About the Volvo XC40 2023 boot
The XC40 boot is an upright, square space rather than a long one. Seats up, you get 91 cm of floor behind an opening 106 cm wide and 73 cm tall, so wide boxes slide in but long ones stall. Its best trait is the fold: drop the rear bench and the floor stretches to 168 cm, a gain of 77 cm. The floor narrows to 101 cm at its narrowest, so tall flat boxes suit it better than very wide loads. The sill sits at 75 cm with no drop to the floor, so you push loads straight in at sill height instead of lifting over a lip.
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
No on this pairing. The BILLY box is 206 cm long, and even on the diagonal it overshoots the XC40 boot opening by 56.5 cm with the seats up. Drop the rear bench and you gain 43.7 cm, but the maths still lands 12.8 cm short. The opening width is what stops you here, not the floor length, so a long thin bookcase box does not help itself. Check the opening on your own car with a tape measure first, and remember the parcel shelf and boot lip can shave off the margin you think you have.
