Family Rockets: Which ‘Shooting Brakes’ Are Faster Than Some Supercars on the Roads

Amidst the dominance of crossovers, fast wagons seem almost like exotics, but they are the epitome of style and practicality today. In America, three models have taken the niche: the Audi RS 6 Avant, BMW M5 Touring, and the new Mercedes-AMG E 53 Hybrid Wagon. Mercedes-AMG E 53 Hybrid Wagon, a high-performance plug-in hybrid, has been dubbed the ‘family rocket’ due to its impressive speed and style. The Audi RS 6 Avant is another powerhouse, boasting a twin-turbo V8 engine and all-wheel drive, making it a force to be reckoned with on the roads. Finally, the BMW M5 Touring combines power and luxury in a sleek and elegant package, blending speed with comfort seamlessly.
