Measurement notes
- Width between wheel arches is not published in the VW UK sources.
- PDF value-to-label mapping was confirmed against the HTML web page, which pairs labels and values explicitly.
- Boot height (535 mm to parcel shelf / 785 mm to roof), loading sill height (710 mm), and payload (446 kg manufacturer / 462 kg ADAC measured) added from ADAC Autotest AT6180 (VW Polo 1.0 TSI OPF Style DSG, Dec 2021, pp. 3 & 11). ADAC independent boot length (660-1380 mm) and narrowest width (995 mm) corroborate the Volkswagen UK brochure dimensions (691 / 1372 / 999 mm).
What the numbers mean for loading
- Folding the rear seats increases the documented floor length from 70.6 cm to 138 cm (measurement points as described by the source).
- The documented load sill height is 71 cm — heavy items have to be lifted at least this high.
- The documented maximum payload is 446 kg (p. 11, Herstellerangaben — Leergewicht/Zuladung: 1.204/446 kg (1.0 TSI OPF Style DSG; ADAC measured 462 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.
