Boot area space differences hatchback to estate

[Kelly_Heroes]

Hello

 

I'm looking to find out difference in size of the boot area from the hatchback to the estate.

 

Thanks

Erm, quite a bit I imagine. I can still get a 5'8ish person in the boot without disturbing the parcel shelf in my hatch, though.

 

Don't ask me how I know.

I did a bit of digging on here, from this thread:

A Mk1 Fabia Hatch has a boot capacity of 260 Litres.
A Mk1 Fabia Estate has a boot capacity of 426 Litres.

That's interesting a good size difference.

 

I will have to try and find some boot area pictures now might be something to look at next.

It looks like my peugeot 306 hatchback boot but bigger.

 

It's something I may add to my collection at some point when the next bargain comes along.

Couple of pointers::

You can get 8 full bags of coal and 4 bales of BNM briquettes in a combi boot with the seats down.

A washing machine fits with the back seat in place.

It's 5 to 6 inches longer than a hatchback boot.

A child's push chair and a week's food shopping for a family of 4 fit nicely in the boot of the combi - not so the hatchback.

The saloon is the same length as the estate but you obviously miss out on the extra hight at the hatch.

In my experience, the combi is much more practical than the hatch and better looking shape "to boot" ..... If you don't mind the pun.

On that note... "Ryan, you don't need the estate, you'll never need that much space..." they said.

Those two statements are contradictory and the superb photo that you have posted (worth a million words) would indicate that the Combi/Estate is longer than the hatchback which I assume you meant when you spoke of the saloon.

Yes it looks much more stylish on that photograph to my admittedly biased eyes.

I believe he's referring to the hatch area of the estate version. Or that's my understanding.

There were 3 models. A bit like the 3 bears.

Hatch - baby bear

Saloon - mammy bear 

Combi - daddy bear

The hypotenuse is your friend!

I like this analogy.

Funny you should say that, Pete...

 

 

Sure, the lamp was a little damaged, but it was getting sent to the tip anyway.

I've never liked the look of the estate but each to their own.

Same here, Lee... at least it's better than the saloon though.

A brush cutter thus angled in the combi you can close the boot lid. In the hatchback it protrudes over the bumper.

That was back when I was naïve to believe the nonsense quotes on the stuff. It did sweet **** all. So Sep won't have to panic, I learned my lesson.
