  • Mercedes-Benz E-class estate (2010-)

    Mercedes-Benz E-class Estate 1

    New price: £31,185 - £82,220

    The latest E-class estate has great refinement, space and safety kit - but you have to pay handsomely for it.
  • Mini Clubman (2007-)

    Mini Clubman 1

    New price: £13,795 - £27,230

    It may be much larger than the Mini of the 60s, but the Mini Clubman is still rather cramped. But that doesn't seem to put off too many buyers.
  • Peugeot 207 SW (2007-)

    Peugeot 207 SW 1

    New price: £12,135 - £17,730

    We test the estate version of Peugeot's popular 207 supermini

    Peugeot308sw 1

    New price: £16,435 - £24,016

    This is the estate (SW) version of Peugeot's medium-sized 308 - it is one of the most practical estate cars in its class, but is it worth the cost?

    Peugeot 407 SW 3

    New price: £19,726 - £25,420

    The SW version of Peugeot's 407 large family car. almost making it into the MPV category, the SW is actually more of a big estate than anything else.

    Peugeot 508 RHX 1a

    New price: £33,910 - £36,015

    With its diesel-electric power, the Peugeot 508 RXH promises exceptional fuel economy - but does it deliver?
  • Peugeot 508 SW (2011-)

    Peugeot 508 SW fr

    New price: £19,865 - £30,855

    The SW version of Peugeot's 508 large family car is so practical it's almost an MPV, but the SW is very much in the traditional big estate category.

    Renault Clio Sport Tourer gold static f3q

    New price: £10,405 - £17,105

    The estate version of Renault's popular supermini is a good all-rounder. It's decent to drive, economical and well-equipped - and the boot has plenty of space.

    Renault Laguna 12

    New price: £19,225 - £26,975

    Renault's Laguna Sport Tourer is a fine motorway cruiser, but lacks behind rivals in some areas

    Seat Exeo ST 2012

    New price: £20,655 - £26,465

    The Seat Exeo Sport Tourer is essentially the old-model Audi A4 Avant estate in disguise. The Which? testers find out if it is worth a look.

    Seat Ibiza ST 2012 0

    New price: £12,380 - £17,470

    Audi A4 Avant 2012 1

    Used price: From £14,450

    The Audi A4 Avant five-door range of estates, built from 2008 onwards. The impressive, but pricey, list of options should keep gadget fans happy.

    audi a4 allroad 1

    Used price: From £23,000

    Rugged Allroad is half-estate, half-4x4
  • Audi A6 Avant (2004-2011)

    Audi A6 Avant

    Used price: From £8,475

    The Audi A6 estate range, built from 2004 onwards, is spacious, clever and classy. But is it worth the premium prices that used examples command?
  • Audi A6 allroad (2008-2012)

    Audi Allroad New

    Used price: From £16,350

    One of the smartest family wagons around, but can it hold its own against newer rivals?
  • BMW 3 Series Touring (2005-2012)

    BMW 3 Series Touring

    Used price: From £8,195

    The BMW 3 Series Touring is an estate to be reckoned with: it offers a great driving experience and excellent refinement, but isn't quite as practical as some rivals.

    BMW 5 Series Touring (2004-2010)

    Used price: From £8,375

    The BMW 5 Series Touring, made between 2004 and 2010, is a benchmark estate in the luxury sector. Can it be both practical and good to drive?

  • Citroën C5 Tourer (2008-)

    Citroen C5 4

    Used price: From £8,125

  • Ford Focus Estate (1998-2005)

    Ford Focus mk1 Estate 1

    Used price: From £1,525

    There's a lot to recommend the previous generation of the Ford Focus Estate - it's big, good to drive, and now that it's getting on a bit, it's becoming very cheap to buy.
  • Ford Focus Estate (2005-2011)

    Ford Focus Estate (2005-) front

    Used price: From £3,695

    A more practical version of one of Britain's favourite family cars, the Mk2 Focus estate is good value for money and has a five-star Euro NCAP safety rating.
