Will a box (41x31x31 cm) fit in a vehicle?
Expert analysis
A box measuring 16 in × 12 in × 12 in fits in a vehicle, with about 4 in to spare at the tightest point.
It fits with clearance on every axis.
Your box will fit through the cargo opening, with a comfortable margin.
Handling: Load the item into the cargo area in its best-fitting orientation.
| Axis-aligned check (before rotation) | ||||||
| WIDTH | 16 in | ≤ | 3 ft 1 in | +1 ft 9 in | (+56.8%) | |
| DEPTH | 12 in | ≤ | 35 in | +1 ft 11 in | (+65.7%) | |
| HEIGHT | 12 in | ≤ | 17 in | +5 in | (+29.4%) | |
How the vehicle cargo check works
A vehicle cargo area is a 3D box — length, width, and height all matter, and most items can only be loaded in 2–3 of the 6 permutations because of door geometry and load height.
- Look up the cargo-bay rectangle for the chosen make / model / generation / fit-location (seats folded or removed per the configuration).
- Generate the orientation permutations the vehicle physically accepts (e.g., low liftgate blocks vertical loading of a tall sofa).
- For each accepted permutation, apply the constraint: item ≤ cargo on all three axes simultaneously.
- Pick the permutation with the largest minimum-axis margin — wheel-well intrusion is NOT modeled (see Assumptions).
- Same ladder as door (verdict-tiers.js): FITS ≥ 2 in; FITS_TIGHT 0.5–2 in; FITS_VERY_TIGHT 0–0.5 in; DOESN'T_FIT below.
Cargo-bay dimensions come from the manufacturer’s published spec, not from a physical measurement of your specific vehicle.
Dimensions
No dimension-specific assumptions surfaced for this check.
Space geometry
- Cargo area is rectangular (wheel-well intrusion not modeled)
- Seats folded or removed per the chosen configuration
Handling
- ±¼ in tape-measure tolerance applied
- 1.5 in handling clearance subtracted from raw margins before the verdict
- Item treated as rigid — cannot compress, bend, or disassemble.
