That's just a tad longer than a north-american SUV (Escalade, Navigator) standing on it's back. Accurate to say it's a car-sized rocket.

I'm a bit confused, most cars aren't more than 3m in length. This rocket is 6.3m.
Or are there really SUVs which are > 6m in length?

Current gen Prius is about 4.5m in length, 1.8m in width, 1.5m in height. "Slightly under 5 x 2 x 1.5m" has been the standard size of a sedan for past few decades.

Huh? Even in Europe most cars are longer than 4m (a VW Golf is 4.28m for example).
