Estate Car (Station Wagon)
An estate car is a car with an extended roof line over a large luggage area and a tall tailgate, built for maximum load space.
What is Estate Car (Station Wagon)?
It is often based on a saloon or hatchback of the same model. Roof rails and a long, flat floor make it practical for families and trades. Estates usually have more space than a comparable SUV with a lower fuel use. Some brands use names such as Touring, Avant or Sportswagon for their estates.
How it works
The roof continues to the rear, creating a box-shaped luggage area behind the rear seats.
Why it matters for your car
Longer bodies need more space for parking. Respect the maximum payload and secure heavy loads.
