Update: ‘Polestar 4 SUV’, ‘Fang Cheng Bao Formula S GT,’ and ‘Denza Z9 GT’ updated.
The station wagon segment may be almost nonexistent in the United States, let alone an electric station wagon or electric estate car segment. However, in Europe, the UK, and China, this is still an important body style.
We’ve compiled a list of electric station wagon models that have just been introduced or are on the radar for the global market. Some of the existing options include the BMW i5 Touring, VW ID.7 Tourer, Audi A6 Avant e-tron, Nio ET5 Touring, Peugeot E-308 SW, and the Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo.
1. Buick Electra-LT
The Buick Electra-LT is a large electric shooting brake concept developed for China. It rides low to the ground, with a sleek and sporty silhouette, and should carry at least 75% of the design into production.
At the front, a concave lower fascia lends a shark-like impression, though the unusual headlamp design could divide opinion outside its home market.
Along the sides, minimal character lines, a straight belt line, frameless windows, and slim digital mirrors contribute to a clean look. A sharply sloping roofline and steep rear glass underscore the low stance, while a full-width taillamp infuses the rear fascia with a futuristic character.
Release Date: Expected by 2026; confirmation awaited
2. BMW i3 Touring
BMW has confirmed that it will produce the i3 Touring as the second derivative of the i3 at BMW Group Plant Munich.
Built on the Neue Klasse platform, the BMW i3 Touring will offer more space and a sleeker design than the 3 Series Touring. It should feature the Panoramic iDrive with a full-width head-up display, a central screen, and a steering wheel with ‘Shy Tech’ controls.
Likewise, the i3 Touring should capitalize on the new sixth-gen eDrive units and come in RWD and AWD variants. The new 800-volt system will support 400 kW charging, cutting the 10-80% charging time to about 20 minutes.
Release Date: Expected in mid-2027
Price: Expected to start from EUR 55,000 (USD 63,874)
3. Skoda Octavia Combi EV equivalent
Skoda previewed an Octavia Combi-style EV with the Vision O concept at the Munich Motor Show in September 2025.
The Octavia Combi EV will evolve Skoda’s Modern Solid design with a new “Tech-Loop” fascia, narrow T-shaped rear lights, aero wheels, a sloping roofline, an angled B-pillar, and a raked D-pillar for a streamlined recipe. The cabin is set to avoid excessive digitalization while sticking to the brand’s ‘Simply Clever’ philosophy.
The EV should match the Octavia Combi in size, but offer space and quality comparable to the Superb Combi. Riding on the Volkswagen Group’s SSP platform, it could also face delays as Skoda responds to slowing EV demand in Europe.
Release Date: Expected in 2028 (Europe)
Price: Estimated from EUR 35,000 (USD 40,647)
4. Lexus IS EV
In mid-December 2021, Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) teased over 15 electric vehicles, and Lexus also revealed a glimpse of its future models, including two electric estates.
According to a report Best Car Web published on July 17, 2023, the next-gen Lexus IS will be an EV-only model. The report says the IS EV will be available as a station wagon as well.
However, considering that the popularity of regular station wagons is declining, Lexus will take a different approach. Instead of a flat-roofed, boxy body, it may release a sleek shooting brake that scores on style and delivers a longer range.
We will develop next-generation BEVs for Lexus brand by 2026, with everything from the battery and platform to how a car is built optimized for BEVs.
Koji Sato, former President & CEO, Toyota Motor Corporation
Release Date: Expected by 2028 (Europe)
Price: USD 70,000 onwards (expected)
5. BMW M3 Touring Electric
Strong demand for the first-ever BMW M3 Touring has prompted BMW to prepare a pure-electric version. BimmerPost first reported that the BMW M3 Touring Electric carries the codename “BMW ZA1.”
During a November 2025 technical workshop, BMW engineers confirmed the electric M3 will use four independent motors, one per wheel, with no mechanical differentials. A physical clutch can decouple the front axle entirely, maintaining the rear-wheel-drive character M3s are popular for.
Output is reported in the 800-900 hp range, which would make it the most powerful M production car in history, with a 0-60 mph time potentially in the 2-second bracket. An 800-volt battery system will supply consistent high power for continuous racetrack driving.
Release Date: Expected in 2027
Price: Upwards of USD 100,000 (expected)
6. Denza Z9 GT
The Denza Z9 GT feels like a sumptuous station wagon, measuring 203.9 in. long, 78.3 in. wide, and 59.1 in. tall, with a wheelbase of 123 in. The exterior has a low front end, a sleek profile, and a tapered rear with a deployable spoiler.
The Z9 GT sports three motors, one at the front and two at the rear, producing a whopping 1,140 hp. It sprints from 0 to 62 mph in 2.7 seconds and hits a top speed of 168 mph. A 122.49 kWh LFP battery powers these motors and supports Flash Charging, reaching 10% to 70% SoC in five minutes and 10% to 97% SoC in nine minutes. It delivers a WLTP range of up to 372 miles.
Denza has launched the Z9 GT in the first markets in Europe and plans to expand its availability to more countries in the region.
Release Date: On Sale (Europe)
Price: EUR 144,500 (USD 167,815)
7. New BMW i5 Touring (facelift)
Although it was introduced in February 2024, spy shots hint that a mid-cycle update for the BMW i5 Touring isn’t far off.
The facelift should feature redesigned headlamp graphics, restyled bumpers, and new 19-inch alloy wheels. We expect features such as the BMW Panoramic Vision, a front passenger display, and front seats with a massage function inside.
