6/10KiaCee'd Sportswagon£19,625 – £24,585The Kia Cee'd is the car that lobs the paving slab of reality into the windscreen of preconception. It might be a straight clone of a Toyota/Ford/VW hatch, but it’s a damn good one.
8/10SkodaOctavia Estate£20,680 – £29,700Not as much fun as a Focus Estate, but more comfortable, practical and very well thought out. Looks the part, too.
6/10Peugeot508 SW£27,425 – £42,175Not the most rounded family estate, but the big Pug oozes desirability. Much cooler than a 3 Series
6/10Peugeot508 SW£27,425 – £42,175The Peugeot 508 SW is a better car than the Citroen C5 Tourer it shares its chassis with.
8/10SubaruOutback£32,410 – £35,410A likeable Swiss Army knife. A bit bland but will shrug off anything thrown at it.
7/10JaguarXF Sportbrake£37,125 – £54,125Jaguar said its SUVs made new estate cars pointless. It’s built one anyway, and it’s mostly a success.
