Spacious Boots, Low Floors & Pet-Friendly Features Across Audi, VW and Honda
If you're a dog owner in the UK, choosing the right car isn’t just about performance or fuel economy — it’s about finding a vehicle that keeps your four-legged friend safe, comfortable, and happy on every journey.
At Drift Bridge Group, we understand that for many families, dogs are just as important as any other passenger. That’s why we’ve put together this guide to the best dog-friendly cars in 2025, featuring models from Audi, Volkswagen, and Honda — all available at our dealerships in Epsom, Walton and Gatwick.
Before we get into our top picks, here’s what to look for if you're buying a car with your dog in mind:
The Audi Q5 is a refined and practical SUV that ticks all the boxes for dog owners. The boot offers 550 litres of space, with a flat load bay and powered tailgate as standard – ideal for lifting heavier dogs in and out. With optional pet barriers, boot liners, and even Audi accessories for dogs, the Q5 keeps everyone clean and secure.
Why it's dog-friendly:
✔ Flat, square boot space
✔ Quattro all-wheel drive for off-road adventures
✔ Available dog guard and boot protector
The VW Tiguan has long been a favourite for active families — and it’s just as ideal for dogs. The luggage compartment is roomy and well-shaped, and you can opt for a removable boot liner and dog guard through Volkswagen accessories. With rear climate control available on higher trims, it’s a comfortable space for your canine in all seasons.
Why it's dog-friendly:
✔ Over 600 litres of boot space
✔ Adjustable boot floor for easier entry
✔ VW Pet Pack available
The Honda CR-V Hybrid offers a smooth, efficient drive with loads of space in the back. The boot offers up to 1,638 litres with the seats folded, and the low sill height makes access easy for older or larger dogs. It’s also one of the most reliable and cost-effective SUVs on the market.
Why it's dog-friendly:
✔ Flat boot with wide access
✔ Excellent rear seat fold-down functionality
✔ Quiet cabin and hybrid efficiency
For those who prefer estates over SUVs, the Audi A4 Avant is an excellent choice. It combines premium interior quality with a comfortable boot space (495–1,495 litres). It’s ideal for medium-sized dogs, and the low loading height makes it easy for pets to hop in.
Why it's dog-friendly:
✔ Sleek estate with large, accessible boot
✔ Built-in load rails for crate security
✔ Audi accessories for dog comfort
If you’re looking to switch to electric without compromising on space, the VW ID.4 is worth a look. Its 585-litre boot and flat floor make it suitable for dogs, and it’s super quiet — which many pets prefer. Optional accessories include a boot mat and dog barrier, making it a green yet practical option.
Why it's dog-friendly:
✔ Whisper-quiet electric motor
✔ Lots of interior and boot space
✔ Ideal for city and countryside trips
If you don’t need an SUV or estate, the Honda Jazz is surprisingly dog-friendly for a compact car. With its Magic Seat system, you can fold rear seats up or down to accommodate crates or travel harnesses easily.
Why it's dog-friendly:
✔ Magic Seats offer versatile layout
✔ Perfect for smaller dogs
✔ Easy access and low ride height
Whether you’re heading to the vet, the park or on a weekend trip, having a car that’s tailored to your pet’s needs makes life much easier — and more enjoyable for both of you.
At Drift Bridge Group, our teams at Epsom Audi, Walton Audi, Gatwick Honda and Drift Bridge Volkswagen can help you explore dog-friendly features and accessories across new and Approved Used models.
