In addition to the space needed for your car, you may want to consider additional space for storage or other activities. It is important to ask yourself what you want from your garage. Do you want to use it for storage, as a workshop, or for other activities? This will help you determine the additional space you need.
For a hatchback, a small garage with dimensions of 17 feet in length and 10 feet in width would be suitable. This size provides enough space for most hatchback cars, which typically have a maximum length of 13.1 ft. and width of 5.82 ft.
For a sedan, a medium sized garage with dimensions of 20 feet in length and 11 feet in width would be appropriate. This allows ample space for most sedans, which have a maximum length of 17.92 ft., and width of 7.12 ft.
