Best electric estate cars 2025

MG5 EV

The MG5 was the first proper mainstream electric estate car, putting it at the top of everyone's list when it launched in 2020. 

Not only was it the first, but it also offers a really attractive price point (even more so if you pick up a used one), a large 580-litre boot and plenty of tech. 

Useful features include a well-sized 10.25-inch central touchscreen, physical, chunky buttons for the air-con, and soft-touch materials to make this cheap estate car feel much more premium than it is.  

Range is really strong too, with the SE Long Range getting up to 250 miles on a single charge, and the Trophy Long Range getting 235 miles. 

If quality and affordability are at the top of your list, a used MG5 is hard to ignore.

Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo 

If you want something properly luxurious, the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo might come to mind. 

It brings Porsche power and one of the best cabins of any electric car with loads of plush leather, the latest in-car techand a 446-litre boot. 

The Taycan Cross Turismo promises a claimed range of up to 380 miles of all-electric range from its 97kWh battery, and rapid charging up to 320kW. 

This gives you a charge from 20-80% in just 15 minutes. 

Now, the Taycan sits at the pricier end of the spectrum at around six figures, but if you can nab yourself a used one, there are some hefty discounts to be had. 

And if you want a sleeker look while still being as practical, the Taycan Sport Turismo is a great option. 

Audi A6 Avant e-tron 

The styling of estate cars is often controversial, like Marmite – you either love it or hate it. But in the case of the Audi A6 Avant e-tron, it’s a truly handsome thing. 

Many of its styling cues have been borrowed from its Q6 e-tron sibling, which you can see in its smooth curves and wide haunches.  

And then there’s the very practical 502-litre boot – ideal if you value practicality but don’t fancy the jacked-up style of SUVs. 

Audi says the A6 Avant e-tron will be able to do up to 437 miles on one charge from its massive 100kWh battery, and then rapid charge from 10-80% in just 21 minutes. 

Despite being closely matched to the Porsche, it’s priced much more attractively when new, and used ones cost a chunk less than that. 

Peugeot e-308 SW 

Taking our heads back out of dreamland is the Peugeot e-308 SW. And while it may be much cheaper than some others on this list, that’s not to say it’s not nearly as good to live with. 

Peugeot’s electric architecture, paired with its quirky design, makes the e-308 SW a really exciting option for families.  

It has a 548-litre boot and plenty of in-cabin storage solutions that position it as a very practical companion you can rely on. 

Plus, with a 258-mile range and rapid charging for 20-80% range in just 25 minutes, it’s easy to live with, too. 

Craig Hale, our motoring writer, said: "The Peugeot e-308 SW is still a rarity, virtually in a class of its own. There really aren't many electric estates that are as affordable, as very few come near looking as good as this one."

Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer Electric 

Unlike most other cars on this list, the Astra Sports Tourer is also available as a petrol or hybrid car, but we think the fully electric one is a great option to go for. 

This is thanks to Vauxhall’s – and the wider Stellantis Group’s – efficient yet affordable electric powertrain.

It’s actually based on the same platform as the e-308 we mentioned earlier (Stellantis is clearly doing something right), but gives you the option of a different design and a different badge if you prefer. 

Boot space measures in at 516 litres (160 more than the hatchback), which means there’s plenty of space to store all your family’s needs from prams to hockey sticks. 

BMW i5 Touring 

BMW knows how to make a car – that’s a fact, and the BMW i5 Touring is, dare we say, one of the best yet. 

With 601hp (in the top spec M60 version) and a robotic engine sound to match, it’s a blast to drive. Plus, you still get effortless estate car practicality from its massive 570-litre boot. 

Range is very impressive too, with a claimed 343 miles in its most efficient guise, but it doesn’t stop there.  

You also get 205kW rapid charging, which means a 10-80% top-up takes around 30 minutes. 

Yes, it’s not exactly cheap to buy an i5 new, but used examples are a snip. With BMW consistently being one of the most viewed brands on cinch, it's no wonder the i5 is constantly in demand.

VW ID.7 Tourer 

If the ID.7 Tourer electric estate is anything like the Passat (the car it’s based on), it’ll stand clear as a practical, affordable, and competent family car.  

Coming in with a huge 605-litre boot (1,714 litres with the rear seats folded), this is one of the best estate cars on the market. 

Not only this, but it gets a 424-mile range, which is only expected to increase as the model matures and VW launches facelifted versions.
