Hi

My local dealer doesn't have a hybrid one, so does anyone know what the internal height of the back is? I assume the batteries significantly compromise the available space?

TIA

FYI... this explains why I'm asking!

The 'Cargo height' measurement (vertical distance from cargo floor to headlining) is unchanged for the PHEV, and is 705mm.

You do lose the underfloor stowage though as the battery is there.

The rear opening height (distance from the loadspace scuff plate to the top of the loadspace aperture) is 687mm

If it's a problem the answer is easy. Get rid of the dog.
Put him in a crate and send him by rail and I'll pick him up from Tiverton.
Good home guaranteed .

Ha!

It's his birthday today... we have a party planned or he'd be on his way.

Typical of my wife. She wants to know what breed he is.

My sister's labradoodle is half that size.
We only have a GSD cross but he fills up the Volvo.

You have a lovely dog in a lovely place.

GC,

Lovely dog.

One of Bertie's pics mentions the local pub.....just wondering how far that is for you to get there, seeing as you're so remote.

It's a mile by car or 750 yards by boat.
