WillKIVIK 3-seat sofa, Tibbleby beige/greyfit in aToyota Yaris 2018?

The Toyota Yaris gives you a compact hatchback boot. The opening is 88 cm wide and 87 cm tall, and the floor runs 68 cm deep with the seats up, enough for a weekly shop, a pushchair, or a few small boxes. Fold the rear bench and the floor extends to 133 cm, a gain of 65 cm, which nearly doubles what you can carry. Long loads like bed frames or wardrobe panels still overhang and will not go. You lift over a 68 cm sill then drop 17 cm into the well, so slide heavy boxes in rather than lower them by hand.

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.
