Estate Car with the Widest Boot

[RAClNG SNAKE]

Which estate car manufactured in the last 10 years has the widest boot floor between the wheel wells? i.e. which car will hold the widest piece of plywood flat across the floor?

All these figures in overall litres are not much use.

[sparkythecat]

Are you including MPVs or just specifically estate cars?

[RAClNG SNAKE]

Just estates really, I don't need much load height and i don't have a family. The widest I have found so far is the Audi A6 Avant at 105cm.

I can't find any site that lists boot opening or width. I'm guessing the E-Class, V70 and Skoda Superb are in the same ballpark as the A6.

V70 is 113 at the narrowest I believe

Looks like the 9-5 is 101cm.

Just went out and measured the width between the arches of my Mk3 Mondeo estate - 111cm. It's like a cave in there!

Edited: Now I'm just being nosey - Whatcha trying to fit in?

The older E class estate (W210?) can fit nearly a whole 8x4 sheet in the back, I can't remember if it laid flat or not though.

I have sold the car so can't measure, the newer shape ones appear slightly smaller though if <10years is a must.

was gonna say Mondeo, they are huge, and with a big hatch opening too

Merc E class W212 112 at the narrowest point.

[HustleRussell]

W210 e-class always looked huge to me. Probably similar to recent Mondeos.

What about something like a Citroen Berlingo?

I spent a lot of time recently researching boot dimensions trying to find a "proper" estate rather than the sloping rear that seems to adorn so many tourers in order to give best space to our dog.

I found http://www.rica.org.uk/carfilter to be a fantastic resource and it provided lots of boot and height measurements. The site is aimed at those buying cars for those who are disabled or struggle with mobility. But it gives boot sizes, height from the ground etc

The old ugly C5s were wide and the V90's as well,
My old freight company used to have a carlton, that was hangar like with the seats down

[Antony Moxey]

My XF Sportbrake is about 109cm in the boot.

[Dr Interceptor]

W211 Mercedes E-Class length with the rear seats folded down is 1852mm, the width between the wheel arches is 1100mm and the height is 850mm.
