Here are some examples of turning radius specs for modern golf carts, especially models similar to what you’re interested in. This helps give a sense of what “good” tightness looks like, so you can compare when you pick one.
Turning Radius Examples from Real Golf Carts

| LVTong A827 2-seater | 2-seat standard | ~ 3.2 m LVTong Golf Cart |
| LVTong A827 4-seat | Standard 4-seater | ~ 4.65 m LVTong Golf Cart |
| LVTong C727 2-seater | Compact 2-seat | ~ 3.3 m LVTong Golf Cart |

What’s a Good Turning Radius
-
For tight spaces, narrow paths, sharp corners (like resorts, roads with small driveways, coastal setups), something around 3–3.5 m is very good. 2-seater or smaller 4-seater with compact wheelbase often achieves that.
-
Larger carts (6-, 8-seaters) will typically need more space — 5 m or more is common. They sacrifice tight turning radius for more passenger/utility capacity.
