About the VW Tiguan 2024 boot

The Tiguan gives you a wide, fold-friendly boot. The opening is 42⅞″ across and 29⅛″ tall, one of the wider tailgate openings in this class. Seats up, the floor runs 34⅝″ deep, enough for cases and boxes but not long panels. Fold the rear bench and it opens to 67¾″, a gain of 33⅛″, so the boot doubles as a load bay for flat-pack. The narrowest floor width is 39¾″, and there is only a ⅜″ drop from the sill to the floor, so loading stays flat. Tall items suit it better than very long ones unless you fold.

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.
