The W124 (sedan) and the S124 (wagon) had exactly the same wheelbase and total length.

Beside the obvious differences in the rear doors, the wagon has a larger windshield glass and a higher roof profile, providing slightly better interior headroom than the sedan.

Mechanically, besides the standard rear self-levelling suspension, the wagon came equipped with bigger and better brakes and its almost 50/50 weight distribution provided much better handling characteristics than the sedan.
