Are there any fully electric estate cars?

I have a Mercedes E-Class estate which has been brilliant so far. It’s got about 100,000 miles on the clock and down the line I’d like to replace it with a fully electric version. However, I can’t seem to find any fully electric estate cars being made, much less E-Class estates. They mostly seem to be SUVs. Do you know whether there are any in the pipeline? I’d have thought there would be a market for them. The flat load area and cavernous capacity of mine is just perfect and it’s also a supremely comfortable tow car.

There are very few electric estate cars on sale at the moment as manufacturers are concentrating on the lucrative SUV market. At the budget end of the market sits the MG 5 EV – we rate it very highly, but your expectations might be a little higher after your E-Class. At the opposite end of the spectrum is the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo. It's a brilliant GT car, albeit one with a starting price of more than £75,000.
