What are the dimensions (length, width, height) of a minivan?
2 Answers
The dimensions of a minivan are generally 3.90M in length, 1.60M in width, and 1.91M in height. Taking the BAIC Weiwang M20 as an example, here are its specific details: 1. Powertrain: The BAIC Weiwang M20 is equipped with two engines, a 1.5L and a 1.5L VVT, both derived from the Toyota 5A+ platform. 2. Features: The M20 comes standard with a rear parking radar across all variants, while higher-end versions include a multifunction steering wheel, in-car navigation, an onboard computer, and more. The 7-inch touchscreen display in the M20 offers various functions such as radio, MP5, GPS navigation, Bluetooth hands-free calling, USB, and miniSD card slots.
From my experience driving a van for transportation, size is indeed quite crucial. Generally, van lengths range from 4.5 to 5.4 meters, widths from 1.7 to just over 2 meters, and heights from 1.8 to 2.4 meters. For example, the one I use at home is 4.8 meters long, 1.85 meters wide, and 1.95 meters tall. It's manageable in the city, but you need to pick wider parking spots to avoid the risk of scratches and bumps. When the height exceeds 2 meters, you have to watch out for height-restricted barriers. It's more suitable for hauling goods in rural areas, but the higher wind resistance increases fuel consumption. Nowadays, newer van models are optimizing their dimensions. Compact versions, like those around 4.6 meters long, are great for quick delivery turnarounds. The size also affects interior space design—too narrow, and the back seats feel cramped; too long, and turning becomes inconvenient. Before buying, it's wise to measure your garage door height to ensure the van fits. A test drive to check if the size matches your needs is always a smart move.
