Estate Cars

Also known as station wagons, estate cars are versatile family cars, largely based on sedans, offering all the space you need. Estate cars feature an elongated boot area opening up a large amount of boot space similar to SUVs. But the key thing is that estate cars are still compact in comparison to SUVs as they are based on sedans. This means you can enjoy the ride and handling of a saloon while enjoying the extra space at the back. Sounds like the best of both worlds? You bet!

Estate buying guide

Price is always one of the biggest considerations for anyone looking to upgrade their car and it's no different when it comes to a used estate car. While smaller cars such as hatchbacks will take a smaller bite out of your budget, there's no reason why AA Cars can't help you find a choice of used estate cars for sale that fit within your budget.

Another important concern for anyone in the market for a second-hand estate car is the amount of space it offers. With a small estate car such as the Mini Clubman, you must expect that space will be at a premium when you compare it to larger options such as the Škoda Superb.

Do you want your estate car to deal with off-road terrain? The Mercedes E-Class All-Terrain and the Volvo V90 Cross Country are just two variants of estate car with body stylings that can take on harsher environments. There are also fast station wagons in the used car market, if you want a performance car with more space for the weekend duties.

  • Why buy a estate?

    The best estate cars combine the space of an SUV with the agility of a hatchback and the style of a saloon. For many motorists, this makes them a perfect multi-purpose option. Not only are used estate cars well-equipped for shorter school runs and commutes thanks to a lower profile, but they also offer a smoother driving experience over longer distances too.

    If you have a particular favourite when it comes to the many different automotive brands, you won't be left wanting. Each of the major car makers include at least one estate car within their range - even the Mini comes in an estate version. So, choosing one of our used estate cars for sale doesn't mean having to give up on the brand and image that you want your car to convey.

    Of course, one of the biggest considerations where second hand estate cars truly excel as your next vehicle is practicality. The large boot space is one of the strongest selling points of a used estate car. Take the VW Golf estate, for example. It has 605 litres of space in the boot, so you won't have any problems when it comes to fitting in the family supplies if heading on holiday.

    The hatchback-style boot door enhances the practicality of estate cars - small or large. As the frame of the door normally runs true with the floor of the boot, access is significantly improved - and that can be handy if your dog(s) will be coming along for the ride. Remember that you'll be able to fold the seats down in the rear too, creating an even bigger amount of boot space.

  • Which estate should I buy?

    You could be mistaken for thinking that a bigger car means paying more to keep it on the road. But it's not always the case - there are plenty of cheap estate cars that come with a great deal of quality for the price you're paying. Take the Skoda Superb, VW Passat or Dacia Logan for an affordable example of the type of used car estate cars for sale you can find with AA Cars.

    If urban driving or winding country roads are a feature of daily life, an agile estate car will be more beneficial. The Ford Mondeo remains a popular used car choice for driving experience - and the estate variant is no different. Other examples of used estate cars choices that promise pace and panache, include the BMW 5 Series Touring or the Volvo V90.

    The V90 is also one to consider if safety is paramount when coming to choose your next car. In addition to its considerable boot space and cool Scandinavian stylings, the V90 is an example of a used estate car that is brimming with safety features.

    For a touch of luxury when looking through our collection of used estate cars for sale, you can't go wrong with what Germany has to offer. The Audi A4 Avant, Mercedes E Class Estate and the BMW 3/5 Series Touring models all stand out from the crowd. While space is a core concern like any other estate car, they still retain the classic hallmarks you'd expect from these brands.

  • What is an estate car?

    An estate is a type of sedan with an elongated rear boot that opens up space, making them highly practical. They are also known as station wagons or wagons, and they strike a balance between SUVs and sedans.

  • Which estate car has the biggest boot?

    Some estate cars with the biggest boot are the Volvo V90, Mercedes-Benz E-Class estate, Škoda Superb estate and the BMW 5 Series touring. All these cars offer close to 2000 litres with the middle row seats folded down.

  • How long is an estate car?

    Estate cars range in length from 4.2 m to 5.2m. This also makes them longer than most hatchbacks and compact SUVs.

  • Can you sleep in an estate car?

    Yes, it is possible to sleep in an estate car, especially if you fold-down the second-row seats to open up more room. However, the exact space in an estate car depends on the model of choice.
