Measure the narrowest part of the route

Write down the garage entrance width, its lowest obstruction and the space beyond the doorway. Include ramps, bends, pillars and parking barriers. Published body width should not be treated as maximum width with mirrors unless the source explicitly says so. Ask for that separate measurement if access is tight. Compare with the exact proposed vehicle rather than an older or overseas TANK 700 specification.

Allow room to use the vehicle

A car that fits inside a rectangle may still be awkward to use. Check room for opening doors, passenger access and rear loading. Measure your regular luggage or equipment and request photographs with a measuring tape when necessary. Do not calculate usable cargo volume from exterior dimensions. Suspension position, roof accessories and the actual configuration also deserve review where overhead clearance is limited.

Include access limits in the enquiry

Send the chosen TANK 700 trim, destination and quantity with any critical width or height limit. Explain whether it concerns a private garage, enclosed parking facility or another access point. Ask for confirmation of the proposed vehicle and fitted accessories before purchase. Keep a practical clearance margin: website dimensions are a specification reference, not a site survey or a promise that a vehicle will negotiate a particular entrance.

Questions, answered.

Are these dimensions for every historical TANK 700?

No. They identify the current Chinese configurations checked on 8 November 2026. Confirm the year and trim of any separate offer.

Can I use body width as mirror-to-mirror width?

Only if the manufacturer explicitly defines it that way. Request an actual mirror measurement when access depends on it.
