Compare car sizes and check if they fit your garage
Check Car and Garage Fit
Measure the garage at its narrowest usable points: door width and height, interior width, length, and space lost to shelves, pipes, or door hardware. Use a consistent measurement workflow and record everything in the same unit.
Find the vehicle's width with mirrors, height, length, and ground clearance, then compare each figure with your measurements. Leave extra room for opening doors, walking around the car, closing the garage door, and tolerating small measurement errors.

More about usable clearance
Published car dimensions confirm the basic envelope, but the final checkpoint is usable clearance. A vehicle can fit on paper and still be awkward to enter, exit, or park.
- Mark the vehicle footprint with tape, including mirrors, then test door-opening space.
- Check the driveway angle, garage-door track, and overhead opener at the tightest points.
- Use the larger of folded and unfolded mirror widths based on how you will enter.
