WillFRIHETEN / KLAGSHAMN Corner sofa-bed with storage, Skiftebo dark greyfit in aVW Golf 2024?

The Golf boot is a useful hatchback space, not a cargo hold. The opening measures 104 cm wide by 78 cm high, and the floor runs 76 cm deep with the seats up. Fold the rear bench and that floor stretches to 148 cm, a gain of 72 cm, which is where the Golf earns its keep for longer loads. The floor stays about 101 cm across at its narrowest. The catch is length: upright, 76 cm fills fast, so anything past a metre needs the seats down. The sill sits at 68 cm with a 16 cm drop to the floor, so lift boxes over the lip rather than dragging them.

The FRIHETEN corner sofa-bed ships in four large cartons, the largest 207 cm long, 64 cm wide and 26 cm tall. This is the heaviest load on the list at 110.5 kg combined, and the biggest carton alone is taller and wider than most flat-packs. You want a van or a long-floor estate with seats folded, plus two people to lift. The 26 cm carton height eats into your cargo height, so check that before loading. Get the largest box in first along the floor, then layer the smaller cartons against the wheel arches.
