WillIVAR Shelving unit, pine, 89x50x179 cmfit in aVW T-Cross 2024?

The T-Cross boot is short behind the rear seats and much more useful with them folded. You get 66 cm of floor length seats up and 145 cm folded, a gain of 79 cm, so folding is not optional for anything bigger than luggage. The opening is 98 cm wide × 70 cm tall and the floor stays 100 cm across at its narrowest, which suits wide flat boxes and small furniture. Long flat packs are the weak spot. The sill sits 71 cm high with a 16 cm drop to the floor, so slide boxes in over the lip rather than lifting them over.

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.
