Mazda 6 Estate

The Mazda 6 Estate marries elegant, flowing design with everyday practicality, so you get a grown-up wagon that still looks the part on a weekend escape. It rewards drivers with poised handling and a nicely finished cabin, proving that sensible family cars can be engaging — and a little bit cheeky — too.

Mercedes G Class

The G-Class, often called the G‑Wagen, is a blocky icon that blends unapologetic off-road prowess with a plush, modern cabin, announcing your arrival before you even step out. It’s equally at home crawling over rocks or cruising city streets, and owning one feels like adopting a very expensive, very capable personality.
