11 Electric Estate Cars Coming Soon: Why Wagons Are the Smarter EV Play Than SUVs

Let’s be real – SUVs get all the glory, but if you’re after that perfect blend of cargo space, sleek lines, and zero tailpipe guilt, electric estates (or wagons, if you’re stateside) are the unsung heroes. With 2025 ushering in a wave of battery-powered haulers that stretch from city zipsters to long-haul luxo-barges, we’ve rounded up 11 standouts available now or hitting roads by 2026. These aren’t just greener crossovers; they’re practical powerhouses with 300+ mile ranges, fast charges, and enough boot for weekend escapes. From Porsche’s rapid-fire Taycan duo to Subaru’s trail-ready E-Outback, here’s why estates are cooler, cleaner, and coming for your garage.

Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo: The Ultimate All-Rounder Estate

Porsche’s rugged Taycan twist sits 0.8 inches higher than the saloon for extra headroom and a 405-liter boot (1,171 folded) – ideal for track toys or family gear. The 2024 facelift packs an 89 kWh battery for 352 miles in base RWD (402 hp, 4.8s 0-62), with 270 kW DC charging. Turbo S? 939 hp, 2.4s sprints. £80K start – the estate that’s as comfy on cobblestones as circuits.

Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo: Sleek Speed Without the Lift

Ditch the Cross’s cladding for this lower-slung sibling – same 89 kWh pack yields 352 miles, but with sportier poise and a snappier GTS mid-ranger (590 hp, 3.7s 0-62). Boot’s identical, charging matches, but it’s £2K cheaper at entry. For drivers who want Taycan thrill minus the faux-SUV vibe – pure grand tourer elegance.

Peugeot e-308 SW: Affordable All-Rounder with Class-Leading Efficiency

Peugeot’s electric wagon nails value: 54 kWh battery, 154 hp motor, 254 miles range, and 4.93 mi/kWh efficiency – best in budget bunch. 100 kW charging (20-80% in 25 min), 548-liter boot (1,574 folded), and i-Cockpit dash with 10-inch screen. £35K start – the e-308 SW’s the practical EV that feels premium without the pinch.

Vauxhall Astra Electric Sports Tourer: British Build with Stellantis Smarts

Vauxhall’s EV wagon mirrors Peugeot’s bones: Same 154 hp/54 kWh setup for 254 miles, but with a more subdued suit and 516-liter boot (1,553 max). Smooth ride, wireless CarPlay, and £32K entry make it a fleet favorite. It’s the Astra that trades flair for fuss-free miles – understated winner for daily drudgery.

BMW i5 Touring: The 5 Series EV Wagon You’ve Been Craving

BMW’s i5 Touring stretches luxury: eDrive40 RWD (335 hp, 348 miles from 81 kWh) or M60 AWD (593 hp, 3.9s 0-62, 314 miles). 570/1,700-liter boot, curved glass dash, and £70K start – with adaptive cruise and Bowers & Wilkins audio. It’s the electric 5er wagon that hauls like a van, corners like a 3er.

Audi A6 e-tron Avant: Quattro Grip in Estate Form

Audi’s PPE-platform wagon debuts with 543 hp S6 Avant (3.9s 0-62), but base e-tron Avant hits 100 kWh/434 miles. Virtual cockpit, 565-liter boot, and 270 kW charging – £65K entry. Cancelled RS6 e-tron? Sad, but this Avant’s the Quattro estate blending speed and space seamlessly.

Volkswagen ID.7 Tourer: Spacious EV for the Miles

VW’s ID.7 wagon adds 72 liters to the sedan’s boot (605 total, 1,948 folded) with Pro S (286 hp, 383 miles) or GTX AWD (335 hp, 5.5s 0-62). 175 kW charging, 11 kW AC – £45K start. It’s the practical EV that prioritizes range over razzle, perfect for autobahn warriors.

 

Mercedes-Benz CLA Shooting Brake: Electric Elegance in Shooting Form

Merc’s first EV “estate” (technically a shooter) packs 85 kWh/473 miles in RWD 250+ (268 hp) or 454 miles AWD 350+ (439 hp). 455/1,290-liter boot, MBUX hyperscreen – £50K entry. It’s the CLA that stretches luxury long, with optional AWD for all-weather poise.

 

Subaru E-Outback: Trailblazing EV with Symmetrical AWD

Subaru’s in-house EV swaps SUV bulk for wagon utility: 375 hp dual-motor AWD, 279 miles from 74.7 kWh, 210mm clearance, and 3,500-lb tow. £50K est. 2026 arrival – the E-Outback’s the Subaru faithful’s EV dream, rugged without the thirst.

 

Skoda Octavia Vision O Concept: Czech Preview of Electric Wagon Glory

Skoda’s 2025 Munich tease: Modern Solid lines, tech-loop grille, 1.2m dash screen – 2028 production eyed. 81 kWh/373 miles, 550-liter boot. £35K projected – the Octavia EV that’s value-packed, spacious, and set to steal sales from pricier peers.
