MG5 Maximum luggage length with seats down?

[DomGo]

Hi all,
Can anyone tell me what the maximum distance is, in an MG5 (2022 ideally) from the sill of the boot to the back of the driver's seat when the rear seats are folded?
I've searched everywhere, to no avail!
Many thanks,
Dom

Hi, just measured it as 1650mm

Thank you so much - I've been tearing my hair out trying to get this info!
It's pretty incredible that this number is absolutely nowhere on the internet.
You'd think quite a few people who buy an estate car would want to know this... but there's only volume or rear boot dimensions with seats up.
Jomarkh, you're a star!

Hard to find because it's a variable, depends how far back you have your car seat...

It may also be worth mentioning that the seats don’t fold flat (unless you remove the bench first)

You can get 3 metre lengths of guttering in, diagonally, as long as you haven't got a front seat passenger.

Thank you, I think that's fairly obvious! But there'll be a minimum maximum, if you get my drift! It's a measurement that's available for lots of other cars and fairly important if you regularly carry larger items. Like bodies

Thank you MickeySw - yes, I've seen a useful thread on here - it seems it's not super easy but it's do-able - and I'll be doing it, carefully.

Thanks Verdigris. Again - this is exactly the kind of real world information that's genuinely useful when trying to decide whether to buy a car or not.
Trying to figure out whether one can use tow bars or roof racks for the various iterations of the MG5 seems worthy of membership to Mensa.

Boot length plus many more dimensions.

Possibly the MG5's biggest drawback for those of us who just want a car that moves us and our gear around reliably without having any effect on blood pressure.

Same as most cars these days it seems. Fold flat seats are a rarity nowadays.

Based on previous feedback on this forum I went ahead & removed the rear seat base (FL). Given the base has a metal frame I was careful, but all was well. It took a five minutes (need to disconnect the seat belt wire connectors). And it fits nicely in the floor well. I recommend a firm pull (8-12inches in from each end), but nothing excessive.

Thank you Pebble for the Holy Grail of MG5 data - your place in Mensa (should you want to be part of such a smug organisation) is yours for the taking!

Thank you - Super helpful.
Based on all the answers received on this forum, I have now gone ahead and bought an MG5.

Yay!

I see, elsethread, that the 5 will be replaced by a "long-boyed" 4, fairly soon.

How ? or is that only with the pre facelift?

Pre facelift or the new ones also? how would I do that

Mine's PFL but there is no physical difference between the cars.

Fold the back seat down, recline the passenger seat and there is 3 metres clear from the back corner on the driver's side to the windscreen in front of the passenger seat.
