As an extension of the sedan, Wagon has all the common functions of a sedan, and also provides consumers with added value that ordinary cars do not have. Wagon evolved into a synonym for a specialized sedan model, based on the sedan, with the trunk raised to level with the roof, greatly increasing luggage space. In China, consumers are used to translating Wagon as "station wagon." The travel version, hunting version is another name, and now this model has also gained a lot of users in China, and more electric models have been introduced to the market. It is expected that in the near future, this category will usher in a big explosion of electric models.
MG MG 5 electric version
The electric version of the MG 5 has already gained a lot of users in the market and is also the eighth best-selling electric car in the UK in 2022. As other automakers catch up, MG has seen the model as its main competitive point and underwent a facelift last year.
Its predecessor was a rather bland model, and the updated MG 5 is a completely different model with sharp new faces, front and rear LED lights, and an upgraded cab. Now there's also decent vehicle utility that allows you to power anything from coolers to coffee makers. The redesigned MG5 EV is available in 2 models, with a 50.3 kWh LFP (lithium iron phosphate) battery pack in the standard version, a maximum range of 320 km (according to WLTP standards) and a maximum horsepower of 174 hp. The other is a 61.1 kWh NMC (Lithium-Ni-Manganese Cobalt) battery pack with a capacity of 61.1 kWh, a maximum range of 475 km (according to WLTP standards) and a maximum horsepower of 154 hp, both with a maximum torque of 28 kg m. According to the original factory data, the facelifted MG5 EV is charged from 5% (SoC) to 80% using DC DC charging, and the time required is 40 minutes.
NIO ET5 Travel Edition
NIO is obviously constantly enriching its true appearance, and the travel version of the NIO ET5 has already appeared spy photos. The new car is based on the NIO ET5, so the size and shape of the new car will continue the NIO ET5, considering that the new car is a travel series, so the biggest difference with the ET5 is that the new car will have a more elegant tail line and tail space advantages, and will store more luggage.
In terms of power, referring to the performance of NIO ET5, it is expected that the ET5 Travel will continue the same power system, equipped with dual motors front and rear, with a comprehensive power of 490 horses, a peak torque of 700 Nm, and a 0-100km/h acceleration time of about 4 seconds. In terms of range, NIO ET5 currently provides 75 kWh, 100 kWh and 150 kWh battery packs, corresponding to CLTC endurance of 560 km, 710 km and 1000 km.
Extreme Krypton 001 hunting edition
Extreme Krypton 001 is a standard electric vehicle style in terms of appearance design, the front of the car has been simplified, the rear trunk has been lengthened, so that the exterior shape is positioned in the hunting version model, the rear support seat is put down, the volume of the trunk has exceeded 2000 liters, and the rear trunk is equipped with a 12-volt power interface.
In terms of power, Extreme Krypton 001 has three power versions, namely ultra-long endurance single motor version, ultra-long endurance dual motor version and ultra-long endurance dual motor version, in the purchase recommendation or choose the top version, the maximum horsepower of the dual motor version reaches 544 horsepower, the pure electric cruising range exceeds 600 kilometers, the battery capacity reaches 100 degrees, and the acceleration performance of 100 kilometers reaches 3.8 seconds, whether it is acceleration, cruising range is a very excellent level
Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo
"The Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo is one of the most complete luxury station wagons today", with plenty of space and a very strong body.
Compared to the regular Taycan, it sits a little higher, has more headroom in the rear and a slightly larger trunk – 405 litres when the seats are raised and 1,171 liters when the seats are lowered. All Cross Turismos come with a 93.4kWh battery and all-wheel drive, while the power output of the four model series, including the 4, 4S, Turbo and Turbo S, ranges from 469bhp to 751bhp.
Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo
Interested in the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo but want a little less Audi Allroad treatment? The Taycan Sport Turismo has a slightly reduced body height, which is a fairly streamlined model, which is an alternative existence in high-end recreational models.
