2008 GAZ Siber Dimensions, Size & Specs

The GAZ Siber has a curb weight ranging between 1540 to 1555 kilograms (approximately 3395 to 3429 pounds) and a maximum weight capacity of 1920 to 1950 kilograms (around 4233 to 4299 pounds). This weight provides the sedan with a solid and stable foundation, contributing to stable handling and ride comfort. Heavier weight can impact fuel efficiency slightly, but the Siber’s balance strikes a good compromise between comfort, safety, and drivability.

The GAZ Siber provides a luggage capacity of 453 liters (approximately 15.99 cubic feet), which is generous for a midsize sedan. This volume is adequate for typical family trips, accommodating several suitcases or grocery loads comfortably. Its well-designed trunk space ensures practical usability without compromising passenger space.

The GAZ Siber typically runs on tires sized 205/65 R15 or 205/60 R16. The 15-inch tires with a 65 aspect ratio offer a taller sidewall providing a smoother and more comfortable ride, absorbing road imperfections well. On the other hand, the 16-inch tires with a 60 aspect ratio offer a bit more responsiveness and sportier handling characteristics at the potential cost of slightly firmer ride comfort.

With its length of 4858 mm (191.3 inches) and width of 1792 mm (70.5 inches), the GAZ Siber fits comfortably into a typical home garage. Standard garages often range around 6 meters (approximately 19.7 feet) in depth and 3 meters (about 9.8 feet) in width, so this sedan should allow enough space for easy parking and movement around the vehicle inside the garage.

The GAZ Siber marked a significant departure from older GAZ models, which often were larger, bulkier, and designed with heavier trucks or older sedans in mind. This particular generation of Siber, with its modern midsize sedan dimensions (4858 mm length, 1792 mm width), presented a more contemporary and streamlined size making it better suited for modern urban and suburban conditions, giving it a competitive edge in terms of maneuverability and efficiency compared to predecessors.

When compared to contemporaries like the Toyota Camry or Ford Mondeo of the late 2000s, the GAZ Siber's dimensions align closely as a midsize sedan, with a length of about 4.86 meters and width near 1.79 meters. While not the longest or widest in its segment, the Siber offers a good balance of interior space and exterior maneuverability, making it competitive and comfortable among rivals within the midsize sedan class.

Designed as a midsize sedan, the GAZ Siber prioritizes passenger comfort with ample headroom, legroom, and shoulder space for both front and rear occupants. Its dimensions and thoughtful cabin packaging assure roomy seating for four adults comfortably, accommodating typical daily driving needs along with longer trips, making it family-friendly and practical.

The GAZ Siber's curb weight of approximately 1540-1555 kg is distributed to balance stability and responsive handling. The chassis was designed to complement the sedan's midsize dimensions, contributing to a smooth ride while offering decent cornering abilities. This balance helps the Siber manage both urban roads and highways confidently without sacrificing driver confidence.

The GAZ Siber is a sedan, which typically means a three-box body style with separate compartments for engine, passenger cabin, and trunk. This structure influences the Siber’s length and interior space, offering a comfortable passenger area with a distinct trunk of 453 liters capacity. Sedans like the Siber combine a sleek design with practicality, ideal for those who prefer enclosed cargo space separate from the cabin.
