An estate car is a body style variant of vehicle, usually taking the form of a saloon or hatchback with an extended roof and rear.
Estate cars have become increasingly popular with British motorists thanks to their spacious interior, extended cargo capacity and enhanced versatility over other popular vehicle body types in the UK, like the saloon or hatchback.
They are especially popular with dog owners, road trippers, growing families or just those looking for additional space for the day-to-day.
You'll find a variety of fuel types to choose from, so you can choose the best option for your lifestyle. For example, those with fuel efficiency in mind should opt for hybrid estate cars for excellent MPG. Or future proof yourself by choosing from our selection of electric estate cars from your favourite manufacturers like Vauxhall and MG.
We also have plenty of performance estate cars for those who want the extra space but don't want to sacrifice on speed. Some great contenders here include the BMW 3 Series Touring M Sport and the Audi Avant RS6 Estate.
There are a multitude of benefits when it comes to buying second-hand estate cars. The main ones for motorists tend to be superior practicality, versatility and accessibility over other vehicle body types available.
The added practicality to daily life when purchasing an estate car is abundant. Firstly, you'll have additional and often extendable cargo space in the rear, which means more room for road trip luggage and sports equipment for the active adventurers!
It also means more space in general for your most precious cargo on the day-to-day, whether that be to get the weekly shop or to head out on your daily commute. Used estate cars are especially popular with dog owners as the extended rear gives a safe and secure space for pampered pooches to travel in, too.
Estate cars are also incredibly versatile in their set up. Take the Dacia Jogger, for example, removeable, lightweight rear seats allow this adaptable estate car to seat seven comfortably.
The removable part is what we love, allowing you to make use of the cargo space when you only need five seats in use. Due to the back seats' lightweight, it's also really easy to take them out to reveal a completely flat luggage load surface for any larger cargo you may have.
Estate cars are a great option for some Motability customers, too. This is largely due to their lower to the ground, extendable load capacity and flat loading surface. All of which is especially useful and adaptable when transporting mobility aids or any other long equipment that smaller cars may be unable to fit.
We have an unmatched selection of second-hand estate cars in stock which you can click and collect to a dealership near you. We have dealerships across the UK, from Inverness to Southampton, so we're never far away either if you want to visit us at a showroom!
We also have used estate cars on finance to suit your monthly budget, use our deal builder tool to build the perfect deal online.
Another reason to buy estate cars for sale from Arnold Clark is to take advantage of part-exchange. If you have a car but are ready for something bigger, cover some of the costs of your next estate car with the money made from your old one when you sell it to us.
The word 'estate' in an automotive context is used to refer to a vehicle body type with an extended rear, designed to accommodate additional cargo. The actual word 'estate' means a sizeable area of land and that's why it is used to describe the estate body type in an automotive context.
Although electric estate cars only arrived in the UK in 2020, with the introduction of the MG5 EV estate, there are now a few different options when it comes to purchasing EV estate cars in the UK.
We have plenty of stock of used electric estate cars including the MG5, Vauxhall Astra, Mercedes-Benz EQE, Peugeot 308 and more for you to choose from.
Ultimately, vehicle insurance costs depend on which estate you choose and so many other external factors like driver's age, gender, location and driving history. For accuracy, the best thing to do is get a quote from an insurance provider.
