Of course there's a zillion choices to measure dimensions, but here's 2 that may be useful for your concern:

1. With the front passenger all the way BACK on its track, I measured from the top of the headrest to the rear of
the headliner (where it meets the hatch). That distance = 51".

2. I then pushed the right front passenger seat all the way FORWARD, and flattened the rear passenger seat DOWN.
The distance from the back of the right front bucket, laid along the bottom of the area, until it reached the tailgate,
= 71".

I believe that if you navigate down the CX-5 path, you may get a better idea of dimensions that affect your RC hobby.

There are 3 trim levels on the CX-5. I got the "entry" level trim, the "Sport", which has plenty of features as standard
equipment. But the exterior paint colors are limited to 4: White, Liquid Silver, Metropolitan Gray (think dark charcoal),
and Black. I wanted a bright blue one, but didn't want to spend thousands more just to get it.

When I shopped for mine, they had 5 stick shift CX-5's in stock: 1 silver, 1 Metropolitan Gray, and 3 Black. I took the silver one.

My salesman told me that when the automatic CX-5's come off the truck, they usually sell them all within a few days.
Since I'm part of the 5% of Americans that drive stick, I had a choice of colors.

The middle and upper trim levels add things such as a sunroof, nav package, and AWD.
