combi/estate boot opening dimensions

s1m0n · 27-11-2006, 20:14

Hi all

I need to know the width and height of the boot on a new octavia estate/combi model.

I have a rather large cubed box i need to pick up and would rather not drive a 2000 mile round trip to find out it wont fit

I am renting the car, so i can't check out the dimensions myself right now (although i did have a 2006 elegance estate as a company car for almost a year, and thought it was great

)

So if anyone has a new model octavia estate, and can tell me what the minimum width n height is, I would very much appreciate it.

thanks in advance

Si

oh, and just to clarify, i dont mean the entire boot space, just the opening - in other words, whats the largest width/height of an object can i push into the boot

Sorry but I don't have an answer to your question but I'm intrigued as to why you are going to such lengths to pick up a box on a 2000 mile!!!!! round trip

. Where the feck are you going?.

heh, prague to the UK and back

Its a 29" cubed broadcast monitor, in a flight case - and my gf booked the car already hoping it will be good enough - now i am running around like a lunatic trying to get dimensions of the box and the boot to make sure it fits.

I dont think sleazyjet would let me put a 29" monitor in the overhead locker

Isn't the opening on the Skoda website?

When are you going? I can't be bovvered to go out and measure right now as it's too cold and dark, but I'll do it in the next couple of days if needs be...

Hi,
I did this in an earlier thread, don't know how to post link, but here is my last response

Height of tailgate, 86 cm - this is the height of the opening from the lower lip of the roof to the bottom of the opening, i.e. it is an oblique dimension.
Tallest point floor to roof lining.
This depends where you take it! The roof lining dips down sharply at the rear where it meets the tailgate opening.
The absolute tallest just behind rear seats is 98cm
From rear edge of roof lining to floor is 88cm
If the variable floor is in place (Elegance) these are 84 and 74 respectively.
Maximum width between wheel arches is 102 cm.

Hope this gives the info you need?
