The estate body still delivers the longest, most usable load bay in its class — a Skoda Superb Estate swallows 690 litres with the rear seats up, matching many full-size SUVs. We’ve tested over 15 estates, from the BMW i5 Touring and Audi A6 Avant to Volvo’s V60 and V90, plus workhorse options like the Ford Focus Wagon and Skoda Octavia Combi. Our reviews focus on load volume, towing, and motorway refinement.
