Just measured mine - Mk3 Mondeo Estate.

44.5" between arches (maybe 45" just), 80" long.

Plus as I've mentioned before on here, 4 bikes fit in the boot with the rear seats up if you take wheels and pedals off and straps the mechs to the chainstays

I have a mondeo estate and to fir 4 adults and bike bags - I think you will be lucky with that.
Maybe if you take them out of the bags
Any 29ers ??
Can you get a bigger car ?

But careful of overloading, French and Swiss feds very hot on things like that. Four people + bikes + gear in one car? #justsaying

NO they won't fit, or maybe you could do a trial run.

Two smaller cars might be the better solution then! ๐Ÿ™‚

don't take the bike bags, get some cardboard to sandwich between the bikes. (lbs bike box) wheels and pedals off you should be ok.
things like helmets take up a lot of room, so pad them out with cloths.
