ESTATE CARS
Estate cars, also known as station wagons, are versatile cars that are designed with an extended rear cargo/ boot area and additional passenger space. They combine the practicality of a larger boot space with the driving experience and handling of a sedan. Estate cars feature a lower center of gravity compared to SUVs which can enhance driving dynamics.
Estate cars are popular due to their enhanced functionality and style, making them a good choice for families, outdoor enthusiasts, and those who simply need more space without moving to a SUV or van. The extended rear section provides ample space for luggage, groceries, sports equipment, or other loads.

These vehicles are also front-wheel drives (FWD) which gives increased fuel-efficiency since FWD vehicles have their engines and drivetrain located at the front, which reduces the overall weight of the vehicle contributing to better fuel economy. The FWD also gives more interior space and better transaction on the front wheels for everyday conditions.
