Golf cart dimensions: how wide, long and tall a cart really is

A standard two-passenger golf cart is about 47 to 48 inches wide, 92 to 96 inches long and 68 to 72 inches tall at the roof. Four-passenger carts keep the width and run about 108 to 130 inches long. A 4 to 6 inch lift with 22 inch tires adds 7 to 10 inches of height. If you are asking how wide a golf cart is because you are measuring a garage, a trailer or a cover, those are the numbers; the rest of this page is the exceptions.

This is one of the owner guides. How much a golf cart weighs is the other half of the trailer question, and the covers and weather guides are where the measurements get spent.

Typical dimensions

Cart	Width (body)	Length	Height (roof)
Two-passenger, stock	47 to 48 in	92 to 96 in	68 to 72 in
Two-passenger with rear flip seat kit	47 to 48 in	108 to 112 in	68 to 72 in
Factory four-passenger	47 to 49 in	110 to 130 in	70 to 75 in
Lifted two-passenger, 4 to 6 in lift, 22 in tires	47 to 48 in body, 54 to 60 in at tires	92 to 96 in	76 to 82 in
Lifted four-passenger street build	54 to 60 in at tires	110 to 130 in	78 to 84 in
Six-passenger	47 to 49 in	140 to 160 in	72 to 78 in

Width at the body and width at the tires are different numbers. A stock cart’s tires sit roughly flush with the body, so 50 to 52 inches across the tread covers it. Lifted carts on wheels with negative offset push the tires out to 54 to 60 inches, which is what you measure for a trailer and an enclosure. Wheelbase on nearly every two-passenger cart is 64 to 66 inches, which is why rear seat kits and lift kits cross over between makes more than you would expect.

Dimensions by make

Rounded from the makers’ published figures for recent model years; older carts in the same family are within an inch or two. Heights are with the factory roof.

Model	Width	Length	Height
Club Car Precedent	about 47.5 in	about 91.5 in	about 68.5 in
Club Car Onward, four-passenger	about 48 in	about 111 in	about 72 in
EZGO TXT	about 47 in	about 94 in	about 70 in
EZGO RXV	about 47 in	about 94.5 in	about 70.5 in
Yamaha Drive2	about 47 in	about 94 in	about 70.5 in

The Club Car DS, EZGO Marathon and Yamaha G-series are within those ranges too: a DS is about 47 inches wide and 91 inches long, a Marathon a touch shorter, a G16 about 47 by 93. If you need the exact figure for your year, the fitment pages for Club Car, EZGO and Yamaha list the model years, and the maker’s spec sheet for that year is the source. Measure your own cart before you order anything that has to fit it; a previous owner’s extended top, rear seat or lift changes everything below.

Garage doors

A standard single garage door is 7 ft (84 inches) tall and 8 or 9 ft wide; a double is 16 ft wide. Every stock cart fits with 12 inches or more above the roof and plenty of width. A lifted cart at 78 to 82 inches clears a 7 ft door by two to six inches, which is enough until someone adds a roof rack, a light bar or an extended top. An 8 ft (96 inch) door clears anything on this page.

Measure your actual opening, not the door panel. Door tracks and the header seal hang below the nominal height on many garages, and the opener’s rail sits in the middle of the ceiling a few inches lower than the door. Length is rarely a problem: a 96 inch cart leaves 12 ft of a 20 ft bay for the car in front of it, and a 130 inch four-seater leaves 9 ft, which is tight behind a full-size pickup.

Trailers

The 5 by 8 utility trailer (60 by 96 inch deck) fits a two-passenger cart with the tailgate ramp up and nothing to spare in length; most owners buy the 5 by 10 so they can walk around it and strap all four corners. A four-passenger or lifted cart wants a 6 by 10 or 6 by 12, both for the 110 to 130 inch length and for the 54 to 60 inch tire-to-tire width on a lifted cart. Width between the trailer’s fenders on a 5 ft trailer is often 58 to 60 inches, so a lifted cart on offset wheels can touch; measure both.

Height on a trailer adds the deck (about 18 to 24 inches off the ground) to the roof, so a stock cart on a trailer is about 7.5 to 8 ft tall and a lifted one 8 to 9 ft. That matters at a drive-through, a parking garage and the carport you planned to leave it under.

Covers, enclosures and tops

Storage covers are sold by cart length, and the labels follow the sizes above: “two-passenger” covers fit carts up to about 96 inches, “four-passenger” or “extended” covers fit up to about 112 to 120 inches, and some makers list the exact length they fit. Lifted carts need a cover sold as lifted or tall, because a standard cover ends above the tires on a lifted cart and the wind gets under it. The rain and storage cover guide sorts them that way.

Enclosures are more particular, because they attach to the roof and the body. They are sold by make, model, two or four passenger, and often by roof length (a standard 54 inch roof versus an 80 inch extended top on a four-seater). A four-passenger enclosure on a two-passenger cart with a rear seat kit sometimes fits and sometimes does not, depending on whether the roof was extended with the seat. The enclosure guide and the roofs and extended tops page explain which roof you have and what hangs from it.

Windshields are the easiest fit: they are sold by model and year, and the width is the same across a model family.

Ground clearance and lifts

A stock cart has about 4 to 5 inches of ground clearance under the differential and rides on 18 inch tires. A 3 inch lift kit with 20 inch tires adds about 4 inches total; a 4 to 6 inch lift with 22 inch tires adds about 7 to 10 inches of height and 4 to 6 inches of clearance; a 6 inch lift with 23 inch tires is the tallest common build and brings the roof to about 82 to 84 inches. The lift kit guide covers the kits, and the weight page covers why a taller cart tips sooner on a side slope. Before you order a lift, measure your garage opening from the floor to the lowest point of the header or the opener rail, then subtract the height of the cart; what is left is how much lift you can buy.
