What does YES mean?
YES means there is at least 2⅜″ to spare at the tightest point, in the best way the box can go in.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about how fit checks are computed, what the result states mean, and how to use the details on each page.
Quick definitions
What does MAYBE mean?
MAYBE means it fits on paper, but with less than 2⅜″ to spare, so trim, the parcel shelf or the loading angle can decide it. (Not missing data.)
What does NO mean?
NO means the box is bigger than the space at its tightest point, whichever way it goes in.
Data and accuracy
Where do item dimensions come from?
From IKEA "package details" (boxed dimensions). We use the largest package and also compute per-package results when there are multiple boxes.
Where do vehicle dimensions come from?
Each car's trunk opening and cargo-space measurements are kept in our own vehicle records. If a critical measurement is missing, we avoid publishing that vehicle page.
How do I report a wrong measurement?
Send the exact fit page URL to data@carfitcheck.com and include any reliable reference (manufacturer spec or measurement screenshot).
If you want to verify a vehicle yourself, read how to measure your trunk correctly before comparing your numbers to a fit page.
More questions
How do you decide YES, MAYBE, and NO?
Each package is checked against the boot opening and the load space in every way it can lie, including on its side and diagonally, and the best way counts. Its tightest gap decides the verdict, as defined above. The margins on a fit page are that real gap: the car's measurement minus the box's.
Is MAYBE caused by missing data?
Published fit pages are expected to have complete core dimensions. MAYBE means borderline fit, not unknown fit.
Are results generated at runtime?
Main fit pages are statically generated so key result text is available in HTML on first paint.
Do all packages fit together when result is YES?
Fit is evaluated per package. Individual package fit does not always guarantee stacked simultaneous loading.
Why can seats-up and seats-down results differ?
Cargo length and access geometry can differ by seat configuration, so each config is evaluated independently.
What is the limiting factor?
The limiting factor is the tightest measured constraint for the selected package/config, such as opening width or cargo height.
How should I use a MAYBE result?
Treat MAYBE as tight but possible. Use the suggested orientation and verify the tightest point in your car before loading.
What does confidence mean on the result page?
Confidence is a bounded score derived from fit margins and available dimensions, intended as a guidance signal rather than a guarantee.
Do you only cover IKEA products?
Current public catalog focuses on IKEA packaged items. The same model supports other packaged products when data is available.
How often is data updated?
Pipeline data can be refreshed as new sources are parsed and exported. Versioning tracks export and engine revisions.
