About the Citroen C3 2023 boot
The C3 gives you a small supermini boot suited to shopping and soft bags rather than long flat-pack. The opening measures 88 cm wide by 79 cm tall, and the floor runs only 67 cm deep with the seats up. Fold the rear bench and it reaches 136 cm, a healthy gain of 69 cm, while the floor stays a fairly narrow 96 cm. Tall and compact boxes load easily; long panels struggle against that short floor. Watch the 78 cm loading sill with a 23 cm drop to the floor, so you lift over the lip, then down into the well.
About the BILLY Bookcase, white, 80x28x202 cm package
The BILLY bookcase ships flat in one long pack: 206 cm long, 30 cm wide, 13 cm thick, 36.9 kg. The narrow profile is friendly, the 2 m length is not. Most hatchbacks and small SUVs cannot take it seats up: you need the rear bench folded and a clean diagonal line through the cabin. Estates, large SUVs, and crossovers like the Tesla Model Y handle it without effort. Slide it in flat with the long edge along the floor and protect the printed face: a single scratch ruins the front board.
On pickup day
The verdict is no. BILLY comes as one long carton at 206 cm, and the C3 loads through an 88 cm wide opening, so the box overshoots by 83.3 cm even turned diagonally with the seats up. Drop the rear bench and the gap closes to 48 cm, still well short of fitting. A 206 cm bookcase needs an estate or a van, not a supermini boot. Tape-measure your own carton first, since IKEA tweaks pack sizes between updates.
