What is the general size of a car cup holder?
2 Answers
Around 7CM to 8CM. There is no exact standard size for car cup holders as dimensions vary between different brands and vehicle models. Here's relevant information: Domestic car brands include: Wuling, Baojun, Hongqi, Changan, Great Wall, Chery, Geely, Roewe, BYD, etc. International car brands include: Toyota, Volkswagen, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai, Kia, Peugeot, Cadillac, etc. How to remove the cup holder beside the handbrake: If it's integrated with the center armrest, the entire center armrest needs to be removed. If not connected, it can be directly detached.
As someone who loves driving and road trips, I often drink water in the car, so I have quite a bit of experience with cup holder sizes. Generally, the diameter of a sedan's cup holder is around 7 to 9 centimeters, with a depth of about 10 to 15 centimeters, which can just fit a 500ml water bottle. However, SUVs or off-road vehicles often have larger holders, sometimes over 10 centimeters wide and more than 15 centimeters deep, making them suitable for large coffee cups or sports water bottles. When I last changed cars, I brought my water bottle to test it out—too big and it wobbles, too small and it tips over, making a mess in the car. There are notable differences between brands; for example, Honda tends to be standard, while Ford's are a bit wider. If you usually use large bottles, I recommend choosing a model with adjustable cup holders to accommodate different sizes. Also, remember to check the rear cup holder size—it’s more practical for long trips, not just the front ones. The design focuses on practicality, but the safest bet is to test it with your own bottle before buying, so you don’t run into issues halfway through your drive.
