XC40 Boot dimensions

Salvatore9 · Feb 19th, 2021, 21:09

Hi

Im looking at getting an XC40 recharge hybrid however one of the deal breakers is that I need to get a large and elderly dog into the boot. In normal times of course I would pop into the showroom with a tape measure (Ive even taken the dog with me before) but of course all showrooms are shut.

I wondered if anyone could do me a quick favour. I would like to know:
Height of boot opening from the ground
Depth of boot ie from the opening to the back seat
Height of boot from the floor to the roof headlining

Would really appreciate if any of you can spare a minute to help. Many thanks in advance.

Not at all, just use a dog ramp.

we just got a ramp for our dog after getting a XC60 took her a couple of days to get used to it

OK thanks, yes saw that diagram myself after posting.

You are right about the ramp, we use one already, just is a bit of a faff so was hoping to get away without but possibly not. Think an estate is always going to be better suited otherwise.

Just in case any of you are looking for a ramp I highly recommend this one

Yes it is very expensive but worth every penny, far better than anything you will buy in a standard pet shop.
