Those are some lucky pooches! And while you’re wise to look at a minivan
for a trip like this, the Mazda 5
interior is slightly smaller than other cars in its class. The space behind the third row of seats only yields 5.58 cubic feet of cargo space, while the space behind the second row fetches 44.4 cubic feet. In total, the Mazda 5 has 142.1 cubic feet of interior cargo space.
So, while it may feel a bit tight with two fully-grown German Shepherds in the back seat, the sliding doors will give your four-legged friends a much easier time getting in and out of the car.
