- The Station Wagon is a vehicle in Fallout 4.
- It is depicted in Need for Speed: Most Wanted and Carbon to be based on the 1979–1991 Ford Country Squire and can be only seen in green with a wood trim. Players cannot drive the vehicle in any game of Need for Speed series.
- A Hyundai Elantra station wagon is mechanically identical to the sedan. The only major differences are the addition of a wagon back, a slightly raised roof immediately aft of the front seats, and a slightly longer overall body length. Weight is also slightly increased. The only engine choice in the United States is a gasoline-powered 140hp/133ft-lb 2.0 liter I-4. A 5-speed manual came standard, with an optional 4-speed automatic. The wagons were produced from model years 1996 through 2000.
- A station wagon or estate car is a body style variant of a sedan/saloon with its roof extended rearward over a shared passenger/cargo volume with access at the back via a third or fifth door (the liftgate or tailgate), instead of a trunk lid. The body style transforms a standard three-box design into a two-box design — to include an A, B & C-pillar, as well as a D pillar. Station wagons feature flexibility to allow configurations that either favor passenger or cargo volume, e.g., fold-down rear seats.
- A station wagon in American, Australian, Canadian and New Zealand usage and an estate car, or just estate in British usage, is an automobile with a body style similar to a Sedan (saloon in British usage) but with the roofline following an extended rear cargo area. A station wagon is distinguished from a Mini (Multi-purpose vehicle) or Sport utility vehicle by still being a car, sharing its forward bodywork with other cars in a manufacturer's range. The popularity of the minivan in the 1980s and early 1990s is credited with the decline of the traditional station wagon.

- A station wagon or estate car is a body style variant of a sedan/saloon with its roof extended rearward over a shared passenger/cargo volume with access at the back via a third or fifth door (the liftgate or tailgate), instead of a trunk lid. The body style transforms a standard three-box design into a two-box design — to include an A, B & C-pillar, as well as a D pillar. Station wagons feature flexibility to allow configurations that either favor passenger or cargo volume, e.g., fold-down rear seats. The American Heritage Dictionary defines a station wagon as "an automobile with one or more rows of folding or removable seats behind the driver and no luggage compartment but an area behind the seats into which suitcases, parcels, etc., can be loaded through a tailgate." The dictionary also calls the term an "Americanism." When a model range includes multiple body styles such as sedan, hatchback and station wagon, the models typically share their platform, drivetrain and bodywork forward of the A-pillar. In 1969, Popular Mechanics said "station wagon-style follows that of the production sedan of which it is a counterpart, most are on the same wheelbase, offer the same transmission and engine options, and the same comfort and convenience options." Station wagons have evolved from their early use as specialized vehicles to carry people and luggage to and from a train station, and have experienced worldwide marketing.

- A station wagon in American, Australian, Canadian and New Zealand usage and an estate car, or just estate in British usage, is an automobile with a body style similar to a Sedan (saloon in British usage) but with the roofline following an extended rear cargo area. Certain cars with this body Style have historically been called a Shooting brake, a British term. A few models are referred to as a break, using the French term. Kombi or combi, from the German term for this type, is also sometimes used. Volkswagen's proprietary name for a Kombi is Variant, Opel sometimes uses the word Caravan, and Audi's wagons are called Avant. Fiat often uses the term Weekend, while Alfa Romeo uses Sportwagon. Another term once used by some American and Australian car makers is station sedan. Most station wagons are modified sedan-type car bodies, having the main interior area extended to the near-vertical rear window over what would otherwise be the enclosed area of the sedan version. A Hatchback car, although meeting a similar description, would not enjoy the full height of the passenger cabin all the way to the back; the rear glass of a hatchback being sloped further from vertical, and the hatch tending not to reach fully to the rear bumper, as it commonly would in a station wagon. Station wagons also have side windows over the cargo area, whereas some hatchbacks have thick "C" pillars and no cargo area windows. Two exceptions to this rule include Rambler (automobile) station wagons (1952–62) on which the roof line subtly dipped down over the cargo area, and GM's Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser (1964–72) and Buick Sportwagon (1964–70) on which the rear roof section was slightly elevated and combined with four skylights; the "sportwagon" name has been popularised again in recent years by some manufacturers. Certain models of Land Rover have also been described by the manufacturer as station wagons (even in British usage); these had a tall wagon-like body with extra "alpine lights", or windows, above the cargo bay side windows. A station wagon is distinguished from a Mini (Multi-purpose vehicle) or Sport utility vehicle by still being a car, sharing its forward bodywork with other cars in a manufacturer's range. The popularity of the minivan in the 1980s and early 1990s is credited with the decline of the traditional station wagon.
