About BootSized

Boot volume in litres tells you almost nothing about what actually fits. Two cars with the same 400-litre figure can have completely different shapes — one swallows a pushchair, the other won't. The number hides the width, the depth, the wheel arches, and everything else that matters when you're actually loading stuff.

Car review sites mention boot space in passing. Manufacturer specs give you a single number. Checking in person means driving to a dealership — and if you're comparing two cars, that's two trips with no easy way to test real packing scenarios on the spot.

I built BootSized because choosing a car should be based on what actually fits in the boot, not an abstract number that tells you almost nothing.

Pick two cars and choose a real-life scenario — family holiday, pushchair and luggage, weekly shop, golf day. BootSized shows both boots side by side with a 3D visualisation and gives you a clear FITS, TIGHT, or NO FIT verdict for each car.

All comparisons use seats-up boot dimensions — the space you actually have with passengers in the car. The 3D model is built from real manufacturer width, depth, and height, so you're comparing real shapes, not just litres.

Need something more specific? Switch to custom packing, enter your own item dimensions in millimetres, and watch them slot into the 3D boot in real time. No guessing, no surprises at the dealership.

BootSized is for anyone choosing between cars who needs to know which boot fits their life. New parents checking if the pushchair fits alongside luggage. Families planning a holiday and wondering if two large suitcases and a buggy will actually go in. Golfers, dog owners, weekly shoppers — anyone who's been burned by a boot that looked big enough on paper but wasn't in practice.

Boot dimensions come from manufacturer specifications and are cross-referenced where possible with owner-reported measurements. The database covers 250+ cars across all major body types, and I add new cars daily while reviewing existing measurements for accuracy.

The 3D visualisation is an approximation — real boot shapes have wheel arches, uneven floors, and tapered sides — but it gives you a much better picture than a single litres figure ever could. I'm honest about the limitations and improving things as I go.
