Ford C-Max First generation dimensions 2003–2010

The Ford C-Max First generation (2003–2010) is 437.1 cm long, 182.5 cm wide and 158.8 cm tall, with a 264 cm wheelbase. That makes it about 24 cm shorter than the average minivan in our guide (461 cm across 66 versions). In size it is closest to the Audi Q3 (2011, 1.4 cm longer), the Renault Scénic Minivan (2009, 2.8 cm shorter) and the Opel Meriva (2010, 8.3 cm shorter).

Will the Ford C-Max fit?

UK parking bay 4.8 × 2.4 m

Fits, but tight

It fits inside the lines (42.9 cm spare in length), but at 202.5 cm wide (est.) including mirrors only about 18.8 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 158.8 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.
