A difference that looks small on a specification sheet can matter in a narrow garage. Mirror width is particularly important at the entrance, while body width affects the room left for opening doors once parked.

Which measurement matters most for a garage?

Start with the clear garage-door width at mirror height. Then check the lowest entrance height, usable internal width after shelving or pillars and usable depth with the door closed. A newer vehicle can remain similar in overall length while becoming noticeably wider.

Old car vs new car — against your garage

Use your saved garage or enter four measurements to see how the generations change the actual entrance and parked clearances.

Straight-line dimensional planning only. Verify the exact derivative and actual manoeuvring route.

Use your own garage dimensions

The figures above compare the two vehicle references, not your property. Open either version in the calculator and enter the narrowest measurements from your actual garage.

Data note

Generations can include several body styles, trims and specification changes. Reference dimensions are useful for comparison but should be confirmed for the exact vehicle before relying on a tight clearance.
