Electric estate cars: all 100% electric models available in 2026
For a long time, choosing an estate car meant choosing diesel. Those days are over: the segment is going electric, even if it remains narrower than the SUV segment. The pioneer, the MG5, left the new car catalogue in 2024, but the range has grown both upmarket and down. A complete overview of the 100% electric estate cars available in 2026, from the most accessible to the Stuttgart sportscar, with range, boot space and price for each.
Are there really 100% electric estate cars?
Yes, and more and more of them. Long the poor relation of the electric segment, the estate is making a strong comeback: there are now around ten 100% electric models available new in Europe, from the compact family car to the large luxury tourer, alongside the MG5, the pioneer of the genre, now reserved for the used market. All offer a load volume that no SUV of comparable size can match, often with lower consumption, thanks to a more aerodynamic profile.
All the electric estate cars available in 2026
Opel Astra Sports Tourer Electric, the most accessible
The entry point of the segment. 156 hp motor, 58 kWh battery, 454 km WLTP, boot from 516 to 1,553 litres. The V2L function allows an external device to be powered, and fast charging reaches 100 kW. Understated and well-bred; its range makes it best suited to urban and suburban use.
Peugeot e-308 SW, the European family estate
58.4 kWh battery, 444 km WLTP, boot from 505 to 1,402 litres, and one of the most refined interiors in the category with the i-Cockpit. Charges at 100 kW. A little more expensive than the Opel for a similar range, but it gains in style and finish.
Volkswagen ID.7 Tourer, the long-distance cruiser
The Pro S long-range version claims up to 702 km WLTP, among the best on the market, with a colossal boot of 605 to 1,714 litres. The reference choice for high-mileage drivers, as long as you're prepared to accept a footprint of nearly five metres.
BMW i5 Touring, the premium pleasure estate
The estate version of the electric 5 Series. The eDrive40 develops 340 hp for up to 560 km WLTP, with a boot from 570 to 1,700 litres. Top-tier chassis, finish and running refinement. A weight of over 2.3 tonnes that makes itself felt in tight sequences.
Mercedes CLA Shooting Brake, the tech-premium estate
The first Mercedes estate born on an electric platform. 85 kWh battery and 800-volt architecture: up to 761 km WLTP on the entry-level 250+ version (the 350 4MATIC tops out at 730 km), and fast charging at 320 kW that takes the battery from 10 to 80% in around 18 minutes. Boot of 455 litres, plus a front boot. On paper, the best range-charging combination of the bunch.
Audi A6 Avant e-tron, the premium long-distance traveller
Up to 575 km WLTP, and even 732 km in the Performance version. Ultra-fast charging at 270 kW, recovering 80% in under thirty minutes. Boot of 502 litres. The flagship long-distance cruiser, built for the motorway, as long as you're prepared for a steep entry price.
Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo, the sports estate
The estate for enthusiasts. Up to 651 km WLTP, 800-volt architecture and sportscar performance. Boot of 446 litres, plus a front boot. The price climbs quickly with the 4S and Turbo versions, but this is an estate that drives like a Porsche, because it is one.
Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo, the premium adventurer
The raised variant of the Sport Turismo. Higher ground clearance, adventure-estate looks, up to 500 km WLTP and a boot from 405 to 1,171 litres. More versatile on poor surfaces, but less enduring, and just as expensive once the options are ticked.
Denza Z9 GT, the Chinese luxury shooting brake
The surprise of the segment comes from China. The Denza Z9 GT, a model from BYD's premium brand launched in Europe in 2026, takes the form of a large 5.18 m shooting brake. In 100% electric form, it lines up 1,156 hp and around 600 km WLTP, with ultra-fast high-voltage charging. More grand luxury tourer than practical estate, and a brand still to be discovered in Europe. Note: it is also available as a plug-in hybrid.
MG5, the pioneer, now available used
This is the car that democratised the electric estate, in 2022. The MG5 has not been produced since 2024 and is now only available used, but remains very well represented there at attractive prices. Expect a battery of around 61 kWh, over 400 km WLTP, a boot of 479 litres and fast charging up to 87 kW. For a tight budget that wants a real electric estate, this is the bargain to watch, provided you check the battery condition.

Real-world range: what these estates are worth on the motorway
WLTP figures are measured under favourable conditions. On the motorway at high speed, expect 20 to 30% less, and more in very cold weather. In practice, an ID.7 Tourer Pro S quoted at 702 km will manage around 470 to 500 km real-world range at a steady pace, while an Astra Sports Tourer or e-308 SW will sit between 300 and 330 km. Nothing deal-breaking: on a long journey, the goal is not to do it all in one go, but to charge quickly and in the right place. A large battery that recovers 80% in twenty-five minutes makes the road as easy as a traditional fuel stop extended by a coffee.
Estate or electric SUV: which to choose?
At the same size, the estate holds two advantages over the SUV. First, aerodynamics: its lower profile creates less air resistance, which translates into more measured consumption at a steady speed, and therefore better real-world range on the motorway. Then there's the usable volume: an estate boot is longer and easier to load than an equivalent SUV boot. The SUV retains the advantage of ground clearance and a higher driving position. If you drive a lot and load frequently, the estate comes back out ahead.
Long-distance travel in an electric estate: charging on longer trips
With batteries from 58 to over 100 kWh, these estates have no fear of long distances, provided you manage charging well. On a typical 500 km journey, two stops are enough for most models, just long enough for a coffee. That is where fast charging makes all the difference. At Electra fast charging stations, charging points deliver up to 400 kW, and charging starts automatically thanks to Autocharge, without a badge or app. To bring the cost down, two subscription plans:
Electra+ Essential: €1.99/month with no commitment, €0.10/kWh discount on every charge on the Electra network.
