The new Astra Militarum Hippogriff. Does anyone actually know the dimensions of this model yet?

I found an unboxing video, and I scaled the main body to the size of the sprue. Measuring a sprue of the same size, I estimate it's size to be approximately 93mm long, 52mm wide.

Buy almost any 1/48 scale WWII British armored car (ex: Humber, though I like the look of the Daimler myself).

It'll be close enough & about 1/2 the price.

Not the exact dimensions, but pics from Reddit:

When I've used historical kits for 40k I've found 1/35 generally fits better. Especially since the Humber and Daimler were pretty small vehicles
But something to look at on a case-by-case basis really.

EDIT: Although in this instance a 1/48 Humber Armoured Car matches your length/width closest
So ignore me

Judging from those pics, looks like 93x52mm is about dead-on.

I haven't put the wheels on mine yet, but I'm measuring 105x60mm. The Hippo's a really great kit, pure joy to put together.

What's the wheel space like? Is it relatively easy to chop about?

Not sure what you mean, but maybe this will help:
