The current Toyota MR2 is 164.2″ long, 66.9″ wide, on a 94.5″ wheelbase, weighing 2,626 lb. Since 1985 it has grown 6% in length and gained 13% in weight. At 13.7 feet it fits a standard garage and fits a street parking space.
Every Toyota MR2 generation, measured
One row per generation. Watch the weight column — that is where most of the change happens for the Toyota MR2, 311 lb of it since 1985, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1985–1989 | 154.7″ | 65.7″ | 49.2″ | 91.3″ | 2,315 lb |
| 1991–1993 | 164.2″ | 66.9″ | 48.8″ | 94.5″ | 2,626 lb |
From 1985 to today the MR2 gained 9.4″ of length (6%) and 311 lb of weight (13%). A modern compact often outweighs the mid-size car of a generation before.
MR2 year by year
Measured every model year, not just at generation changes — 8 years on record for the Toyota MR2. Small moves inside a generation are facelifts; the jumps are the 2 new platforms below.

| 1993 | 164.2″ | 66.9″ | 94.5″ | 1 | |

Will a MR2 fit
The practical question behind every dimensions search, and for a 13.7-foot Toyota MR2 it has a straight answer. A single-car garage in the US is typically 20 feet deep and a street parking space about 18, so the MR2 clears the garage by 5.3 ft. We allow a foot of clearance in both — nobody parks to the millimetre.
| Space | Typical size | This car | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single garage | 20 ft deep | 13.7 ft | Fits, with room to open the door |
| Street parking space | 18 ft | 13.7 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 391 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 | 66.9″ | 67.7″ | -0.8″ |
| Wheelbase | 94.5″ | 98.4″ | -3.9″ |
| Curb weight | 2,626 lb | 2,756 lb | -130 lb |
A longer wheelbase for the same overall length means shorter overhangs — usually more cabin space and a steadier ride. At 2,626 lb the Toyota MR2 is 130 lb lighter than typical for its size, which generally shows up as fuel economy and stopping distance.

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, 8 measured model years for the Toyota MR2 between 1985 and 1993.
One row per generation, not per model year: manufacturers rarely change the body between facelifts, and the Toyota MR2 fits into 2 rows instead of 8. Where a generation offered several body styles, the figures are the base measurements for that generation of the Toyota MR2.
