Believe it or not, owning an Estate rather than a medium-sized crossover or a large SUV can be considered out of the ordinary nowadays.
It’s all because of the crossover movement, which is putting more and more families inside vehicles that can also go off-road occasionally, although they rarely ever do.
Still, if you like wagons, and premium brands such as Mercedes, BMW and Volvo are on your radar, the E-Class Estate, 5-Series Touring and V90 should all register as well.
Of course, which one you should buy depends on several crucial factors, which include practicality, equipment levels, looks, pricing, driving characteristics and quality, all of which were examined thoroughly by Carwow’s Mat Watson over the course of this comparison test.
By the way, if you think the Volvo V90 doesn’t quite belong with its two ultra-modern rivals because of its badge, rest assured that’s not the case. In fact, Watson states that while the V90 doesn’t handle quite as sharp as the other two, the difference remains negligible.
