WillIVAR Shelving unit, pine, 89x50x179 cmfit in aAudi A3 Sportback 2024?

The Audi A3 Sportback boot is wide and square, better for bulk than for length. The opening is 97 cm wide by 77 cm tall, and the narrow part of the floor still holds 99 cm across, generous for this class. Seats up you get 77 cm of floor length, folding the rear bench takes that to 149 cm, a gain of 72 cm. The load lip is a low 67 cm with only a 16 cm drop to the floor, so lifting boxes in is easy on your back. It swallows wide boxes, crates and a couple of cases side by side, but long flat-packs still need the seats folded. Load your widest item flat first, then build up.

The IVAR shelving unit ships in three slim cartons, the largest 179 cm long, 9 cm wide and only 5 cm thick. At 7.3 kg combined this is a light load, but the 1.79 m length is what dictates the car. A hatchback with the rear bench folded, an estate, or anything with a long load bay will take it. Even a small car can manage if you slide the front passenger seat forward and rest the bundle along the diagonal. Load the boxes flat together as one stack, and tape the bundle to stop them fanning out.
