IKEA Billy box in Kia k5
No, it doesn't fit
The standard 79.5-inch tall IKEA Billy bookcase box will not fit inside a Kia K5 sedan due to the length of the flat-pack packaging exceeding the interior cabin length.
Item
IKEA Billy Bookcase (Standard)
79.5" x 11" x 7.5"
Space
Kia K5
Approx. 60" x 40" x 18" (usable interior length with seats down)
Clearance: -19.5"
Ways to make it fit
- ✕Trunk flatThe 79.5-inch box is significantly longer than the trunk depth.
- ✕Through cabin (seats down)Even with rear seats folded, the interior length of a K5 is typically under 70 inches, leaving the box sticking out of the trunk.
- ✕Diagonal (passenger seat reclined)The box is too long to fit even when angled from the trunk to the dashboard.
- ✓Roof rackThe box can be safely transported if secured properly to an aftermarket roof rack system.
Tips
- Measure your specific vehicle's interior length from the back of the front seats to the trunk opening before attempting to transport long flat-pack items.
- Consider the 'Thin' version of the Billy bookcase if you must transport it in a sedan, as it is often shorter or easier to maneuver.
- Always use high-quality ratchet straps if transporting furniture on the roof, and use a blanket to protect the car's paint.
