How wide is a car?

These are plain averages of the 44 best sellers in our vehicle table, one row per model. They aren't weighted by how many of each got sold.

Short answer

A sedan is about 71.9 in wide, call it 6 ft. A crossover is about 76.8 in and a full-size pickup about 80.6 in. That's the body. Mirrors add another 7 to 26 in.

Average car length, width and height

Type	Models	Length	Width	Height
Cars	5	188.5 in (15 ft 9 in)	71.9 in (6 ft)	56.6 in (4 ft 9 in)
SUVs and crossovers	29	193.9 in (16 ft 2 in)	76.8 in (6 ft 5 in)	70.4 in (5 ft 10 in)
Minivans	1	204.1 in (17 ft)	78.5 in (6 ft 7 in)	70.3 in (5 ft 10 in)
Pickups	9	229.6 in (19 ft 2 in)	80.6 in (6 ft 9 in)	77.9 in (6 ft 6 in)

The minivan row is one vehicle, the Sienna, so it's not really an average.

How wide is a car with mirrors?

Most makers only publish the body width. The few that list the width with mirrors out show the mirrors adding a good chunk The pickups gain the most.

Vehicle	Body	With mirrors	Mirrors add
Ford F-150 width	79.9 in	95.7 in	15.8 in
Ford Super Duty F-250 width	80 in	105.9 in	25.9 in
Ford Bronco width	79.4 in	86.6 in	7.2 in
Ford Expedition MAX width	80 in	94.6 in	14.6 in
Rivian R1S width	81.8 in	88.4 in	6.6 in
Rivian R2 width	78.1 in	84.7 in	6.6 in
Ford Explorer width	78.9 in	89.3 in	10.4 in
Jeep Grand Cherokee width	77.5 in	84.6 in	7.1 in
Tesla Cybertruck width	79.98 in	95.01 in	15 in
Tesla Model 3 width	72.8 in	82.2 in	9.4 in
Tesla Model Y width	75.6 in	83.8 in	8.2 in
Mazda CX-5 width	73.2 in	81.8 in	8.6 in

For the garage, fold the mirrors and use the body width. A standard 8 ft single door is 96 in, so even a full-size pickup clears it with mirrors folded. With them out, you're threading it.

Average car length and the garage

A sedan at 15 ft 9 in leaves plenty in a 20 ft deep garage. A crew cab pickup at 19 ft 2 in on average is a different story, and the long-bed ones don't fit in 20 ft at all. Put your own numbers into the garage fit calculator, or start from one of these:
