What are the Mazda 3 trunk dimensions?

I’m bringing my dog to visit my parents. I want to make sure his crate will fit in their car. What are the Mazda 3 trunk dimensions?

What a lucky pup! The Mazda 3’s trunk dimensions depend on whether it’s a hatchback or sedan. If it’s a sedan, it has 12.4 cubic feet of cargo space. A hatchback has 20.2 cubic feet of cargo space.
More specifically, it measures about 45 inches wide and 30 inches high. You can always fold down the rear seats to get a little more space, if necessary.
If your dog is medium or small, then your crate should easily fit in your parent’s trunk. Labs, boxers, and other large dogs may use larger trunks.
Still not sure if it will work? Consider buying a doggie seat belt tether for temporary use, so he can ride safely in the backseat. Whatever you do, don’t let Fido run loose in the car or hold him in your arms. This would leave him without any protection in the event of an accident.
Speaking of protection, make sure your