It comes with a smaller entry-level 79.2kWh battery and a 402bhp electric motor that only drives real wheels, meaning the starting price is slightly cheaper. You can also opt for the mid-range GTS, which sits between the 4S and Turbo with a 93.4kWh battery and a rear-biased 590bhp electric motor with a 0-62mph time of 3.7 seconds and an optimal electric range of 311 miles.
Peugeot e-308 SW
Peugeot's design team has been busy lately, and the third-generation 308, launched in 2021, is no exception. Initially only available for petrol and diesel engines, Peugeot announced last year that it would start offering electrified models on brick surfaces for the model, giving the electric version of the station wagon another option.
The e-308 and e-308 SW (short for Sports Wagon, FYI) will be equipped with a 153bhp electric motor and a 54kWh battery for a range of up to 258 miles, and the 100kW fast charge allows a percentage charge from 20% to 80% in just 25 minutes, of course, you need to be able to find a plug that can match the charging speed.
Inside, you can see Peugeot's familiar i-Cockpit, complete with a high-level instrument cluster. Some people love it, some hate it, but there doesn't seem to be much to argue about space and practicality.
Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer
We are big fans of the new Vauxhall Astra – beautiful looks, good driving experience and low running costs. Naturally, when consumers heard that there was an electric version, their ears pricked up.
The Vauxhall Astra Electric hatchback and Sports Tourer have the same sleek look as the internal combustion engine model, and the specifications of the powertrain are familiar: 156bhp electric motor, 54kWh battery, 258 miles range. Yes, there's a lot of Stellantis cross-platform sharing here.
Vauxhall is also quick to point out that luggage space has not dropped (at least compared to the PHEV variant) due to the battery being located at the bottom of the vehicle, which means 352 liters for the hatch and 516 liters for the Sports Tourer. In other words, there is plenty of space for luggage stacking.
Audi A6 Avant e-tron
When the A6 e-tron concept was revealed in April 2021, we were impressed, but also secretly prayed that it would release an Avant version. This is because the SUV model is both aesthetically pleasing and practical compared to the coupe style.
A year later, Audi unveiled the A6 Avant e-tron concept. Appropriate futurism is added to the main line of design. It's 4.96 meters long, 1.96 meters wide and 1.44 meters high, and while Audi didn't give us any details of the guiding space, we were told it would be the "space champion". It will be based on Audi's new PPE platform, delivering up to 462bhp and 590lb ft of torque via two electric motors, a 100kW battery for 435 miles and a charging speed of up to 270kW, meaning it can be charged 186 miles in just 10 minutes.
Audi RS6 e-tron
If there's anything better than the A6 Avant e-tron, it's the RS6 e-tron. Of course, the car is still being built. We at least have some clues on the design, with Audi design chief Mark Lichter telling the media that the RS6 will have a wider track and larger wheels to differentiate it from the upcoming A6 e-tron.
We also hope that the upcoming RS6 will be better than the A6 e-tron's claimed 0-62mph time of less than four seconds, which will indeed be very fast. Supercar performance, practical packaging, wait and see.
Volkswagen ID.Space Vizzion / ID.7 Tourer
Back in 2019, Volkswagen presented its ID.Space Vizzion concept at the Los Angeles Auto Show – a sleek, futuristic and aesthetically pleasing-looking all-electric vehicle. Until last year, it was all very calm, when news broke that Volkswagen had applied for a patent for the name ID.7 Tourer.
Then, earlier this year, Volkswagen revealed (to some extent) its ID.7 sedan. Logically, the ID.7 Tourer will be a touring version of the sedan - while the latter seems to be on the verge of production, we shouldn't have to wait long. Again, the details are slightly weaker, but we do know that the ID.7 sedan will be based on the Volkswagen Group's MEB platform with an estimated range of 435 miles, so expect similarity. We'll be very happy if it ends up looking like the ID.Space Vizzion concept car.
