An estate is a body style of car that extends the roofline backward to enclose the cargo area, creating a large, continuous interior space. It features a rear hatch or tailgate instead of a trunk lid. The design prioritizes cargo capacity and practicality while maintaining the driving dynamics of a standard passenger sedan.
