This station wagon has a LiDAR sensor on the roof. It is the very first Neta car to have this technical element.

The spotted S station wagons both ride on R19 wheels with Giti tires. However, this car has optional R20 rims with Michelin tires. Like the sedan variant, the S-wagon has retractable door handles that reduce the drag coefficient. All in all, the Neta S station wagon remains in line with the S sedan. However, everything changes after the C-pillar.
The S Hunting Edition has a smoother roofline that flows into D-pillars, which form the characteristic contours of the station wagon. It has a large roof spoiler, a rear window wiper and a unique bumper. But the rear light cluster of this car remains in line with its sedan brother.
The interior of the Neta S wagon remains consistent with the sedan variant. It gets the same screen layout with a giant 17.6-inch portrait-oriented main screen, a 12.3-inch front passenger screen and a 13.3-inch LCD instrument cluster. It also gets an AR HUD behind the steering wheel. The S wagon gets a D-shaped steering wheel with a gear lever mounted behind it. Interestingly, the S Hunting Edition carries over the new centre tunnel design without the dull glossy plastics. The quality of materials has also been improved.
