The station wagon is a variant of the sedan or saloon. The difference between station wagons and regular sedans is that the station wagon has no trunk, plus the roofs are extended backwards over a shared passenger or cargo volume with access in the back.

Station wagons were later replaced by minivans and later crossovers.
