The Chevrolet Cruze First generation (2008–2016) is 459.7 cm long, 178.8 cm wide and 147.7 cm tall, with a 268.5 cm wheelbase. That makes it about 17 cm shorter than the average sedan in our guide (476 cm across 274 versions). In size it is closest to the Subaru WRX Sedan (2014, same length), the Mazda Mazda3 Sedan (2013, 1.7 cm shorter) and the Renault Fluence (2009, 2.1 cm longer).

Will the Chevrolet Cruze fit?

UK parking bay 4.8 × 2.4 m

Fits, but tight

It fits inside the lines (20.3 cm spare in length), but at 198.8 cm wide (est.) including mirrors only about 20.6 cm is left each side — expect to squeeze out if cars park either side.

UK single garage 4.8 × 2.4 m, 7 ft door

Fits, but tight

Little room to walk round; not enough width to open the doors fully. Height 147.7 cm vs a 198 cm door.

Will it fit my garage?

Assumes a UK standard parking bay of 4.8 × 2.4 m and a typical UK single garage of 4.8 × 2.4 m inside (2.1 m high) with a 7 ft × 6 ft 6 in (213 × 198 cm) up-and-over door. Where we have no width-with-mirrors figure we add 20 cm to the body width. “Comfortably” leaves about 60 cm to walk round and open a door; “tight” means it goes in but getting out is awkward. Garages and bays vary a lot — measure yours and use the garage fit checker. For guidance only.
