Volkswagen Up dimensions 2011–2023
The Volkswagen Up (2011–2023) is 360 cm long, 164.1 cm wide and 150.4 cm tall, with a 240.7 cm wheelbase. Boot space is 251 litres with the rear seats up and 959 litres with them folded. That makes it about 49 cm shorter than the average 5-door hatchback in our guide (409 cm across 212 versions). In size it is closest to the Renault Twingo 5-door hatchback (2007, same length), the Hyundai i10 (2013, 4.5 cm longer) and the Kia Picanto (2011, 0.5 cm shorter).

Will the Volkswagen Up fit?
UK parking bay 4.8 × 2.4 m
Fits comfortably120 cm spare in length; with mirrors (191 cm wide including mirrors) about 24.5 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 150.4 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.
