WillKIVIK 3-seat sofa, Tibbleby beige/greyfit 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 largest KIVIK box is 184 by 90 by 50 cm, with the full sofa across 3 packages weighing 75.9 kg. The 50 cm depth is the trouble, you cannot stand the boxes flat against the boot floor in most cars. A large SUV with seats folded or a small van suits this load; a normal hatchback or estate often runs out of cargo height. Load the largest box first, on its long edge if your boot allows it. Two people lift the heavy frames, the cushions ride on top last.
