Estate

If you’re after bags of space but you don’t want to commit to the van-like dimensions and styling of an MPV, there are some great estate cars on offer that should do the job.

Tricks to look out for include an electric tailgate that opens automatically when you wave your foot under the rear bumper; this is particularly handy if you’re trying to load in a heavy or bulky item. You should also look for handles in the side of the boot itself that can drop down the rear seats; these are much more convenient than having to walk around the side of the car to do it.

A comfortable, hugely practical and well priced estate car, so we can forgive the slightly disappointing interior quality.

Volkswagen Passat

BMW M3

from £76,000
One of the best four-door sports saloons you can buy. It's quite frenetic, though, and only really comes alive when driven hard.

Skoda Octavia Estate

from £29,485
The Octavia Estate gives you loads of space at a competitive price – it's one of the best estate cars available

Toyota Corolla Touring Sports

from £32,195
The Corolla Touring Sports is a comfortable and well-equipped estate car with fuel-saving hybrid tech

Toyota bZ4X Touring

from £39,995
The bZ4X Touring is a pure-electric estate with a rugged sense of occasion

Mercedes C-Class Estate

from £42,445
The Mercedes C-Class Estate is well equipped and has a plush cabin, but it’s not as good to drive as its rivals.

Volkswagen Golf R

from £22,990
With superb performance and four-wheel drive, the VW Golf R is one of the quickest cars point to point, but a Honda Civic Type R is more fun

Audi A4 Avant

from £34,125
Superb quality, comfort and refinement make the practical Audi A4 Avant one of the best estates you can buy.

Seat Leon Estate

from £22,248
The Seat Leon ST is a good all-rounder, but its rivals outclass it in a number of key areas.

Audi RS6

from £103,875
The RS6 has great performance and a family-friendly body. However, it’s not much fun to drive and the ride is uncomfortable.

Volkswagen Golf Estate

from £30,235
The VW Golf Estate is one of our favourite estate cars. It's brilliant to drive, priced competitively and well equipped

Suzuki Swace

from £27,714
The Suzuki Swace is almost identical to the estate version of Toyota's Corolla – but costs less

Peugeot 408

from £22,794
The Peugeot 408 is a left-field choice in the executive car field, but it impresses for value, interior quality and boot space

BMW 3 Series Touring

from £35,990
There are more practical estates than the 3 Series Touring, but its handling and performance make it one of the best options

Audi A5 Avant

from £36,499
The A5 Avant is Audi's new estate car – it's comfy and refined but not as practical as rivals

Volkswagen ID 7 Tourer

from £45,068

Dacia Jogger

from £18,695
The Jogger is the UK's cheapest new seven-seater, and it's practical and well equipped

Mercedes CLA Shooting Brake

from £38,225
The Mercedes CLA Shooting Brake is great to look at, but rival estates are more practical and better to drive.

Mercedes E-Class Estate

from £53,770
The Mercedes E-Class Estate may not be the best for passenger space, but the boot is huge and it’s an effortless long-distance cruiser.

Volvo V90

from £60,600
Volvo has long been synonymous with estates, and the V90 is its best yet. It's a spacious, practical and classy choice.

Ford Focus Estate

from £23,222

from £64,643
For the first time, BMW’s plush 5 Series Touring estate is available in fully electric i5 form

New BMW 5 Series Touring

from £49,306

BMW Alpina B3 Touring

The Alpina B3 Touring is a fast and comfy estate alternative to the BMW M3

Ford Focus ST

from £21,499
The Focus ST is still one of the most enjoyable all-rounders in the hot hatch class. It's good value and easy to live with.

Volvo V60

from £43,955
Tidy handling, beautifully built, with a comfortable ride. And did we mention it’s blooming roomy? The Volvo V60 is a great estate car

Volkswagen Golf Alltrack

from £28,560
Worth considering if you need a practical car with the ability to tackle the odd muddy trail

Volkswagen Arteon Shooting Brake

from £33,665
Coupé estate is not as practical as a full-blown estate car but still holds plenty of luggage and appeal

BMW M5

from £89,499
Despite having the power to slay supercars, the BMW M5 is comfortable and no harder to drive than a regular 5 Series. However, it’s not quite as exciting as the Mercedes-AMG E63
