 1972 Ex­peri­mental Safety Car incor­porated features such as airbags, anti-lock disc brakes, a high-strength-steel passenger cell, and impact-absorbing crumple zones. Its semi-passive seatbelts had less staying power.
