Check the approach as well as the parking bay

Measure the narrowest entrance and turns before the space. A wide parking bay may still sit behind a difficult ramp or close pillars. Establish whether the published width includes mirrors instead of assuming it does. Leave room for opening doors on the side used by passengers. A site-specific access question is best resolved with actual measurements of the proposed vehicle and parking route, rather than a generic model comparison.

Separate overall size from usable space

Body dimensions do not provide a cargo-volume measurement or guarantee that your equipment fits. Request luggage-opening and floor measurements if a large case or work item matters. Inspect matching cabin photographs for passenger access and the selected seating arrangement. Roof accessories, tyres and modifications need individual consideration too. Do not transfer a ground-clearance figure from another version merely because its overall body length is the same.

Put the constraints in a precise brief

State the desired TANK 400 powertrain and trim, critical access limits and any fitted accessories you want. If a logistics provider needs dimensions, identify the actual configuration and ask which measurement standard is required. Keep shipping arrangements and costs subject to a specific quotation. Include quantity and destination with the practical size limits so the proposal addresses both the vehicle and its intended use.

Questions, answered.

Does wheelbase tell me the turning circle?

No. They are different measurements. Request the relevant published or verified figure if manoeuvring space is critical.

Are dimensions enough to calculate shipping costs?

No. Routing, transport method, the actual vehicle and agreed services also matter. Request a specific logistics quotation.
