Default Cargo floor height?

My 450h will arrive in about a week. I need to make or buy a new step for my dog to get in the back. I can't find the cargo floor height in the on line brochures and live a long way from the dealer. Does anyone know the height from the ground, approximately?

Lexus has said a lot in their advertisements about the 'Wider' cargo floor but the hatch opening is narrower than my '03 RX300.
Part of my criteria was to make sure my Segway could still go up the ramps and lie down (East/West) for transport. It was almost a show stopper for me. I have to partially dissemble by taking off the top of the lean steer frame (on the Segway) then lying it down separately but it's an easy operation. Turns out when the back door is up, the opening is about an inch or so narrower and keeps me from wiggling it in and down. But it works that way and ties down easily so not a big problem.
I don't remember the height being much different, My collie can jump into it fine.

Dunno if there is the accurate info online or on the books.

My RX350AWD is about 74 cm (29.1") - 78 cm (30.75").

A friend put his segway into the cargo with the fold-down rear seats. They're Commuter and Cargo. We do criticize the hatch-back on RX10, it creates the narrow space for some items and the large stroller. Well, that's the art of Lexus.
