ᐅ Is an interior garage depth of 570 cm sufficient for future cars?

Hello everyone,
we are currently planning to build a double garage with a storage room and are unsure about the interior depth of the garage. Unfortunately, we cannot build endlessly (due to site coverage ratio, etc.) and have therefore considered an interior depth of 570cm (224 inches) as a compromise. Do you also find that sufficient for cars? Of course, more space is always better, but that’s not the question here.
I couldn’t find any information about vehicle lengths with the tailgate open. For example, a Skoda Superb Combi is already 486cm (191 inches) long, and with the trunk open, it’s certainly about 30cm (12 inches) longer. Then I need space to load, plus about 14cm (6 inches) in front to avoid hitting the wall. That leaves approximately 70cm (28 inches) for loading. With a stroller and so on, I suspect it will get cramped in the garage, although I haven’t tested it yet.
What has been your experience?
Thanks

Why is there a door on the right now?
The first sketch shows a door height of 90cm (35 inches).
Explain how you get into the garage. Through the house (on the right), through the storage room (top left), or through the open garage door? 🙄
And when the family comes home with an SUV or station wagon, at least the passenger has to get out before the garage. The same applies in reverse when leaving. I still don’t understand how you even get into the garage!
Please show the house/garage layout or at least explain...

Show the house/garage… or at least explain it… See my post from yesterday at 12 PM.
“I enter the garden and the house on the right side. I have a strangely shaped plot, please don’t ask 😀”
If the layout stays as is, I will arrange the cars differently. The second car, which is rarely used, will go in the corner, and the SUV in the middle. That way it’s easier to get in and out, even from inside. But maybe I can improve the width a bit by optimizing the floor area ratio. It’s not so easy with all the countless regulations.
Ah, okay. You already have an outdoor "walk" from the house to the garage? 😀
