Estate car reviews

When you look at what people might own – a big estate or crossover most likely – the C5 X is fine value

A worthy estate that’ll swallow up family life better than any crossover. Strong exterior and interior design too

Audi’s fast five-door family estate now has more brains to go with all that brawn, making it a consummate all-rounder

With its eye-catching design, impressive equipment levels, and comfortable ride, the 308 SW makes a compelling case for itself

A Corolla estate is exactly as worthy (and no doubt as easy to own) as it sounds

Dacia’s focused relentlessly on building the best value seven-seater – everything else is a bonus

The Taycan Sport Turismo handles as beautifully as it looks, but we're not convinced it sufficiently outperforms the Cross Turismo

A refreshing niche that ain’t a crossover, but not as sporty as billed

It's a BMW 5 Series: very refined, great to drive and features loads of tech

The V60 is a sensible, safe Volvo, just as you’d expect. The estate car of choice if comfort (and style) means more to you than handling

Practical, comfortable and premium. A fantastic large estate from Skoda

A Good Car. Perhaps not quite as much of an all-rounder as a BMW 5 Series Touring, but the A6 Avant is still preferable to the majority of big five-seat SUVs

Makes a broadly good first impression with its S-Class-grade tech and comfy cabin. Final verdict to come once we've driven a UK car

This is finally the spicier Arteon we've been waiting for

A very well-rounded, complete, comfortable car with a calming temperament that makes it a pleasure to waft about in.

The Velar plugs a gap in, er, Land Rover's range of Range Rovers. It's bigger than the Evoque but smaller than the Sport

A fantastic looking car with a myriad of drivetrain options. Shame the Skoda Octavia exists

The most complete fast estate available today. And perhaps the best electric car, too

Much improved with new interior and smoother engines, The finest big wagon to drive

Time to blow the dust off the 'all the car you'd ever need or want' cliche... The big E has all bases covered.

Might not have the hustle of a BMW 3 Series Touring, but it’s got high-quality and refinement on its side