BMW will likely upgrade the i5 Touring’s battery pack with the 4695 Gen6 cylindrical cells in a high-voltage battery system assembled by Rimac Technology in Croatia. The new cells offer significant improvements in energy density, charging speed, and range.
The new i5 Touring will likely support charging at up to 250 kW, 45 kW higher than the outgoing model. Customers could charge it from 10% to 80% in around 25 minutes, translating to savings of approximately 5 minutes. The WLTP range of the i5 Touring should increase from 374 miles to around 450 miles.
Release Date: Mid-2027 (Europe); confirmation awaited
Price: Expected to start from around EUR 74,000 (USD 85,940)
8. New Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer Electric (facelift)
The first-ever Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer Electric has received its mid-cycle refresh. The new electric wagon has a sharper and more upmarket exterior, with an illuminated brand logo and compass-inspired light strips at the front making it immediately recognizable.
Intelli-Lux HD headlamps, new 18-inch alloy wheels, and Intelli-Seats (front) are also among the noteworthy changes of the facelifted Astra Sports Tourer Electric. A larger, 58 kWh battery pack delivers a WLTP range of 275 miles, marking an improvement of around 19 miles.
Release Date: July 2026 (UK)
Price: GBP 29,995 (USD 40,541)
9. VW ID. Passat (facelift)
Following the ID.4 this year, the ID.7 and ID.7 Tourer should undergo a mid-life facelift toward the end of 2027. We won’t be surprised if the latter is renamed to VW ID. Passat Tourer/Estate.
And with the introduction of the urban BEV family from 2026 and the ID.7 from 2027 onwards, Volkswagen will benefit from a full segment coverage.
VW Group CFO and COO Arno Antlitz appeared to tease the new ID.7 while talking about new products at the Volkswagen Group Product & Tech Update on September 9, 2025
The updated EV should debut a more aggressive exterior inspired by the upcoming VW ID. Polo. Inside, we expect to see improved ergonomics with regular buttons and knobs on the steering wheel and switches for the climate control system.
Besides borrowing other MEB+ platform updates, Volkswagen may introduce a larger instrument cluster in the ID.7 with this update and switch to the new Android-based infotainment.
Release Date: 2027-28 (Europe); confirmation awaited
Price: Expected to start from around EUR 55,000 (USD 63,876)
10. Peugeot E-508 SW Electric
Peugeot previewed the next-generation version of, or the successor to, the 508 SW with the Concept 6 show car at Auto China 2026. Unlike the current midsize wagon, the future model should include a battery-electric variant.
At Stellantis’ Investor Day 2026, Peugeot CEO Alain Favey virtually confirmed plans to put the Concept 6 into production and hinted that the road-ready version will sit on a platform developed by Dongfeng.
Favey confirmed production plans for the Concept 6, which was labeled as a “new D-Shooting Brake based on Dongfeng platform” in his presentation slide.
At the top of the range, well, as part of our renewed partnership with Dongfeng, we will add a dynamic D-segment offer.
Alain Favey, CEO, Peugeot (Stellantis Investor Day 2026 on May 21, 2026)
Release Date: 2027-28 (Europe)
11. Fang Cheng Bao Formula S GT
At Auto China 2026, Fang Cheng Bao, one of BYD’s several car brands, announced a large electric shooting brake called the ‘Formula S GT.’ The long-roofed model features “Cheetah Eyes” headlights, a front splitter, wide wheel arches, a rear diffuser, and “Infinity Ring” taillights.
Inside, it features a floating central touchscreen, a compact digital instrument display, wireless phone charging and physical controls.
Measuring 5,025 mm long, the Formula S GT uses a 92.1 kWh LFP battery, as per CarNewsChina. The 300 kW RWD version offers 800–850 km of CLTC range, while the 490 kW AWD model manages 730 km. BYD claims a 10-97% charge takes 9 minutes.
Release Date: 2027 (Europe); confirmation awaited
Price: CNY 230,000 (USD 34,270)
12. Avatr 06T
Chinese automaker Changan plans to introduce the Avatr brand in Europe by 2027, Klaus Zyciora, its vice president and global head of design, told Reuters in December 2025. One of the first products of this premium brand in the region could be the 06T Wagon.
In China, Changan has introduced it in all-electric and extended-range electric variants. The former hits 0 to 62 mph in as little as 2.78 seconds and delivers a CLTC range of up to 460 miles, while the latter takes 4.47 seconds for a 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) sprint and has a CLTC range of 777 miles. Both can achieve a top speed of 149 mph.
Release Date: Mid-2027 (Europe); confirmation awaited
Price: Expected to start from around EUR 48,000 (approx. USD 55,747)
13. Polestar 4 SUV
With 2.5 cm (0.9-inch) extra headroom in the rear, a new and larger panoramic glass roof, and 0.1 cu. ft. to 4.6 cu. ft. more cargo volume, the Polestar 4 SUV offers more practicality. With a conventional back glass, it’s also easier to adapt to, especially for new and learning drivers, and make the cabin feel more open.
Packing up to 400 kW (536 hp) and up to 686 Nm (506 lb-ft) of torque, the Polestar 4 SUV hits 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in as quickly as 3.9 seconds and achieves a top speed of 200 km/h (124 mph). It has a 100 kWh NMC battery pack that gives it a WLTP range of up to 630 kilometers (391 miles).
