Actually, the Kombi stands a bit taller than a station wagon,
but doesn't sit as high above the road as an SUV... IIRC...
sort-of a cross between them, with some genes from a VW Microbus
and Land Rover thrown in (although Kombis predate the Microbus)...

I'm told many are outfitted for camping excursions.
