Width without mirrors. Figures come from the catalog version pages; the drawing uses the same numbers. Body outlines are generic for the body type - proportions are exact, styling is not. Weight difference compares the lightest versions.
Garage and parking
A typical single garage is about 5.5 × 3.0 m18 ft 1 in × 9 ft 10 in inside; a parking bay about 5.0 × 2.5 m16 ft 5 in × 8 ft 2 in. Room to open a door: about 600 mm2 ft each side.

Drawn to one scale
Both cars use the same millimetre grid, so a longer bonnet or a taller roof shows exactly as it is.
Wheels at the real wheelbase
Dashed lines mark the axles. In Overlay both cars start at the front bumper; car 2 has a dashed outline.
Will it fit my garage?
Switch to Top view, or to feet and inches if your garage plan is in feet. Allow about 600 mm (2 ft) for opening the doors.
How the size comparison works
Every car is drawn from its catalog dimensions on the same scale: the side view uses length, height and wheelbase, the front view uses width and height. The shapes are generic outlines for the body type (sedan, hatchback, SUV and so on), not exact drawings of the model — they show proportions, not styling. Exterior width is quoted without mirrors unless the source says otherwise.
Frequently asked questions
Are the silhouettes exact?
No. They are generic outlines for the body type, scaled to the real length, height, width and wheelbase, so the proportions between the two cars are accurate.
Does the width include mirrors?
Usually not: most makers quote body width without mirrors, and so do we unless a source states otherwise.
Why is my car greyed out in the search?
We only draw cars whose length and height are in our catalog. Models without dimensions yet are shown in grey; try another generation of the same model.
