What actually fits in how many litres?
Manufacturer litres figures are measured with small blocks, not real luggage. Here's what boot sizes mean in practice.
| Boot size | What fits | Example cars |
|---|---|---|
| 250 – 350L | 2 cabin bags, a small weekly shop | Audi A1, Mini Cooper |
| 350 – 450L | Folded pushchair + shopping, or 2 large suitcases | VW Golf, Ford Focus |
| 450 – 550L | Family holiday — 2 large + 2 cabin bags | BMW 3 Series, Kia Sportage |
| 550L+ | Dog crate, camping gear, IKEA flat-packs — the lot | Skoda Octavia Estate, Hyundai Tucson |
Boot space by body type
Average boot volumes across our database of 116+ cars. The range matters more than the average — shape and dimensions vary hugely within each category.
Why litres lie
Manufacturers measure boot space by filling it with small 200mm blocks and counting how many fit. The result? A single number in litres that tells you almost nothing about what you can actually load.
Two cars with 480 litres can have completely different shapes. One might be wide and shallow (great for suitcases), the other tall and narrow (better for a dog crate). That's why BootSized uses real width, depth, and height measurements — and tests them against real items like pushchairs, golf bags, and grocery shopping.
Compare two cars to see the differenceHow we measure boot space
Width, depth, and height in millimetres from manufacturer specifications. Not just a single litres figure.
We test with standardised real-world items: large suitcases, pushchairs, golf bags, dog crates, and grocery bags.
Every scenario gets a FITS, TIGHT, or NO FIT result. No guessing, no "it depends." Just a straight answer.
