MINI Hatch First generation dimensions 2001–2006
The MINI Hatch First generation (2001–2006) is 362.7 cm long, 168.9 cm wide and 142 cm tall, with a 246.6 cm wheelbase. That makes it about 21 cm shorter than the average 3-door hatchback in our guide (384 cm across 63 versions). In size it is closest to the Lancia Ypsilon (1995, 9.6 cm longer), the Renault Twingo 3-door hatchback (2007, 2.7 cm shorter) and the Ford Ka (2008, 0.7 cm shorter).

Will the MINI Hatch fit?
UK parking bay 4.8 × 2.4 m
Fits comfortably117.3 cm spare in length; with mirrors (188.9 cm wide (est.) including mirrors) about 25.6 cm free each side for opening doors.
UK single garage 4.8 × 2.4 m, 7 ft door
Fits, but tightNot enough width to open the doors fully. Height 142 cm vs a 198 cm door.
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.
