The Volvo V70 Second generation (2000–2007) is 470.9 cm long, 180.3 cm wide and 149.1 cm tall, with a 275.6 cm wheelbase. That makes it about 8 cm longer than the average estate in our guide (463 cm across 123 versions). In size it is closest to the Jaguar X-Type (2001, same length), the Chevrolet Cruze Estate (2008, 2.8 cm shorter) and the Mazda Mazda6 (2007, 5.6 cm longer).

Will the Volvo V70 fit?

UK parking bay 4.8 × 2.4 m

Fits, but tight

It fits inside the lines (9.1 cm spare in length), but at 200.3 cm wide (est.) including mirrors only about 19.9 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

Doesn't fit

Too long to close the door behind it. Height 149.1 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.
