49 New Estates reviews available

  • Audi A4 Avant (2008-)

    Audi A4 Avant 2012 1

    New price: £23,410 - £55,090

    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 (2009-)

    audi a4 allroad 1

    New price: £31,160 - £37,100

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

    Audi A6 Avant

    New price: £28,550 - £79,384

    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 Avant (2011-)

    Audi A6 Avant 2011 01

    New price: £33,105 - £56,290

    The Audi A6 Avant estate, built from 2011 onwards, is spacious, clever and classy. But is it worth paying Audi's high prices?
  • Audi A6 allroad (2008-2012)

    Audi Allroad New

    New price: £39,850 - £43,135

    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

    New price: £23,990 - £40,160

    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 3 Series Touring (2012-)

    BMW 3 Series Touring 2012 1

    New price: £24,485 - £42,395

    BMW 3 Series Touring (2012-) review - full test report on the fifth-generation 3 Series estate.
  • BMW 5 Series Touring (2004-2010)

    BMW 5 Series Touring (2004-2010)

    New price: £30,090 - £69,385

    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?
  • BMW 5 Series Touring (2010-)

    BMW-5-Series-Touring-1

    New price: £33,075 - £60,590

    Does the spacious 5 Series estate retain its sporty nature?
  • Chevrolet Lacetti Station Wagon (2005-2011)

    New price: £13,320 - £14,545

    Chevrolet's medium estate car, the Lacetti SW
  • Citroën C5 Tourer (2008-)

    Citroen C5 4

    New price: £21,115 - £30,170

    Roomy C5 estate has its plus-points, but is more attractive as a used buy
  • Ford Focus Estate (2005-2011)

    Ford Focus Estate (2005-) front

    New price: £16,325 - £21,190

    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.

Used Estates

52 Used Estates reviews available

  • Ford Focus Estate (2011-)

    Ford Focus Estate 2011

    Used price: From £2,125

    The Focus estate is the more practical version of one of Britain's favourite family cars.
  • Ford Mondeo Estate (2007-)

    Ford Mondeo 10

    Used price: From £7,095

    Ford's latest Mondeo Estate takes on its large car rivals with smart looks and a serious amount of space. We find out if that's enough in this tough market.
  • Honda Accord Tourer (2003-2008)

    Honda Accord 10

    Used price: From £3,675

    The previous-generation Accord Tourer helped bolster Honda's reputation for quality and reliability. It has a more upmarket feel than the previous Accord.
  • Honda Accord Tourer (2008-)

    Honda Accord Tourer (2008-)

    Used price: From £12,095

    Honda has pushed its family-sized Accord Tourer upmarket - with higher prices to match. So should Audi, BMW and Mercedes be worried?
  • Hyundai i30 estate (2007-2012)

    Hyundai i30 11

    Used price: From £6,595

    The Hyundai i30 estate marks a step up in practicality compared to the i30 hatchback. But how good it as an estate car?
  • Kia Cee'd SW (2007-2012)

    Kia ceed sw 2012 1

    Used price: From £6,350

    The Kia Cee'd SW is a medium estate that can take on the Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf. And it's cheaper than either.
  • Mazda 6 Estate (2008-)

    Mazda 6 Estate static 1

    Used price: From £9,495

    The 2008 Mazda 6 Estate offers the sharp styling and sporty driving feel of its saloon equivalent, with increased practicality. So is it still a good choice?
  • Mercedes-Benz C-class Estate (2008-)

    Mercedes-C-class-Estate-1

    Used price: From £15,195

    The latest Mercedes-Benz C-class Estate is still as luxurious as ever, but with practicality in spades. So can it steal sales from BMW's 3 Series Touring?
  • Mercedes-Benz C-class estate (2000-2007)

    1 old merc class estate

    Used price: From £3,625

    More lifestyle than load-lugger, the C-class estate has an image that's hard to beat, even if its boot isn't the largest on offer. Becoming more affordable now that used examples of the latest C-class estate are appearing on forecourts.
  • Mercedes-Benz E-class estate (2010-)

    Mercedes-Benz E-class Estate 1

    Used price: From £22,750

    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

    Used price: From £8,225

    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

    Used price: From £5,250

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