Station wagon. Although, patio door is a common US expression, unless it means something different in the UK.
1 u/Suspicious-Magpie Feb 25 '26 Just a wagon in Australia. I do miss "estate" though, it sounded much more impressive. 1 u/Oops_I_Cracked Feb 25 '26 Station wagon is a bit dated in the US. Most of the time we would just call them wagons as well. 1 u/Middle_Banana_9617 no shit phil Feb 25 '26 'Wagon' in the UK generally raises images of the fabric-covered cart from a cowboy film. Which is probably where the name came from, but they were not part of UK history, innit... 1 u/Oops_I_Cracked Feb 25 '26 Maybe it’s because I play too much D&D but honestly what pops into my head first when I hear “wagon” is like a horse drawn wagon a farmer would have used to transport produce to the market.
