The wagon aims at young car buyers who are looking for something a bit more special than a sedan, hatchback, or SUV. Chinese car makers are coming up with all sorts of mixes between vehicle styles; this 310Wagon mixes hatchback and wagon with some MPV. Expect the advertisement to focus on hip looking folk camping up mountain and such.

  1. Hi Tycho,
    I am not sure I understand this:
    …’went up with 20 centimeters width with 3 and height with 8.5′

    What is the meaning of ‘3’? Is it 3*20 or 23? 🙂
