Default Sedan vs wagon dynamics

Hey guys, I've been trying to decide how the wagons perform dynamically in comparison to their sedan counterparts. Despite being 20cm longer, 45cm higher, and have ~22cm longer wheelbase, they're only 90kg heavier, the same as having a chunky passenger. Psychologically, a wagon would feel much bigger and heavier as a sedan is more an enclosed space, and the rear leaf wouldn't be as independant as a coil, but aside from that I can't see any major differences in performance.

I don't see how they're apparently 40cm thinner in width though. According to the stats I'm going on, it has the same interior room (although more front & back headroom), must be something with the bodywork.
