The space your car needs

To fit with about 2 cm (¾ in) to spare on each measurement (our margin, which you can change in the checker), your boot, trunk or cargo area needs at least:

Depth at floor91 cm (35.83 in) with the crate at its shortest setting
Narrowest width72 cm (28.35 in)
Opening height (lowest point)75 cm (29.53 in)

Measure height at the lowest point of the opening, not inside the boot: that is where crates catch.

Thule describes every Allax size as having rounded edges, so it can tuck under rear seats that slope into the boot better than a square box of the same size. Thule's own fit assistant on its product page checks specific car models.

What size dog it suits

Thule rates the Allax XL Compact for dogs up to 65 cm (25.59 in) at the shoulder (withers).
