Estate car reviews

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

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

Audi’s heartland hero might not have the hustle of a BMW 3 Series Touring, but it’s plenty competent and got refinement on its side

Goes, stops, and steers like a proper M special. No compromise in practicality

The Audi A6 Avant makes a compelling case for itself, but doesn’t quite match up to the all-round excellence of the BMW 5 Series Touring

A fine, good-looking, practical estate and a great cruiser. Just don't buy it for the thrills

Not as complete as a Skoda Superb, but the world’s a better place with zany French wagons

For the vast majority of us, the 3 Series Touring is all the car we could use or want. For the final one per cent there will soon be the M3 Touring

MG gives the previously dull-but-useful MG5 a thorough upgrade inside and out. Reveals a decent, relatively cheap, unfussy pure electric estate

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

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

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

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

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
