Estate cars provide comfort and practicality with their long, spacious body type and generous boot space. They share similarities with hatchbacks, for example, a boot that is attached to the main body of the vehicle with a rear window in the lid, but what makes them different is the extended rear end of an estate, which provides more boot storage.
To further maximise storage space, you should be able to fold down the back seats, extending the boot compartment into the passenger compartment. With estate cars, doing this will create as much room as you might find in a small van, so they are delightfully versatile vehicles.
Their roomy interiors make estates ideal for families and people who need lots of boot space for sporting equipment, dogs, luggage, camping gear or anything else. SUVs and crossovers are also popular choices for these types of car buyer, however estate cars tend to have the advantage in two key areas, which are fuel efficiency and drivability.
As estates are more lightweight than SUVs, they typically have lower rates of fuel consumption, making them more economical. As for drivability, once upon a time, estate cars had a reputation for not being very fun, but this now appears to be a thing of the past. Modern estate cars such as the BMW 5 Series Touring, the Volkswagen Passat Estate, and the Audi A6 Avant, are far more refined, dynamic and engaging to drive. Plus, estates are essentially elongated hatchbacks and not as bulky as 4x4s, which makes them more agile and easier to manoeuvre.
