Estate cars with the biggest boots of 2024
If you’re buying an estate then this is probably the main reason — boot space. After all, what good is an estate if it’s not practical? Here, then, are the best estate cars with big boots…

The Skoda Superb’s 660-litre boot isn’t just massive, it’s also clever. There’s an adjustable boot floor, space underneath to stash the luggage cover, bag hooks, a removable torch, and plenty more besides. There’s a nice low loading lip too. If only the back seats folded fully flat, it would be perfect.

The Mercedes E-Class’ huge 640-litre boot is also plush, and there are nice touches such as a luggage cover that automatically lifts up when you open the rear hatch. You can’t stash that cover under the floor, sadly, but the rear seats do fold fully flat.

The Skoda Octavia not only packs more loadspace than any other alternative for similar money (640 litres), it’s also rather more clever. Spec it with the optional adjustable boot floor and you not only get a flat load floor, and extra space underneath, you even get a full-size spare wheel. The rear seats don’t fold 100 per cent flat, which is a shame.

Yet another roomy estate that lacks seats that fold properly flat, but we’ll forgive the Focus because it’s so good to drive, and because its 608-litre boot is still impressively large for a car of this size.

The Corolla Touring Sports’ 598-litre boot falls just a few litres short of alternatives such as the Ford Focus and Kia Ceed, but it’s still massively roomy, and — yes — the rear seats fold properly flat. You can also get it with an optional pack that includes a waterproof boot liner that’s perfect for dog owners.

The BMW 5 Series Touring not only looks fantastic and is fun to drive, its 570-litre boot is a perfectly decent load space, and expands to 1,700-litres if you fold down the back seats. Just bear in mind that the space shrinks to a mere 430-litres if you get a plug-in hybrid version.

The handsome Audi A6 Avant’s 565-litre boot is a little less commodious than the BMW 5 Series (and much smaller inside than the Merc E-Class) but it’s still pretty practical, and you get a useful load space divider system as standard.

The Citroen C5 X does get a decent 545-litre boot, but the rear seats only split-fold in 60:40 ratio, rather than the more useful 40:20:40 of the closely-related C5 Aircross SUV. You do get a ski-hatch, though, which makes it easier to load longer, thinner items and still allow two people to sit in the back.

The Volvo V60 might be an extremely handsome car, but its 529-litre boot isn’t as large as some alternatives’. On the upside, there’s a useful net partition that makes it safer to carry heavy items or pets, and the rear seats do fold properly flat.

With 500 litres of space to play with, the BMW 3 Touring doesn’t have the biggest boot in its class, but it might just be the classiest. It has plenty of clever features, our favourite being the fact that the rear window hatch can be opened separately to the tailgate for quick, easy access to the boot.
