Replacing Mk1 Galaxy

[Dr Pete]

I've had a Mk1 1.9 TDI Galaxy for aboutr 10 years and am thinking of getting a New MkIII. I've had a cursory look at them but wondsered if anyone out there could give me som details about internal dimensions. I use my Galaxy to take my dogs to Dog Shows and as such have to fir a double dog cage in the back. So can you tell me what teh floor to ceiling height is in the back and also what the width is. Also as the cage has to go in through the back what is teh size of the opening.

 

Many thanks

Hi Pete,

these are the dimensions as per the Mk3 Galaxy brochure dated June 2006.(mm)

Max cargo height with 3rd row seats 964

Max cargo height without 3rd row seats 1019

Max cargo width 1215

Max cargo width between wheel arches 1146

Max cargo length to back of 3rd row seats 557

Min cargo length to back of 3rd row seats 397

Max cargo length to back of 2nd row seats 1306

Min cargo length to back of 2nd row seats 1156

Max cargo length to back of front seats 2095

 

Fords also offer a fitted dog guard system that can either fit behind the front or second row seats.

Hope this helps, Andy. :D

and if i were you..id put a rubber mat in the back of it..if you get the MKIII..as otherwise the back of the seats will get ripped with putting a cage in and out as they arent the strongest of materials on the back of the seats!

My brother in law has a mark 111 and has a dog. The carpet/trim material seems to work like velcro hooks on dog hair; he'd had it for 3 months and it was abslolutly filthy! full width rubber mats or a moulded liner a must!!
