Station wagons still seem to dot the driveways of America. Admittedly however, there are fewer of them when compared the to late 1970s and early 1980s. The mini-van did a lot to stifle the station wagon segment. Although, there are a few that remain that are pretty powerful. Here is a list of the five highest horsepower station wagons.
2020 Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Tourismo
Mention the name Porsche and everybody immediately thinks sports cars. But, did you know that they also make wagons and SUVs too? That might be a bit surprising to some. But, they have built a wagon with the flavor of a stretched 911. Yes, it is a performance beast. As expected, it tops our list. Edmunds says, “Handles more like a sports car than a large sedan” and “Refined interior design with the latest technology.”

2020 Volvo V90 Cross Country
Volvo made a name for itself making safe wagons. Although they have taken risks in branching out and making hatchbacks and SUVs, they still make a pretty strong performance wagon. Edmunds says of the V90 Cross Country, “interior is upscale and stylish” and “more off-road capability than in regular wagons.”
- Zero-to-sixty 5.6 seconds
- 316 horsepower
- Turbocharged and supercharged 4-cylinder

BONUS: 2019 Ford Flex Limited
The Ford Flex has been a slow seller the last few years. That is why it is on this list as a bonus. Some dealers still have 2019 Flex Limiteds sitting on their lots. So, if you can find one, you will score a wagon with some serious motivating power. Edmunds says, “Turbocharged V6 engine has an abundance of power” and “Outward visibility is excellent for such a large vehicle.”

Although for a while wagons were waning in popularity, they are still among us. Some of them are serious performance beasts too. So, if you are considering a performance wagon, keep the list above handy for reference. It may be 2020, but the state of the wagon is still strong.
