For everyday use vehicles would normally be measured in metres, eg 5.2 metres. This is the measurement that you would supply to a ferry or truck transporting firm for example. On the other hand, if components of the vehicles construction are being measured, as in the distance between seats etc, then it is more usual to use millimetres as this measurement is more exact.

How many milliliters is in centiliters?
There can be no equivalence. A centimeter is a measure of length or distance in 1-dimensional space, while a milliliter is a measure of volume in 3-dimensional space. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, any attempt at conversion from one to the other is fundamentally flawed. If a length could be converted to a volume, then you would be able in principle to calculate how many gallons tall you are.
