Despite the SUV signalling the end of an era for many now defunct body styles (MPVs and little sporty roadsters, we miss you), it appears that the estate car - or station wagon - could be having a comeback. Well, VW thinks so anyway.
The German marque has just lifted the lid on its latest ID.7 Tourer - a long-bodied station wagon that builds on its existing fastback saloon platform and bears all of the hallmarks of a classic estate with a twist of svelte shooting brake… albeit with electric underpinnings, rather than a dirty diesel or petrol engine lurking under the bonnet (or hood, y’all).
