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

    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 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?

    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.

  • Volvo V50 (2004-)

    Volvo V50 1

    Volvo V60 silver driving f3q

    Used price: From £18,250

    The V70's large luxury estate body is available with a huge number of engine choices, including an LPG option and the high performance V70R. Does the V70 put up stiff competition to its Germanic exec rivals? Which? Has been finding out.
