作者 / 常 笑 编辑 / 张 南 设计 / 顾 远 时尚圈有个经典定律：审美就是一场轮回。今天看似过时的单品，明天就可能因为设计师的巧妙重构，再次翻红成为街头巷尾的焦点。 这种规律在当今的汽车圈同样适用。最近几年，方盒子车型凭借其复古的造型和独特的空间利用率一度成为话题中心，紧接着，大型MPV又以"移动的 会客厅"概念迎合了家庭出行与商务需求的升级，成为新的增长点。 中国旅行车简史 说起旅行车，其本质上是在三厢轿车的基础上，将车尾的"后备箱"部分向上延伸，从而形成一个更大的乘坐及储物空间。而更直白的说法，就是既有轿 车的操控体验，又有SUV的后排空间。 在中国市场，旅行车还有个十分亲切的昵称——"瓦罐"，也就是"Wagon"的音译。 早在1986年10月，广州标致就引入了505 SW8，这款挂着"Station Wagon"（客货旅行车）名头的车型，在那个私家车仍属凤毛麟角的年代，凭借8个座位 的超大空间和"进口高档车"的身份，确实吸引了不少目光。 那么，当时尚浪潮继续滚动，汽车圈下一个"轮值"的顶流又会是谁？ 2025年9月，随着享界S9T盛大上市，这款被舆论贴上"最美旅行车"标签的新产品，叠加鸿蒙智行掌 ...
