Will it fit in your car?
Check whether furniture, boxes, appliances and everyday purchases are likely to fit in your boot — before you buy, collect or drive. We check the cargo space and the boot opening, and show every measurement we use.
Your car
Car not listed or different generation? — it takes about two minutes.
Measure your own car (how to measure). Leave anything you can't measure blank — we'll tell you what's missing rather than guess.
Advanced: tapers and sloping tailgates
If the opening is narrower at the top, or the height is lower near a sloping tailgate, enter the smaller figures here. The conservative check uses the smaller of each pair.

Your item
Buying from IKEA? Use the article number
IKEA does not offer a public product-data API we can use, so we don't fetch or guess package sizes. Enter the article number to open the official IKEA product search, then copy the package dimensions from the product page (“Product details → Measurements / Packaging”) into the packages below — one row per package.
How the fit check works
1. Your car
Pick a car with sourced measurements (18 listed, 4 with opening data) or enter your own in two minutes.
2. Your item
Enter the packaged size. Multi-box products get one row per package.
3. Every orientation
We test up to six orientations against the cargo space, then check the opening separately.
4. An honest answer
“Likely fits”, “Might fit”, “No fit found” or “Need more measurements” — never a guarantee.
Why boot size in litres doesn’t answer the question
A boot quoted at 500 litres tells you how many standard blocks fit inside, not whether a 1.9-metre flat-pack box or a boxed 65-inch TV will. What matters for rigid items is the length, the narrowest width (usually between the wheel arches), the usable height — and above all, whether the item can get through the boot opening, which is often smaller than the space behind it.

How to measure your car boot: the six measurements that matter
The six core measurements (A–F) you need to check whether a boxed item will fit in your boot or trunk, plus the optional extras that catch awkward shapes.
How to measure your boot opening (and why it often decides the fit)
The boot opening is frequently smaller than the space behind it. Here is how to measure its true clear width and height, including taper, seals and the loading lip.
How to check if furniture will fit in your car before you buy
A practical routine for checking furniture against your car: find the right dimensions, check every package, test orientations, and confirm the opening and seats-down space.
How to transport flat-pack furniture in a car
Flat-pack is designed to travel, but long, heavy, multi-box orders still catch people out. How to plan the load, protect the car, lift safely and decide when delivery is the better option.

Folding the rear seats is the easiest way to carry long items, but the floor is not always flat and the extra length varies with height. How to measure it properly and keep a seat for a passenger.
Frequently asked questions
Is a “Likely fits” result a guarantee?
No. It means the item fits the documented (or entered) rectangular measurements in at least one tested orientation, with your chosen clearance, and passes the boot opening. Real boots have curves, trim and hinges, and packaging can be larger than listed. Always check your own car and item.
My car isn’t listed — can I still use it?
Yes. Choose “I know my measurements” and enter the six measurements described in our measuring guide. We only list vehicles where we have sourced measurements, so the manual mode works for every car.
Where do the car measurements come from?
From manufacturer technical documents and other credible sources, each cited with a page reference. Open “View measurements and sources” after choosing a car, or see the sources page. We never estimate missing figures from the boot volume.
Does it work for a sofa, wardrobe or washing machine?
Yes — enter the packaged (or assembled) dimensions. Tick “Must stay upright” for items like fridges or washing machines if the manufacturer requires it, so only upright orientations are tested.
Do you store my measurements?
No. Calculations run in your browser. If you save a car or item, it is stored only on your device. See our privacy policy.
