Cars you can fit 1800 x 900mm sheet material in...
Discussion
Bit of an odd one but this is the best way of describing what I need!
I currently drive an A7 - great car and very practical considering the sleek looks.
I've been thinking about having a change, and essentially I want a premium marque with a boot big enough to at least fit 1800 x 900mm sheet material in!
All the boot size guides online just give litres in general, which doesn't really help me much.
I'd imagine all of the estates will swallow that up, but I was hoping to keep away from them as I generally prefer the non-estate look. SUV is a possibility, however.
Any ideas?

Does your A7 can fit it ? And what sort of material are we talking about ? Something hard and with rough edges?
Yes the A7 takes it. It's a bit of a tardis!Edited by ST565NP on Tuesday 19th September 21:10
Was thinking about the competitors like CLS and 6 series but almost certain they'd be no where near big enough.
Yes something hard, from plasterboard to composite boards that I had in it yesterday. I use a "boot buddy" to protect it from damage.

If you want to go for something old a Saab 9-5 would take it, so new a Volvo v90 or possibly an a6
Looking for something new or fairly new, really. Not a fan of volvos.
A6 would feel a bit too much like my A7 but not as good, I feel.
Perhaps I'll have to wait for the new A7 to come out!

I might go around some showrooms with a tape measure.
The CLS has been calling me a bit recently, particularly in 63 AMG form. I guess the shooting brake isn't that bad if needed...!
