About the Volvo XC40 2023 boot
The XC40 boot is an upright, square space rather than a long one. Seats up, you get 35⅞″ of floor behind a 41¾″ wide by 28¾″ tall opening, so wide boxes slide in but long ones stall. Its best trait is the fold: drop the rear bench and the floor stretches to 66⅛″, a gain of 30⅜″. The floor narrows to 39¾″ at its narrowest, so tall flat boxes suit it better than very wide loads. The sill sits at 29½″ with no drop to the floor, so you push loads straight in at sill height instead of lifting over a lip.
About the FRIHETEN Sleeper sofa, Skiftebo dark gray package
The FRIHETEN sleeper sofa is the big one: two packages, and the larger box measures 81¼″ by 36″ by 14½″, with the set weighing 225 lb 15 oz. That is nearly seven feet of solid, dense box, so both the length and the weight work against you, and you will not lift it alone. The main package needs a long, flat load bay, which realistically means a van or a large SUV with the seats down, not a normal car boot. Bring a second person and moving straps. Load the long box first, flat and pushed fully forward, then the smaller one beside it so nothing shifts on the drive.
