An early model of off-road-styled station wagons was the [[Subaru Outback|Subaru Legacy Outback]] (later Outback) in 1994. At the time, Subaru was absent in the growing SUV segment. Lacking the finances to design a ground-up SUV, Subaru added a two-tone paint scheme, body cladding, and a suspension lift to the [[Subaru Legacy|Legacy]] wagon. It was marketed as a capable and more efficient alternative to larger truck-based SUVs.<ref name="Philly.com">{{cite news|last=Haas |first=Al |date=2008-08-02 |title=The 2010 Subaru Outback: a rugged redesign |website=Philly.com |url= http://www.philly.com/philly/classifieds/cars/20090802_The_2010_Subaru_Outback__a_rugged_redesign.html |url-status=dead|accessdate=2009-08-20 |archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20090805081225/http://www.philly.com/philly/classifieds/cars/20090802_The_2010_Subaru_Outback__a_rugged_redesign.html|archivedate=August 5, 2009}}</ref> Another example is the [[Volvo V70 XC]] (also called V70 Cross Country), first introduced in 1999.<ref name="1998usXC70webpageWBM">{{cite web|date=1998|title=Volvo V70 AWD XC|url= http://www.volvocars.com/models/moz1/v70awd_xc.shtml|url-status=dead|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/19980613152337/http://www.volvocars.com/models/moz1/v70awd_xc.shtml|archive-date=1998-06-13 |access-date=2017-07-29 |publisher=Volvo Cars of North America}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|date=17 June 1998 |title=Volvo V70 Cross Country im Test: Dreck-Schatz |trans-title=Volvo V70 Cross Country review: Dirt treasure |url= https://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/einzeltests/volvo-v70-cross-country-im-test-dreck-schatz-767839.html |url-status=live |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20180108141244/https://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/einzeltests/volvo-v70-cross-country-im-test-dreck-schatz-767839.html |archive-date=2018-01-08|access-date=2018-01-07 |publisher=Auto, Motor & Sport |language=de |quote=wordplay on "Dreckspatz" [litter bug]}}</ref> In 2002, the model was renamed the XC70.
