Measurement notes
- No boot height or opening height is published in either Dacia source.
- Dacia global technical sheet dated 2022-06-15 (src-dacia-media-sandero-techsheet-2022) confirms the UK press-kit values: 'Inner width between wheel arch 1,026' and 'Maximum load length (from boot door to back row 1) 1,517'. It also gives boot volume 'All rows in place, in litres (top of the backrest) 410' and 'All row in place, in dm3 VDA (on / under false floor, with spare wheel) 299 / 328'; maximum volume row 2 folded 1,455 litres.
- load sill height records the Sandero value (741 mm); the Sandero Stepway sill is higher at 777 mm.
- Bi-Fuel (LPG) versions: the source does not give separate load-space figures.
- Tailgate opening height (555 mm; open tailgate height 1820 mm) and payload (436 kg manufacturer / 461 kg ADAC measured) verified from ADAC Autotest (Dacia Sandero TCe 90 Expression, June 2023, pp. 3 & 11). ADAC independent boot measurements (depth 800-1380 mm, narrowest width 1025 mm, height 555 mm to parcel shelf / 940 mm to roof, opening width 900 mm, sill height 770 mm) closely corroborate the Dacia UK press-kit specifications.
What the numbers mean for loading
- The documented opening width (102.1 cm) is 0.5 cm narrower than the width between the wheel arches (102.6 cm), so the opening limits wide items first.
- The documented opening height (55.5 cm) is lower than the documented cargo height (94 cm): an item that fits inside may not pass through the opening upright.
- Folding the rear seats increases the documented floor length from 81.5 cm to 151.7 cm (measurement points as described by the source).
- The documented load sill height is 74.1 cm — heavy items have to be lifted at least this high.
- The documented maximum payload is 436 kg (p. 11, Herstellerangaben — Leergewicht/Zuladung: 1.125/436 kg (TCe 90 Expression; ADAC measured 461 kg)).
- Manufacturers measure at specific points that may differ from where your item sits; trims, options (such as a spare wheel or raised floor) and model updates can change the figures.

Measurement coverage before you choose: 15 Detailed have full interior and boot-opening figures for an automatic check; 5 Partial have official interior figures where the missing opening or height must be measured manually. Compare all 21 vehicles →
Car not listed, different trim, or only partial figures published? — it takes two minutes with a tape measure.
Measure your own car (how to measure). Leave anything you can't measure blank — we'll tell you what's missing rather than guess, and unknown opening dimensions will never be reported as “Likely fits”.
Where to measure A–F on your car (diagram)
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.

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 to verify these figures on your car
Before collecting something large, measure your own car — it takes two minutes. Measure the opening width at its narrowest point, the opening height from the top of the loading lip, and the width between the wheel arches.
