Estate car reviews

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

The first exec-sized electric wagon on the scene, and good enough the others need not bother… unless they can undercut BMW’s hefty prices

Desirable, yet frustrating. Expensive. It's truly niche

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

Merc’s second crack at a small coupe-ish estate car based on a hatchback… is a good’un

A likeable Swiss Army knife. Used to be a bit bland but it now stands out and will shrug off anything thrown at it

This reworked RS4 shows how committed RS GmbH is to creating cars of real character. A bit uptight, mind

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

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

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

Light on practicality, but otherwise the most complete sports estate available today. And one of the best electric cars, too

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
