Will a couch (213x91x86 cm) fit in a vehicle?
Expert analysis
A couch measuring 84 in × 36 in × 34 in does not fit in a vehicle, but it's about 1.5 in too large at the tightest point.
- Binding axis
- Longest
- Tightest clearance
- 1.5 in over
- Result
- Longest does not clear
It exceeds the opening at the tightest point.
Your couch will not fit through the cargo opening — but only just — it is a hair over the limit at the tightest point.
Handling: The item exceeds the space in every orientation — standard entry won't work.
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.
