Ford Ka Second generation (Europe) dimensions 2008–2016

The Ford Ka Second generation (Europe) (2008–2016) is 362 cm long, 165.8 cm wide and 150.5 cm tall, with a 230 cm wheelbase. That makes it about 22 cm shorter than the average 3-door hatchback in our guide (384 cm across 63 versions). In size it is closest to the Renault Twingo 3-door hatchback (2007, 2 cm shorter), the Citroën C2 (2003, 4.5 cm longer) and the Hyundai i10 (2013, 2.5 cm longer).

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.
