Alpha wants us to believe that it’s a real automotive company, despite not having released or sold a single vehicle to the public. As of now, the company has a full lineup of nine retro-styled vehicles, covering nearly every vehicle preference from coupes to sedans to pickups. Its latest is this admittedly cool EV wagon.

Called the , it’s based on the company’s someday upcoming sedan. The wagon is unique in that the rear hatch is angled, giving it an almost shooting brake-like appearance. You’d think with a roof and cargo area angled like that, it would cut into cargo room. But the company claims the Saga Estate has 35 cubic feet of cargo space.If you compared that space to the on the market today, it would be similar to the Mercedes E450 All Terrain.

While the wagon may look compact in pictures, it’s not actually compact at all.Measuring 15 feet long, six and a half feet wide, and weighing just over 4,500 pounds, it has crossover-like dimensions. Alpha’s claimed dimensions put the Saga at about a foot or so shorter than a Jeep Grand Cherokee while weighing a more (depending on the engine of course).

Alpha claims the Saga Estate will have over 300 miles of range from its 85 kWh lithium-ion battery. The Saga’s claimed dual-motor all-wheel drive setup is said to provide a claimed 0 to 60 acceleration time of 6.3 seconds. While the time isn’t that slow, its 0.1 seconds slower than a Kia Niro EV, the next closest wagon-y EV.

There could even be an off-road kit option to give the Estate things like bigger wheels, off-road lights, and an increased ride height — all for $45,000. But again, there is no set production date. Instead, Alpha is expecting your in the ever-familiar form of

But reserve at your own peril. As far as production goes, the company claims its will launch at the end of 2023. But that date certainly sounds optimistic considering what two company reps explained in an interview with last December: Which was nothing. It was more a confusing, circular carnival about the cars being in production, but not being in production.

All of the vehicles that we have released are in production process. In our production process. Every one of those is within our production process.

Yeah, it just means that they’re all at varying degrees of the production process, but they are all in development. For sure.
