Boot shape, loading height, ventilation and usable floor area can count for more than quoted boot capacity alone.
Litres can mislead
A tall narrow boot and a low square boot can have similar advertised capacities but work very differently for a dog. Inspect the opening and the space with the rear seats in their normal position.
Think about everyday dirt
A removable boot floor, tough trim and easy-clean surfaces can make more difference over several years than an extra gadget on the dashboard.
Do not ignore the running costs
Estate cars and crossovers are not automatically expensive to insure, but larger wheels, glass and body panels can raise replacement costs. check what the exact version costs to insure if running cost matters.
Once you have found a car that works for the dog, check the exact version's insurance and running costs before you buy.
