I'll take your word for it that it's an All-Road, but the low-stance actually makes it look more like a regular Avant wagon with Quattro AWD. Most of the All-Roads I remember sit a little higher than that, on a raised-suspension, somewhat like the Subaru Outback, Honda Crosstour, and Volvo XC-70 Cross-Country.
That's the cool part about all-roads or air cars in general, they can drop super low or go into "SUV mode" on demand
7-8ish inches from the floor to the car underside, this is at MAX height though. Rims are 20inch for reference....
I would love to have a wagon....but I would want it to be diesel, AWD, with a tall roofline for space in the back and ability to safely load and carry a 7.3 Diesel engine in the back area.
Sorry for triple post ya'll.

I'm really liking these Audis and Volvos
Dam that looks good
That's the largest and heaviest item I will ever need to transport for work, I don't work on anything over an F350 class vehicle. Axles are lighter and easier to carry than a 7.3 and everything else is able to fit with ease.
I plan to replace the Jeep with a TDI Q7 and the wife will daily it due to MPG and winter, if I need to tow it will be used for that as well. Her car is one of the three I don't like stacking miles on as well....and she has hinted to me quite strongly I should replace her 460 with a 2nd W12 so we would absolutely need a daily for her.

Is this full EV?
no PHEV, I’m getting a little over 40 miles on pure electric. I’m retired so no commute for me, most of my local driving is pure electric but when I switch to Polestar it’s almost scary how fast the car is. I have driven a model S and am aware of the instant torque a pure ev can give you but this car gives you that and a throaty piston driven sound and feel which I still enjoy. I still love IC engines, must be my age
"Station wagons" are largely gone, replaced for the most part by SUV's, probably the hottest market segment going. Why? From my perspective, sheer utility and in some cases, even styling. I've had quite a few, and you can't beat the sheer "utility" of an SUV. Once the ugly stepchild of the market, SUV's have become more realistic in terms of appearance and performance than the old "stretched passenger car" of old.
Most of my adult life I've had to have an SUV - one that offers a reasonable amount of carrying and towing capacity, still on a manageable platform. Today's haulers are far more sophisticated than the Suburbans and Jeepsters of yore, Most of them now drive. ride, and handle well, without being a "truck" in the classic mode. They are actually respectable in today's suburbia . . moms and schoolteachers drive ;'em rather than just carpenters, farmers, and those seeking a more ''macho" appearance. Turns out, once you've owned an SUV, it's difficult to go back to the old 4-door sedan. It's a lot more, well, utilitarian. And many of them actually look pretty good.
Yeah, that's the R-class. It's a Minivan with hinged doors.
Very close...but not quite. Minivans typically seat 3 across in the second row. Both the Mercedes R-Class (image below) and First-generation 2004-2008 Chrysler Pacifica sat 6 people, in 2+2+2 seating....although, to be fair, one could also say that about a minivan with second-row Captain's Chairs. Steve, I think, formerly had a Kia Sedona with Captain's Chairs.
(the smaller Mazda 5 people-mover also had 2+2+2 seating, but is not in the same league, size or price-wise, as the 1Gen Pacifica and R-Class)
