What is an estate car?

Also known as a “station wagon”, an estate car is characterised by its stand-out feature – an extended rear section. These vehicles provide a large boot space without sacrificing passenger seating, balancing a hatchback’s handling and an SUV’s storage abilities. They are a go-to choice for drivers seeking a spacious, practical car that’s easy to manoeuvre.

Families, pet owners, and those with active lifestyles particularly benefit from the extra boot room for transporting everything from prams to outdoor gear.

Estate cars typically come with folding rear seats, allowing drivers to adjust the layout according to their needs. Many models feature a flat load floor and a low loading height, making it easy to load bulky or heavy items into the boot.

Though beneficial, frequent usage of boot space can lead to wear and tear over time, particularly when unloading and loading heavy duty items. Consider a tailored boot liner that will protect this area from unwanted damage and keep your estate car boot looking pristine.

What are the most popular Ford estate car models?

With so many different car manufacturers, it can be difficult to know which estate model is most suitable for your lifestyle. Ford has produced some of the most popular estate cars known for their practicality, reliability, and comfort.

Here’s our top picks for Ford’s best estate models, and how a boot liner protector can be beneficial:

1) Ford Focus Estate

The Ford Focus Estate is a practical, stylish choice that doesn’t overwhelm with size but offers ample boot space. It has a boot capacity of 608 litres, expanding to an impressive 1653 litres with the rear seats folded flat.

Best for: Ideal for small families, professionals or active individuals who require space for sporting equipment.

Given the frequent use of this car's boot space, protecting it with a tailored boot liner is highly recommended. A fitted liner will preserve the boot’s upholstery from potential wear and tear due to heavy loads or frequent use.

Hatchbag’s tailored boot liners are custom-made for the Focus Estate, ensuring a perfect fit that helps prevent dirt, spills, or pet hair from damaging the vehicle’s interior.

Shop our Ford Focus Estate boot liner for a perfect fit.

2) Ford Mondeo Estate

The Ford Mondeo Estate is one of the most popular choices in Ford's lineup, especially for those prioritising a spacious interior with advanced comfort features. This larger estate model is ideal for long journeys, offering a roomy cabin and a substantial boot for family trips, business travel, or sporting activities.

Best for: Ideal for larger families, frequent travellers, and professionals who need both ample boot space and comfort.

The large boot area in the Mondeo Estate benefits immensely from a tailored boot liner, as it protects the car’s interior from potential scuffs, spills, and damage from shifting items. Hatchbag offers liners specifically designed for the Mondeo’s layout, ensuring all areas of the boot are covered and protected.

Consider our Rear Plus boot liner alongside the optional boot liner extension to further enhance protection to the Mondeo Estate’s rear and front seats.

3) Ford Puma

Though not strictly an estate car, the Ford Puma is a perfect alternative for those looking for the functionality of an estate in a compact SUV body.

Best for: Ideal for urban drivers and those with an active lifestyle who may need extra boot space without requiring a full-sized estate.

For the Puma’s distinctive boot layout, a tailored boot liner ensures maximum protection for the primary boot and the MegaBox, which are both vulnerable to spills and scratches. A fitted boot liner from Hatchbag will cover the entire boot floor and protect the interior from dirt and damage.

Protecting your Ford estate with a boot liner

Protecting the boot area is essential for preserving the look and functionality of an estate car. Ford provides its own boot liners, designed with official branding, which can be beneficial and often come with new vehicle purchases.

For estate cars, which have larger, often rectangular boot spaces, a tailored liner is highly recommended. Every Hatchbag boot liner is crafted to fit each car model perfectly, covering every corner of the boot and ensuring no gaps where dirt or spills exist.
