    Door sizes

    Would someone be able to let me know the length of the front and rear doors ? Just wondering if they are bigger than a D4 for getting in and out when in a parking space.

    The shape of the rear ones will mean the stick out more at the top but not sure if this is a problem

    How do people find it ?

    The way they are shaped means if anything access is easier in real parking spaces than the D4, so far no real issues. It does feel big, but having had a D4 since 2009 I think it is just about getting used to the differences.

    I measured this in the dark without help or the aid of a spirit level and with a metal tape that I was afraid of touching the car with!

    Thanks, that's significantly bigger than the D4, especially the front as I'm assuming the rear is to the bit the curves outwards for the sloping C pillar.

    On paper it would suggest it would be more difficult to get out in a parallel parking spot but perhaps the position of the seats relative to the door are different


    What do people think from their use ?

    I always find the thickness of the door trim almost more important than the length. Sometimes, you can get the door open quite wide but there is such deep trim on the door that you lose up to 6 inches of access space! Worth comparing that too.

    Agree, just wondering how people are finding getting in and out compared to their D4 when parked next to other cars given the increase in size of the doors
