Generation comparison

Has the newer car become harder to fit in your garage?

Compare selected generations of high-volume UK models. The tool highlights changes in length, body width, mirror width and height, then links each version back into the garage calculator.

Reference warning: a generation can include several body styles, trims and equipment packages. Use this comparison to understand the direction of size changes, then confirm the exact vehicle before relying on a tight garage clearance.
