WillKIVIK 3-seat sofa, Tibbleby beige/greyfit in aRenault Clio 2024?

The Renault Clio 2024 gives you a supermini boot that is wider than it is long. The opening measures 100 cm wide by 74 cm tall, and the floor behind it runs 71 cm with the seats up. Fold the rear bench and that floor reaches 132 cm, a gain of 61 cm, which is the Clio's strong card. The narrowest point across the floor is 101 cm. It handles shopping, suitcases and folded flat-packs well, but long rigid boxes struggle against the short upright floor. The loading sill sits 77 cm up with a 24 cm drop, so lift over the lip first, then slide forward.

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.
