Mazda5 minivan - 2014/2015

rictom

Hi:: I'm hoping someone with a 2014/2015 mazda 5 minivan can take a measurement for me. I know it's a weird request. We have an Odyssey that's getting old, looking at another full size minivan but looked at the mazda and like some things about it. We have dogs, as they get older they can't jump into the cars.

The Ody van has a low floor, which is great. The mazda, I noticed when I was looking at them, with the second and third row of seats flat, and entering from the sliding door it eliminates the 'aisle' and the dogs would have to climb up onto the back of the folded down seat. The measurement I'd like is from the outside of the sliding door, from the ground to the top of the folded down second row, how high is that?

Also but less important, with the second row in place and the 3rd row folded down, going from the second row to the rear it's a step up. I'm wondering how high in inches that step up is.
On our Honda Ody the height entering from the sliding door with the second row in place is about an 18" step up now which our oldest dog can still do.

I'm sure if you took a tape measure to the dealer, they wouldn't mind you making the measurements yourself. Explain to them why you want to do it. I'm sure they've had odd requests like that in the past from other minivan owners or potential owners.

Also, you can trust the numbers you get.
