Boot dimensions

    I'm looking at buying an estate car to replace my mk4 Mondeo. I regularly carry a racing bike in the back with seat folded down and the Mondeo does it comfortably, with 114cm between rear wheel arches. I'm having a lot of hassle getting the dimensions of the boots of contenders though. They all quote volume in litres but not dimensions. Contenders include:
    -Mondeo mk5
    -Octavia mk3
    -Superb mk3
    -Insignia grand sport
    -V70
    Any good tips on where to find load space sizes without hours of googling (or going to garages to measure)?

    Octavia is 1010mm between the wheel arches (narrowest point) anyway. and this is a vertical wall on both sides.

    Are you sure you have 1400mm on the Mondeo?

    Thanks Colm. That seems to be very close to the Superb, curiously. Road bikes should both squeeze in with wheels on if I want. https://www.driving.co.uk/s3/st-driving-prod/uploads/2015/07/superb-estate.jpg

    Edit: remeasured the Mondeo. 1140mm. Not sure whether 141cm (now corrected above) was a brain fart or fat fingers. Still appreciably wider than even the Skodas.
