About the Citroen C5 Aircross 2021 boot

The C5 Aircross gives you a wide, square loading mouth: 41″ across and 30¾″ tall, with a floor that is actually wider than the opening at 41¾″ between the arches. Seats up you get 38¼″ of length; folding them stretches that to 67¾″, a gain of 29½″. The catch is the sill, which sits 29⅛″ off the ground, though the floor drops only 1⅝″ behind it, so boxes slide in level rather than falling in. Wide flat packs do well here; very long ones run out of floor before they run out of mouth. Lift heavy boxes to sill height first, rest them, then push.

About the KALLAX Shelf unit, white, 43 7/8x57 5/8 " package

The KALLAX shelf unit arrives as two packages, and the larger one measures 56½″ long, 16″ wide and 5″ thick. That length is what decides the car. The whole order weighs 95 lb 3 oz, so it is a two-person lift even though the boxes look thin. Flat-pack board has no give, so you cannot bend it around a wheel arch or a seat back. An estate or an SUV with the rear bench down handles it comfortably. Load the long box first, on its edge and angled towards the far corner, then slide the second one alongside.
