Here’s Joe in our Kuga with a Travall dog guard. Works really well for us - he gets half of the boot, leaving the other half for crap. He just curls up and goes to sleep…
Thanks folks. Looks like I've got plenty of ammo to steer the conversation towards an estate of some flavour. She does like the Audi so I'll maybe see how much sense an A6 Avant makes vs something like a Superb, which I'm assuming will be the exact same car wearing cheaper clothes.

no the Superb is based on the transverse engined VAG models, closest to a VW Passat. They are more space efficient than the longitudinal engined Audi
Just as a note, although an estate might be easier to get in for a dog, in every other way we prefer our SUV.
Nicer driving position, easier to get in and out of, the boot space is actually easier to lift heavy stuff in an out of as you don’t need to bend down. Also mountain bikes and awkward shaped stuff goes in an SUV much easier than an estate
Don’t buy an estate just so a dog can jump in and out !

So you would be happy lifting several kilos of dog should it eventually be unable to get in? I know what's more likely to do my back in and my vote is with 37kg of greyhound.

You and I have differing views on this.
And I get better mpg, more style and better handling. 😉

High boot floors makes them as bad as an estate for that so for the sake of the dog I'd just get an estate car and be done. SUV only redeeming feature is if you need a stannah stair lift to get out of a regular car
