Is a garage interior depth of 570 cm sufficient for future cars?

Hello everyone,

we are currently planning to build a double garage with a storage room and are unsure about the interior depth of the garage. Unfortunately, we cannot build indefinitely (compliance with floor area ratio etc.) and have therefore currently considered an interior measurement of 570cm as a compromise. Do you also consider this sufficient for cars? Of course, more is always better, but that is not the question. Unfortunately, I can't find any information about vehicle lengths with the tailgate open, for example, a Skoda Superb Combi is already 486cm long, with the trunk open probably another 30cm (?!) longer. Then I need space to load and also 14cm in the front to avoid hitting the wall. Let's say 70cm remain for loading. With a stroller and so on, it will probably get tight in the garage, I suspect, without having tested it.

What is your experience?
Thank you

Your question is almost unanswerable. You mention 570 cm, one can guess that you mean the length, and a compromise (but between what?). We do not know how the spatial composition relates to each other, where the passage to the storage room is located, whether you drive into the garage v/v, r/v or r/r with the cars, etc. In your thread history, there is not a single planned house yet - so do you now want to put the cart before the horse?

Are there plans/sketches? The longer the garage, the "better". However, the width of the garage should also be considered. DG then means 2 "gasoline donkeys", right?

If you want to load the Superb comfortably with the door closed, stroller, suitcase for vacation trip, etc., in my opinion it should be at least 6 m.

I still remember loading the car with the gate open. Or driving it out of the garage for vacation. I am old :oops:

If you want to load from the back with a stroller and so on, I would rather be concerned about the width of the garage. A double garage with two cars and walking paths around each to maneuver with the stroller will already be quite a large room. Otherwise, the 570cm should be enough, although possibly tight.

I still remember loading the car with the gate open. Or just driving out of the garage for vacation. I am old :oops:

It doesn't have to be that the whole street/area, passing cars notice that you are going on vacation. And if it rains while loading the car....(that doesn't have to happen...) Basically load the car unnoticed and drive off on vacation unnoticed....
