Hi

Does anyone know the boot dimensions of an Octavia mk1 estate? I need to know if our dog cage will fit in lengthways. It fits in our Mondeo hatch widthways but I have been considering getting a VRS or 1.8T 4x4 estate as we need some extra space. The cage is 91 cm long. I would appreciate it if anyone has the dimensions or can measure their car.

Thanks

Phil

Your cage will fit widthwise in a 4X4 Estate but not lengthwise. Rough measurements obtained by sitting in the boot of my car - and inadvertently shutting myself in when I gently closed the boot lid! - are:

Width - 1010 mm

Depth - 890 mm

Height - 770 mm

A fair amount of depth is lost due to the slope of the rear seats and that of the rear door. The 4X4 has a higher boot floor than the vRS and probably less space between the rear suspension mounts too, so the latter may better meet your boot space requirements.

I have a 810L x 560W x 620H dog cage which fits widthwise comfortably but I have to put padding between the top of it and the rear window to prevent damage to the HRW, ie space is tight.

Thanks for that mate. Glad you managed to escape from your boot:)
