Best Motability estate cars of 2024

Motability is a charity that gives people in receipt of certain disability benefits the option of using a portion of their benefits to secure a new car. Cars provided by the Motability scheme are leased for three years (five if you need a Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle), and can be provided to the person in receipt of disability benefits, or a nominated person who will be using the car for their benefit. Our in-depth guide to Motability has more details.

There is a huge selection of cars available through Motability, but while hatchbacks and SUVs abound, estate cars are a fair bit thinner on the ground. That's not to say these practical cars can't be had through the scheme, but while we would normally include 10 models in rundowns like this, when it comes to estate cars available through Motability, there are currently just seven options for you, which we will detail here.

Dacia Jogger

1. Dacia Jogger

9/10
Dacia Jogger review

What's good

  • Excellent space and practicality
  • Comfortable ride and cabin
  • Easy to drive and park

What’s not so good

  • Material quality isn’t the best
  • No flat floor when removing seats
  • Petrol is slow with seven on-board
We were so impressed with the Jogger when we reviewed it that we gave it a coveted 9/10 score, a mark few cars achieve when we put them through their paces. Key to the Jogger's appeal is its exceptional value, but it's more than just an affordable car: comfortable, relaxing to drive and surprisingly nice insisde given its price point, the Jogger has an ace up its sleeve in the two extra seats that are found in its vast estate boot, making this the best-value seven seater (and the best-value estate car) on the market.

What's good

  • Excellent space and practicality
  • Comfortable ride and cabin
  • Easy to drive and park

What’s not so good

Volkswagen Golf Estate

8/10
Volkswagen Golf Estate review

What's good

  • Excellent build quality
  • Big boot
  • Lots of standard equipment

What’s not so good

  • Alternatives are more exciting to look at
  • Can be quite expensive
  • Pricey automatic gearbox
The VW Golf Estate takes rather a different approach from the Jogger, offering a high-end interior, sleek looks, a truly refined driving experience, and lots of tech - not to mention the desireable VW badge. So while it's fair to say you have to pay a fair premium for all that compared to the Jogger (which has a starting price that's about £10k under the Golf's), the Volkswagen is a timeless icon, with added practicality in Estate guise.

What's good

  • Excellent build quality
  • Big boot
  • Lots of standard equipment

What’s not so good

  • Alternatives are more exciting to look at

Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer

3. Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer

8/10
Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer review
Battery range up to 35 miles

What's good

  • Cool design
  • Well-shaped boot
  • Great for motorway cruising

What’s not so good

  • Driver’s display has limited customisation
  • PHEV has reduced boot space
  • Not a very colourful interior
The latest Vauxhall Astra is arguably the most stylish iteration of the model ever to be launched, and adding an estate boot does little to alter its winning aesthetics. And while the interior is a little more sensible and less expressive than the bodywork, the Astra Sports Tourer is a comfortable and refined car, with a huge 597-litre boot making it a seriously practical machine, too.

What's good

  • Cool design
  • Well-shaped boot
  • Great for motorway cruising

What’s not so good

  • Driver’s display has limited customisation
  • PHEV has reduced boot space
  • Not a very colourful interior

Volkswagen Passat Estate (2015-2023)

4. Volkswagen Passat Estate

8/10
Volkswagen Passat Estate (2015-2023) review

What's good

  • Comfortable suspension on all roads
  • High quality fit-and-finish inside
  • Humungous boot

What’s not so good

  • Alternatives are more fun to drive
  • Some rivals are cheaper to buy, too
  • Powerful petrol models are thirsty
Essentiallty working on a similar principle to the Golf Estate only on a larger scale, the Passat Estate offers an even higher quality interior, even greater levels of refinement on a cruise, while its vast 650-litre cargo space is about 10% up on the Golf Estate's. Sure, the Passat is more of a motorway-mile-muncher than a thrill-a-minute b-road-blaster, but if you're after a mature and luxurious estate car, it's hard to beat.

What's good

  • Comfortable suspension on all roads
  • High quality fit-and-finish inside
  • Humungous boot

What’s not so good

  • Alternatives are more fun to drive
  • Some rivals are cheaper to buy, too
  • Powerful petrol models are thirsty
Toyota Corolla Touring Sports

5. Toyota Corolla Touring Sports

8/10
Toyota Corolla Touring Sports review

What's good

  • Impressive fuel economy
  • Lots of tech as standard
  • Effortless to drive

What’s not so good

  • Forgettable styling
  • Alternatives have bigger boots
  • High starting price
As with the Astra, the 'Sports' here may perhaps be overseeling the driving experience a little, but the hybrid Corolla Touring Sports is an efficient, well made and practical car, with great visibility and a well-shaped 598-litre boot. It also comes with a lot of tech included as standard, with adaptive cruise control and a 10.5-inch infotainment screen. The 1.8-litre petrol-electric hybrid is a little cheaper than the more powerful 2.0-litre hybrid, but you're unlikely to feel hard done by if you go for the smaller engine.

What's good

  • Impressive fuel economy
  • Lots of tech as standard
  • Effortless to drive

What’s not so good

  • Forgettable styling
  • Alternatives have bigger boots
  • High starting price
Peugeot 308 SW

6. Peugeot 308 SW

8/10
Peugeot 308 SW review
Battery range up to 35 miles

What's good

  • Good all-round visibility
  • Comfortable on a long drive
  • Smart design

What’s not so good

  • Can be juddery at slow speeds
  • Cameras aren’t very good
  • Rear passenger space isn’t the best
The Peugeot 308 SW (short for sports wagon, or possibly station wagon) is, underneath, the same car as the Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer, but wrapped in Peugeot bodywork, and with the French firm's 'iCockpit' dashboard, which comprises a small steering wheel over which you look to view the digital dashboard dials. As with the Astra, the 308 SW is a comfortable and assured car on the road, and which you go for should largely be determined by which you like the looks of more, and which you can get a better deal with through carwow.

What's good

  • Good all-round visibility
  • Comfortable on a long drive
  • Smart design

What’s not so good

  • Can be juddery at slow speeds
  • Cameras aren’t very good
  • Rear passenger space isn’t the best
Ford Focus Estate

7. Ford Focus Estate

7/10
Ford Focus Estate review

What's good

  • Great driving experience
  • Roomy cabin
  • Long equipment list

What’s not so good

  • Alternatives have bigger boots
  • Average automatic gearbox
  • Inconsistent interior quality
While it sells in far greater numbers as a hatchback, the Ford Focus Estate makes a compelling case for itself if you need a little more practicality. With a fantastic driving experience, strong levels of standard equipment, a spacious cabin and a 608-litre boot, the Focus should tick a lot of boxes for a lot buyers, with only a slightly dated cabin design letting it down.

What's good

  • Great driving experience
  • Roomy cabin
  • Long equipment list

What’s not so good

  • Alternatives have bigger boots
  • Average automatic gearbox
  • Inconsistent interior quality

Advice about Motability cars

Motability estate cars FAQs

With a starting price of just over £17,000, that honour goes to the Dacia Jogger, which can be had through Motability with an advanced payment of £1,295 (as of March 23).

With 700 litres of space if you fold up the rearmost seats, the Dacia Jogger also takes the crown here, hotly followed by the VW Passat Estate, at 650 litres.

In much the same was as you would any other Motability car, by contacting a main dealer directly (carwow doesn't currently offer Motability cars), and letting them take care of the process.
