background
Chevrolet no longer makes station wagons as of 2022. The last Chevrolet station wagon, the Chevy HHR, was most recently produced for the 2011 model year.
Station wagons were once a popular choice for families who needed a solid day-to-day car to transport their kids and belongings from point A to point B. Now largely replaced by SUVs and crossovers, many station wagons have been discontinued. In fact, the 1996
Chevrolet Caprice
Classic wagon was the last full-size wagon produced in the United States.

Does Chevrolet still make a station wagon?

Chevrolet no longer makes station wagons. Chevy's classic wagons have given way to SUVs and crossovers, like the
Chevrolet Traverse
, due to customer demand. Even so, you can still find old Chevy wagons on the road.
Chevrolet's most recent station wagon, the Chevy HHR (Heritage High Roof), ceased production in 2011. Car and Driver rated this wagon a 5/10, but the model continues to boast a loyal fanbase. 

What’s the difference between a station wagon and a hatchback?

Station wagons and hatchbacks both combine their seating and storage spaces, resulting in a two-box design that separates the engine compartment from the passenger/storage compartment. However, the designs are quite different.
Station wagons typically feature a large, boxy rear, creating more cargo space or even room for a third row of seats. You can usually access this extended rear space through a liftgate. Hatchbacks, on the other hand, tend to have shorter, more stylish bodies.
An easy way to tell the difference: if a car's roof continues for a stretch after the rear doors end, it's probably a station wagon. If the roof suddenly slopes behind the rear doors, you're looking at a hatchback.

The best station wagons you can buy

Now that we've learned a bit about Chevrolet's history with station wagons, let's take a look at some of the best Chevy wagons ever made.

Chevrolet HHR

Starting price: $19,500
Passenger volume: 97.4 cubic feet
Cargo volume: 57.7 cubic feet (seats flat), 25.2 cubic feet (seats up)
Engine: 2.2 L 4-cylinder
The
Chevy HHR
's design takes after Chevy's classic trucks, offering a boxy look that makes for a spacious interior. This funky wagon features retro styling and practicality all in one, and earlier model years (pre-2011) provide the option of a sporty, powerful SS trim.
The HHR moved into the
Chrysler PT Cruiser
's territory in terms of design. Though a bit clunky and not the smoothest to drive, the HHS is a solid option for those seeking cargo space, utility, versatility, and a unique flair.
Other notable features of the HHR include:
  • Anti-lock brakes
  • Stability and traction control
  • OnStar telematics
  • 2.4 L engine available on
    LT
    models

Chevy Nomad two-door

Average auction price: $60,600
Passenger volume: 111.4 cubic feet
Engine: 4.3 L V8
The Chevy Nomad is a classic station wagon that Chevrolet offered as a two-door for only three years, from 1955 to 1957. Chevrolet produced this model in fewer than 23,000 units total, so it's very rare to see a Chevrolet Nomad on the road today. Chances are only a few thousand of them are still functional.
The Nomad took after the Bel Air cars that were so popular at the time. So if you do own a Nomad, you shouldn't have too much trouble finding parts. That said, if you're in the market for a Chevrolet Nomad, they are relatively expensive and hard to track down.

Chevrolet Impala wagon

Average retail: $53,500
Passenger volume: 112.5 cubic feet
Engine: 3.8 L V8
Chevrolet produced the Impala as a station wagon off and on from 1957 to 1981. It's rare to catch a wagon-trim Impala on the road these days.
The Chevy Impala wagon is a great example of the classic full-size American station wagon. This trim came in two styles: a large six-passenger design and an even larger model that held nine passengers.
Of course, you'll see
Chevy Impalas
all the time. Chevrolet only stopped production of this model after the 2020 model year. But the model's wagon trim hasn't been in production since 1981.

Chevrolet Celebrity wagon

Average retail: $3,275
Passenger volume: 97.6 cubic feet
Maximum cargo volume: 75.1 cubic feet
Engine: 2.8 L V6
In 1984, Chevrolet introduced a midsize station wagon with a third row of seats to its Celebrity model line. By 1990, the final model year for the Celebrity wagon, Chevrolet only offered its Celebrity model with a wagon body.
The Celebrity wagon was the final midsize station wagon Chevrolet ever produced in the United States. It featured a boxy exterior design, which was in fashion at the time and was made to compete with popular models like the
Toyota Camry
and
Volkswagen
Quantum.
Though the Celebrity wagon had an original MSRP of $13,055 for its final model year (1990), its average retail price now is just over $3,000.
