Used Volkswagen Estate for sale

Popular Volkswagen estate cars

Volkswagen has four medium to large estates to pick from, offering a balance of practicality and refined driving dynamics.

The smallest takes a hatchback foundation and adds extra length and boot space, while the three larger models extend on traditional and sleek saloon-type models.

Being a premium brand, VW’s estates go up against other high-end rivals from Audi, BMW and Mercedes, but Volkswagen’s offerings tend to be more affordable.

What types of Volkswagen estate cars are there?

Used Volkswagen estates for sale come in different sizes and configurations to cater to a variety of needs, but where they really stand out is fuel options.

Besides the usual petrol and diesel powertrains, there are mild hybrid and plug-in hybrid options for the budget-conscious.

There’s even a new ID-branded electric model, which we’ve driven. The ID.7 Tourer is highly refined, extremely premium and offers a solid 400-mile range.

What is it like to live with a Volkswagen estate?

Living with a Volkswagen estate for sale is one of life’s pleasures – high-quality interiors, ergonomic seating and smooth suspension for long journeys help them blend into your life.

You’ll also notice just how efficient these things can be, with diesel models capable of 60mpg on a long run and the electric ID.7 Tourer promising over 420 miles of range between charges.

Modern infotainment systems and digital displays also feature in many used Volkswagen estates – they work well with minimal lag, but they’re more understated than in-your-face.

Volkswagen estate cars vs. SUVs vs. saloons

Used VW estates for sale are known first and foremost for their incredible boot spaces, often surpassing the industry average. They’re incredibly versatile given that they’re based on normal hatchbacks and saloons, and tend to retain those models’ stability and calm driving experiences.

Volkswagen’s SUVs are extremely popular among families, including the Tiguan, but while SUVs are all the rage, the Passat has 38 litres more boot space than the Tiguan.

Who are Volkswagen estate cars suitable for?

Volkswagen estate cars for sale are perfect for families, because their generous boot space and comfortable seating make them great for school runs and road trips where everyone (and everything) has enough space.

Business users are also fans of Volkswagen’s estates, especially the Passat, because they can benefit from relatively low running costs.

If you’re an outdoor enthusiast, consider yourself catered for. Apart from the large amounts of storage space for all that muddy gear, some models come with ‘4MOTION’ four-wheel drive, including the sporty ID.7 GTX hot estate.
