Update (June 3, 2026): ‘Peugeot E-508 SW Electric’ updated.
The station wagon segment may be nonexistent in the United States, let alone an electric station wagon or electric estate car segment.
The decline can be attributed to the emergence of minivans and SUVs in the 1980s, which promised more interior space and better-performing engines. However, in Europe, the UK, and China, the station wagon 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. 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 a futuristic twist to the rear fascia.
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 e-drive units, and come in RWD and AWD variants. The new 800V system will support 400 kW charging, cutting 10-80% charging time to about 20 minutes.
Release Date: Expected in mid-2027
Price: Expected to start from USD 55,000-65,000
3. Skoda Octavia Combi EV equivalent
Skoda previewed an Octavia Combi-style EV with a “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, 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: 2027-28 (Europe)
Price: Estimated from USD 37,000
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, President & CEO, Toyota Motor Corporation
Release Date: By 2028 (Europe)
Price: USD 70,000 onwards (expected)
5. Mercedes CLA Shooting Brake Electric
The CLA Electric Shooting Brake adds practicality with an extended roof and a cargo area that holds 16.1 cu. ft., expandable to 45.6 cu. ft. by folding the rear seats. With a towing capacity of 3,968 lbs., it can manage a jet ski or two motorcycles on a trailer with ease.
The 250+ has a rear motor with 268 hp and 247 lb.-ft., accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 6.8 seconds, and reaches 130 mph. The 350 4MATIC combines two motors for 349 hp and 380 lb.-ft., cuts 0 to 62 mph to 5.0 seconds, and maxes out at 130 mph.
The Mercedes CLA Shooting Brake Electric could be launched in the U.S. if enough customers express interest. “I’m ready to ship it,” former Mercedes-Benz Group CTO Markus Schäfer told Car and Driver at CES 2024, adding a condition that the decision depends on buyer interest.
Release Date: March 2026 (Europe)
Price: EUR 57,096 (approx. USD 66,500) in Germany
6. Zeekr 7GT
Zeekr has unveiled the 7GT, an electric shooting brake derived from the 007 sedan that we reviewed earlier. It features a flatter roofline, floating D-pillar design, and a raked rear windscreen for a sharp look. A longer panoramic sunroof enhances the sense of space, allowing plenty of light into the cabin.
Inside, it carries over a 13-inch instrument cluster, a 15-inch OLED touchscreen, and seats with 14-way adjustment, heating, ventilation, massage, and memory.
The 7GT provides 456 liters (16.1 cu. ft.) of cargo space, expandable to 1,390 liters (49.1 cu. ft.) by folding the rear seat, plus a 65-liter (2.3 cu. ft.) frunk. Zeekr offers the 7GT in a 416 hp/325 lb.-ft. single-motor RWD variant and a 637 hp/524 lb.-ft. dual-motor AWD variant.
Buyers can choose between 75 kWh LFP and 100 kWh NMC 800-volt battery packs. The former delivers a CLTC range of 404 miles in the single-motor RWD variant and 364 miles in the dual-motor AWD variant, while the latter delivers a CLTC range of 513 miles in the single-motor RWD variant and 454 miles in the dual-motor AWD variant.
Price: EUR 45,990 (approx. USD 53,500)
Release Date: July 1, 2026
7. 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 the first half of 2027
Price: Upwards of USD 100,000 (expected)
8. 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, sleek profile, and tapered rear with a deployable spoiler. Inside, it follows the tech-heavy theme we observe in many premium Chinese EVs.
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 over 373 miles.
Release Date: Spring 2026 (Europe)
Price: EUR 117,500 (approx. USD 136,500)
9. 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 facelifted BMW i5 Touring should feature redesigned headlamp graphics, restyled bumpers, and new 19-inch alloy wheels. More noticeable improvements are likely to be seen on the inside, with new features such as the BMW Panoramic Vision, a front passenger display, and massage front seats.
BMW will likely upgrade the i5 Touring’s battery pack with the 4695 version of its Gen6 cylindrical cells, which Rimac Technology assembles 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 (approx. USD 86,000)
10. New Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer Electric (facelift)
The first-ever Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer 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 445 km (277 miles), marking an improvement of 34 km (21 miles).
Release Date: July 2026 (UK)
Price: GBP 29,995 (approx. USD 40,500)
11. VW ID. Passat (facelift)
Following the ID.4 this year, the ID.7 and ID.7 Tourer should undergo a mid-life facelift towards 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 64,000)
12. Peugeot E-508 SW Electric
Peugeot previewed the next-gen 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)
13. 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 new long-roofed model features “Cheetah Eyes” headlights, a front splitter, wide wheel arches, a rear diffuser, and “Infinity Ring” taillights.
Details on the Fang Cheng Bao Formula S GT should be released closer to its launch, which could take place in 2027. BYD could introduce it in Europe, positioning it as a more affordable but still premium alternative to the Denza Z9 GT.
Release Date: 2027 (Europe); confirmation awaited
14. 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 56,000)
15. Polestar 4 Wagon
The Polestar 4 is a radical SUV-coupe designed without a rear windshield, but it will receive a wagon variant in Q4 2026. Polestar CEO Michael Lohscheller has confirmed plans to launch the upcoming electric wagon in the U.S.
Spy shots have revealed that the Polestar 4 Wagon will have a rear glass and, with the inherent advantage of its body style, offer more cargo space. It adopts the slightly raised stance, a tapered fastback roofline, and fuller body surfaces that give it a crossover-leaning silhouette. These cues could broaden its appeal beyond traditional wagon markets, including the U.S.
Release Date: 2026
Price: Expected to start from around USD 58,000
