Volvo C40 data analysis
How Volvo C40 overall length varies
Across 4 configurations recorded for the 2021 through 2024 Volvo C40, overall length runs from 174 inches to 174 inches. The strongest figure belongs to the 2021 Volvo C40 (C40 RECHARGE) at 174 inches, and the weakest to the 2024 car (C40 RECHARGE) at 174 inches — a spread of 0%. The narrow spread means any year of the Volvo C40 in this table behaves much like the others, so you can shop on price, condition and mileage rather than chasing a particular model year.
What changed for 2024
Average overall length for the 2024 Volvo C40 is 174 inches, against 174 inches for the 2023 car — it held flat. A carry-over year like this usually means no powertrain or structural change, so an older example is the cheaper way into the same specification.
How to read this Volvo C40 data
This page lists every 2021 through 2024 Volvo C40 record we hold for this measurement — 4 rows in total, one per configuration and model year rather than a single headline figure. Figures are published as the source agency records them: we do not round, average or interpolate missing years, and a year that is absent from the table is a year with no published measurement rather than a zero. Where a manufacturer offered several drivetrains or body styles in the same year, each appears on its own row, because those variants rarely share the same numbers.
Where these Volvo C40 figures come from
Every value on this page is loaded from federal open data — EPA fuel economy submissions, NHTSA vehicle and crash-test records, and manufacturer specification filings — rather than dealer listings or copied editorial content. The Volvo C40 record refreshes as the agencies publish, which typically means new model-year rows appear in the autumn and crash-test results follow through the model year as vehicles are tested. Because certification data is filed per configuration, treat any single headline number for this vehicle with caution: the figure that applies to a specific car depends on its engine, drivetrain, body style and model year, all of which are listed separately above. If a number here disagrees with a brochure, the brochure is usually quoting the best available configuration rather than the one being sold.
Will the Volvo C40 fit your garage and parking space?
Measured against a standard single garage door (8 ft wide, 7 ft tall, 20 ft deep stall) and a standard US surface parking space (9 ft x 18 ft). Measure your own opening before buying — older garages are frequently narrower.
72.8 in wide (body only, mirrors folded) — about 23.2 in of total clearance, so roughly 12 in per side.
62.2 in tall — 21.8 in of headroom before roof rails, antennas, or a roof box are added.
174.4 in long leaves 41.6 in to spare in an 18 ft space, and 35.2 in of side clearance in a 9 ft one.
Its wheelbase (106.3 in) accounts for about 61% of overall length. A higher share generally means shorter overhangs — better approach and departure clearance on driveways and ramps, and more cabin space for the same parking footprint.
