About the Citroen C3 2023 boot
The C3's boot asks for a high lift. The loading sill is 78 cm high, and once a box is over it, the floor sits another 23 cm lower. Above the sill, the opening gives you 88 cm of width and 56 cm of clear height, even though the boot is 79 cm tall from its floor, so a tall box has to go in on its side. Leave the rear seats up and the floor is 67 cm long, fine for small boxes. Folded, the seats add 69 cm, which gives 136 cm for longer flat packs. With a heavy box, get a second pair of hands: one to lift it over the sill, one to guide it down.
About the BILLY Bookcase, oak effect, 40x28x202 cm package
The oak effect BILLY in this size packs into one long, flat box: 207 cm × 39 cm × 7 cm, weighing 26.15 kg. At 7 cm thick it is slim for its length, and the length is the real trouble. Lying flat and straight, it needs 207 cm of boot floor. Set on its side at an angle, it needs less floor, but more width at the opening. The verdict on this page checks every way it can go into your car. With one person at each end, load it first, before anything else takes up the floor.
