Here are 11 electric estates available now or in the near future

“The Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo is the most complete fast estate available today,” we concluded in our full review – and that pretty much sums up all you need to know.

Compared to the regular Taycan, it sits a little higher, there’s more rear headroom, and you get a slightly bigger boot – 405 litres with the seats up or 1,171 litres with the seats down.  

In early 2024, Porsche announced a significant update to its electric flagship, with improved power, range and charging times. Can anything stop it?

Got your eye on a Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo, but want slightly less of the Audi Allroad treatment? The Taycan Sport Turismo, which sees the ride height slightly lowered and the plastic body cladding prised off, could be your answer.

Post facelift you now get an 89kWh battery in the entry-level Sport Turismo, while a 402bhp electric motor drives the rear wheels for a 0-62mph time of 4.8 seconds and a range of 352 miles on a single charge. There's 270kW DC rapid charging too. 

Want more speed? The Turbo S now has a bonkers 939bhp and does 0-62mph in 2.4 seconds, but the proper driver's Sport Turismo may be the mid-range GTS.

Peugeot’s design team are on a roll of late, and the third generation 308 and 308 SW are no exception. Originally available with petrol and diesel engines only, Peugeot has since rolled out hybrid and fully electric powertrains to both the hatchback and estate. Result.

The e-308 SW (short for Sports Wagon, FYI) gets a 154bhp electric motor mated to a 54kWh battery for up 254 miles of range (and a best-in-class efficiency of 4.93 miles per kW, it claims), with 100kW fast charging allowing for a 20-80 per cent top-up in 25 minutes, if you can find a plug capable of those speeds.

Inside you get Peugeot’s smart looking i-Cockpit, while boot capacity is 548 litres with the rear seats up, and 1,574 litres up to the roof with the rear seats down. "Probably the best all-rounder you can currently buy at the affordable end of the market," was the verdict in our review.

We’re big fans of the Vauxhall Astra Electric – great looks, decent to drive and low running costs – so a longer, more spacious, bigger booted variant was always going to appeal to our better nature too.

And lo, meet the Vauxhall Astra Electric Sports Tourer. Doesn’t roll off the tongue quite so easily, does it? Still, it shares the same 154bhp electric motor, 54kWh battery, 254ish-mile range as the Peugeot e-308 SW – yep, plenty of Stellantis cross platform sharing going on here – but gets a slightly more mature suit.

It gets a slightly smaller boot compared to the Peugeot though, with 516 litres seats up and 1,553 seats down. We reckon it's a little bit plain too.

The BMW i5 Touring is available in two iterations, the entry-level i5 eDrive40 (rear-wheel drive, 335bhp, 295lb ft) which offers up to 348 miles of range from its 81kWh battery pack, and the range-topping i5 M60 (all-wheel drive, 593bhp, 586lb ft), capable of the 0-62mph sprint in 3.9secs, but a slightly reduced 314 miles range from its identical sized battery.

BMW tells us all models get the same 570 / 1,700 litre (seats up / down) boot. Prices start from just over £70k.

Thankfully, the production electric A6 looks remarkably similar to the lovely e-tron concept that we first saw way back in 2021. It's based on the new PPE platform shared with Porsche, and you can even have an S6 Avant with 543bhp capable of zero to 62mph in 3.9 seconds.

It’s also the schportiest electric estate wearing the four rings you’re going to get, with Audi having cancelled plans for an electric RS6 e-tron. Sad times.

Surprise! It's a booted version of the ID.7 saloon (which you can read about by clicking these blue words), complete with an extra 72 litres of bootspace for a 605 litre total. Seats down, you’re looking at 1948 litres of load lugging volume.

Now, you can also have it in all-wheel drive GTX form with 335bhp and a 0-62mph time of 5.5 seconds. Useful in the traffic light grand prix.

Merc shouts loud and proud that this CLA Shooting Brake is its first electric 'estate'... even if Shooting Brakes aren't technically estates and this technically isn’t a Shooting Brake. But let’s not get into all that here and now.

Instead know this: this is the only way you’ll get to an electric estate wearing the three-pointed star on the front. Two versions will be available on our shores: the rear-drive 250+ (268bhp/85kWh battery/473 miles of range) and the all-wheel drive 350+ 4MATIC (439bhp/85kWh battery/454 miles of range). Less range when fully loaded, mind.

Speaking of, you’re looking at up to 455 litres of cargo space with the back seats up, or 1,290 litres with the seats down.

Originally unveiled as the Subaru Trailseeker, as it shall be known in the US, Subaru’s new all-electric off-roading estate will be wearing a more familiar badge when it arrives in the UK next year. Namely, E-Outback.

So what do we know? Well, it’s Subaru’s first EV designed in house, and it sits on the carmaker’s e-SGP platform. Underneath it gets a combined 375bhp from two electric motors with up to 279 miles of range from the 74.7kWh battery.

And there’s proper off-road nous here beyond the rugged looks too, including Subaru's symmetrical all-wheel-drive system and 210mm of ground clearance, plus up to 1,588kg of towing capability. Should keep the Subaru faithful happy.

Skoda gave us a glimpse of its future electric estate at the 2025 Munich Motor Show when it revealed this, the Vision O Concept.

Looks rather smart too. It wears an ‘evolved’ version of the Czech carmaker’s Modern Solid design language, complete with a “tech-loop face mask”, which we don't understand but sounds terrifying, and a 1.2-metre display stretching across the dashboard.

We likely won’t see a production version until 2028, in line with the Octavia’s current life cycle. More as we have it…

Bet you weren’t expecting this one, were you? The Toyota bZ4X Touring ditches the regular car's SUV shape for a more estate like build – and we’re all for it.

Measuring in some 20mm taller and 140mm longer than the current bX4X, bootspace is increased by around a third to 600 litres. Those roof rails also allow for loads up to 70kg, while towing capacity has been boosted to 1,500kg.

Underneath you’ve the choice of single or dual motor versions, with up to 348 miles of range from the 74.7kWh battery. Expect to see it spring 2026.
