Someone with an R2: Help with cargo dimensions

[keamoro]

During my test drive, I was too rushed to take proper measurements, but for those who have the R2 already or have done measurements, I'd love to get a few real-life measurements if anyone has the time! It might be a big ask.

1. Distance of the floor between the wheel wells in the cargo area. Basically the narrowest point on the floor.
2. With the hatch closed, floor distance from the backseat back to the closed hatch. Floor distance again.
3. The "lowest" height from floor to ceiling of the hatch. I know it's pretty even, but I'm sure there's probably a tiny bit of a dip

The reason is I want to get a Thule Allax XL or a Thule Allax Double L compact dog crate. But I'm not certain they will fit. I quickly used my iphone's measurement app to do a measurement when I was trying to test drive, but the employee was pestering me to move along so I couldn't do a precise measurement.

The Allax XL has a minimum depth of 37" on the floor (it tapers at the top). So that #1 measurement will tell me if that's just not possible. From my measurement, the hatch was open, so I couldn't be sure. The Double L has a 34.4" minum depth, so that might actually work. The width, however, is 37.8", and I can't be sure if the space between the wheel wells will work. I think it was about 41", but it would be great to know for sure.

Thanks so much!!

Also, in case anyone else is interested, these are pretty nice crash tested car crates for dogs:

If I remember correctly, it's 41" between the wheel wells, 36" from the base of the back seats to the plastic trim, and 29-30" from bottom to top of the hatch.

There are several posts on this including one with posts in the last 24 hours with a tape measure showing a lot of what you’re looking for.

Thanks! I thought that was focused on the liftgate being open and from the back of the front seats, but it looks like they have one measurement with the back seats up.
