Go beyond basic length and width. Check the door opening at the mirrors, internal space, roof height, stored obstructions and the clearance left for everyday use.
Use the same measured garage in three ways: test one exact car, compare up to three vehicles, or search the reference database for confirmed matches plus possible matches that only need mirror-width confirmation.
Start from the reference database or enter exact manufacturer measurements.
Measure the smallest usable opening and the actual space available with the door closed.
Model an intentional offset rather than assuming the car is centred. This measures body-to-obstruction space only; it does not predict the door opening angle.
Unlike a simple car-size comparison, this uses your actual door opening and internal measurements.
Where a reference mirror width is unavailable, the entrance-width result is deliberately left incomplete rather than inferred.
Uses every record with supported length, body width and height. Cars with mirror data can be confirmed dimensionally; otherwise they are shown separately as possible matches requiring exact mirror-width confirmation.
Results are based on published/reference dimensions only. They are not a recommendation to buy or a guarantee of access.
The strongest competing tools are excellent at comparing car dimensions or showing a generic parking space. This tool is built around the full garage question: entrance, mirrors, internal obstructions and everyday usable space.
A car can fit inside the room and still be too wide at the mirrors to get through the door.
The result visual uses your usable garage width/depth after entered obstructions, not a stock garage size.
Measure once, then test three cars or search the wider vehicle database without re-entering the garage; records missing mirror width remain possible matches until verified.
Selected pages use model-specific reference dimensions and link straight into a preloaded calculator. We publish a small set of useful guides rather than generating a page for every database row.
Broader coverage now includes Honda, Fiat, Suzuki, Polestar and OMODA alongside the existing database.
Search vehicle data →Where mirror-to-mirror width is not supported, we ask you for it instead of pretending body width is enough.
Read the methodology →Vehicle dimensions change by generation and equipment. Each reference exposes its source and the contact page accepts data corrections.
Report a data issue →A nominal 7 ft width is about 2,134 mm, but the clear opening can be smaller and many current vehicles approach or exceed 2 metres across the mirrors. Measure the actual clear opening at mirror height rather than relying on the nominal door size.
Mirrors are often the widest point during entry. Once parked, the body width is more useful for estimating the static space beside the vehicle, although door opening still needs extra room and varies by vehicle.
No. They are conservative planning bands used to distinguish a few millimetres of positive clearance from a more usable margin. Steering angle, approach alignment, door geometry and the real shape of the garage still matter.
