Every Isuzu Hombre 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1997–1998 | 196.5″ | 68.1″ | 62.2″ | 115.7″ | — |
| 1999–2000 | 203.5″ | 68.1″ | 62.2″ | 122.8″ | 3,283 lb |
From 1997 to today the Hombre gained 7.1″ of length (4%) and 0 lb of weight (0%). A modern compact often outweighs the mid-size car of a generation before.
Hombre year by year
Measured every model year, not just at generation changes — 4 years on record. Small moves inside a generation are facelifts; the jumps are new platforms.
| Model year | Length | Width | Wheelbase | Curb weight | Body styles |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2000 | 198.8″ | 68.1″ | 118.1″ | 3 | |
| 1999 | 198.8″ | 68.1″ | 118.1″ | 3 | |
| 1998 | 196.5″ | 68.1″ | 115.7″ | 2 | |
| 1997 | 196.5″ | 68.1″ | 115.7″ | 2 |
Will a Hombre 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 | 17 ft | Fits, with room to open the door |
| Street parking space | 18 ft | 17 ft | Fits comfortably |
| Standard parking bay width | 8.5 ft wide | 5.7 ft | Room to open doors both sides |
Against cars of the same length
Compared with 579 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 | 68.1″ | 74.8″ | -6.7″ |
| Wheelbase | 122.8″ | 117.3″ | +5.5″ |
| Curb weight | 3,283 lb | 4,330 lb | -1,047 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.
