The current GMC Jimmy is 178″ long, 67.7″ wide, on a 100.4″ wheelbase, weighing 3,847 lb. Since 1994 it has grown 2% in length and gained 12% in weight. At 14.8 feet it fits a standard garage and fits a street parking space.
Every GMC Jimmy generation, measured
One row per generation. Watch the weight column — that is where most of the change happens, and it is the number that decides fuel use, tyre wear and how far the car takes to stop.
| Generation | Length | Width | Height | Wheelbase | Curb weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1994 | 173.6″ | 65.4″ | 64.2″ | 103.9″ | 3,446 lb |
| 1995–1998 | 178.3″ | 67.7″ | 66.1″ | 103.9″ | 3,576 lb |
| 1999–2000 | 184.3″ | 67.7″ | 65″ | 107.1″ | 4,004 lb |
| 2001–2004 | 181.1″ | 67.7″ | 64.6″ | 103.9″ | 4,081 lb |
| 2005 | 178″ | 67.7″ | 64.6″ | 100.4″ | 3,847 lb |
From 1994 to today the Jimmy gained 4.3″ of length (2%) and 401 lb of weight (12%). A modern compact often outweighs the mid-size car of a generation before.
Jimmy year by year
Measured every model year, not just at generation changes — 12 years on record. Small moves inside a generation are facelifts; the jumps are new platforms.
| Model year | Length | Width | Wheelbase | Curb weight | Body styles |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2005 | 178″ | 67.7″ | 100.4″ | 1 | |
| 2004 | 181.1″ | 67.7″ | 103.9″ | 2 | |
| 2003 | 181.1″ | 67.7″ | 103.9″ | 2 | |
| 2002 | 181.1″ | 67.7″ | 103.9″ | 2 | |
| 2001 | 181.1″ | 67.7″ | 103.9″ | 2 | |
| 2000 | 181.9″ | 67.7″ | 104.3″ | 5 | |
| 1999 | 181.9″ | 67.7″ | 104.3″ | 5 | |
| 1998 | 180.7″ | 67.7″ | 103.9″ | 4 | |
| 1997 | 178.3″ | 67.7″ | 103.9″ | 4 | |
| 1996 | 178.3″ | 67.7″ | 103.9″ | 4 | |
| 1995 | 178.3″ | 67.7″ | 103.9″ | 4 | |
| 1994 | 173.6″ | 65.4″ | 103.9″ | 4 |
Will a Jimmy fit
The practical question behind every dimensions search. A single-car garage in the US is typically 20 feet deep; a street parking space is about 18. We allow a foot of clearance in both — nobody parks to the millimetre.
| Space | Typical size | This car | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single garage | 20 ft deep | 14.8 ft | Fits, with room to open the door |
| Street parking space | 18 ft | 14.8 ft | Fits comfortably |
| Standard parking bay width | 8.5 ft wide | 5.6 ft | Room to open doors both sides |
Against cars of the same length
Compared with 903 vehicles within ten inches of the same length — a fair proxy for «cars of this size», regardless of what the marketing calls them.
| Measure | This car | Typical car of this length | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Width | 67.7″ | 70.9″ | -3.2″ |
| Wheelbase | 100.4″ | 104.7″ | -4.3″ |
| Curb weight | 3,847 lb | 3,336 lb | 511 lb |
A longer wheelbase for the same overall length means shorter overhangs — usually more cabin space and a steadier ride. Lighter than typical for its size generally means better fuel economy and shorter stopping distances.

How we measure
Dimensions come from NHTSA vPIC and Transport Canada vehicle records — manufacturer-declared figures, held in metric and converted to inches and pounds for display.
One row per generation, not per model year: manufacturers rarely change the body between facelifts, and a table of forty near-identical rows helps nobody. Where a generation offered several body styles, the figures are the base measurements for that generation.
