SINGAPORE – The BMW 520i Touring is in a class of one in Singapore, being a large station wagon with a premium badge.
Station wagons, or estates as they are called in some places, are regular four-door saloon cars with roofs that are stretched to create more room for cargo behind the rear seats. They are relatively rare in Singapore. In 2024, sport utility vehicles (SUV) outsold station wagons by nearly 100 to one.
