Will the 2023 Hyundai Palisade or 2025 Toyota Corolla Cross fit in a standard parking space?
2023 Hyundai Palisade parking fit score
DriveSize compares the car's width and length with typical parking-space sizes by region.
Vehicle dimensions are rounded up and available side or length clearance is rounded down.
Side clearance is based on body width excluding mirrors where available; real spaces can vary because of mirrors, walls, pillars, kerbs, bay markings, and nearby cars.
For an average USA / Canada space: body side clearance is 38.5 cm per side (excluding mirrors), and length clearance is 25 cm at each end.
