About the Kia Sportage 2023 boot
The Sportage boot is wide and loads dead flat. The opening is 41⅜″ wide × 28¾″ tall, and the floor runs 35⅜″ with the seats up, reaching 66½″ folded, a gain of 31⅛″. At its narrowest the floor still measures 41″, so wide boxes go straight in without angling. The sill is 28⅜″ with a 0″ drop, so the floor sits level with the lip and items slide in without lifting. The opening is a touch low, so watch tall boxes through the gap. It is strong for wide and long loads, fold the seats for the longest flat-packs. Slide items along the flat floor rather than stacking high.
About the BILLY Bookcase, oak effect, 31 1/2x11x79 1/2 " package
The BILLY bookcase ships as one long, flat, heavy box: 81¼″ × 11¾″ × 5″ and 87 lb 5 oz. The length is the challenge, not the bulk. That long panel needs floor space most boots only find with the rear seats down. The flat-pack board is rigid, so it will not bend around a wheel arch or curl into a short boot. An estate, a hatchback with the seats folded, or an SUV handles it best. Slide it in long-edge first, low and flat, and protect the corners, because at this weight a dropped end can split the board.
