Are Hot Wheels and Matchbox the same size?
Actually, Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars are pretty much the same size. Both brands aim for that 1:64 scale, so they're compatible with a lot of the same playsets and tracks. The bigger difference is in the style and design, with Hot Wheels focusing more on fantasy and hot rod designs, while Matchbox models are more about realism.

Nah, they're not exactly the same. While both Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars are often thought of as similar and they do both typically come in a 1:64 scale, there are subtle differences. Hot Wheels are known for their hot rod inspired designs, which means they might have larger wheels or exaggerated features that make them appear slightly larger or differently proportioned compared to the more realistic and standard models of Matchbox.
In my experience, trying to mix Hot Wheels and Matchbox on the same track can sometimes be a pain. Hot Wheels tend to have a smoother ride on their own tracks, probably because of those bigger, flashier wheels. Matchbox cars, while about the same size, just don't seem to do as well on those loopy Hot Wheels tracks.
