Station wagons are ideal vehicles when it comes to practicality. The key feature is the ability to transform the rear of the body by folding down all but the first row of seats. The station wagons have a large hatchback-style trunk door that opens wide and a large flat cargo area.

This means they are perfect for transporting bulky luggage. Autoexpress experts have published a rating of the best used station wagons.

Skoda Octavia

This wagon is well-equipped, roomy, and dynamic, and comes in a wide range that includes a 4WD Scout option as well as a vRS version. If you're looking for a car with a focus on fuel economy, that's not a problem, while the range of trims extends from the relatively spartan entry-level S to the extremely luxurious Laurin & Klement.

The Mk3 Octavia was sold from 2013 to 2020 with 1.0 TSI, 1.2 TSI, 1.4 TSI, and 1.5 TSI petrol engines or 1.6 and 2.0 TDI diesel engines. The VRS is available with 2-liter turbocharged gasoline or diesel units. Even the most basic 1.0 TSI is lively enough, but the larger engines offer a great combination of performance and economy. Skoda knows how to make the most of the available cabin and boot space, so rear-seat passengers have plenty of head and legroom, and the boot can hold 1,740 liters with the seats folded down

Subaru Outback

Subaru has a fairly low profile in the UK market but produces some of the most reliable, well-equipped cars. The fifth generation Outback was introduced in 2014 with 2 or 2.5 diesel engines and gasoline engines – mostly passenger cars and all-wheel drive.

Volkswagen Passat

Launched in 2015, the Volkswagen Passat offers a level of build quality, refinement, and user-friendly ergonomics that is rarely matched by its competitors. As a result, there is a large supply of used models with gasoline, diesel, or hybrid powertrains.

Hyundai i40

When it comes to style and space on a tight budget, the i40 Tourer even exceeds expectations. The car has a stylish and high-quality interior and a useful 553-liter trunk. It's not as attractive to drive as some competitors, but it promises to be a comfortable, reliable, and cheap choice.

Citroen C5

The history of Citroen's spacious station wagons came to an end when the C5 was launched in 2018. However, it's still a stylish wagon and a great choice on the aftermarket. Choose the flagship model and you'll even get a hydropneumatic suspension with self-leveling. This ensures that the vehicle is level regardless of the load.

Skoda Superb

The large Skoda boasts one of the largest trunks on the market – as much as 660 liters. If that's not enough, quickly fold down the rear seats and you have a 1950-liter van at your disposal.

BMW 3 Series Touring

If you want a family car that is practical yet great to drive, the BMW 3 Series Touring is the perfect choice. With a 495-liter boot that expands to 1,500 liters, it's far from the roomiest car out there, but it's by far the best to drive. The 3 Series has a number of powerful but economical engines – the 320d is the best – and a fantastic chassis that is pleasant and comfortable even on bumpy country roads.
