Fitment nuance per vehicle
Audi A3
The A3 TFSI e (plug-in hybrid) drops from 380 L to 280 L of boot space - the loading floor is also fixed high to clear the battery, so cargo liners cut for the pure-petrol Sportback overhang the shallower PHEV boot lip. S line adds sports seats with pronounced bolsters that trap universal seat covers with side elastics; ordinary Sport seats fit universal covers cleanly.
Skoda Octavia
The Octavia hatch's liftback (large hinged rear window) opens far higher than a normal saloon boot, so overhead-mounted bike carriers and roof boxes need at least 200 mm of clearance behind the car when the tailgate is raised. The 'Simply Clever' kit includes an ice scraper in the fuel-flap, an umbrella in the driver's door and a boot-net in most trims - so aftermarket boot organisers should not duplicate what is already fitted.
