Cargo Capacity: which has more space?

Standard and largest cargo capacity

These two cars follow different measurement methods: VDA for the 2020 Dacia Sandero and SAE for the 2025 Toyota Camry, so instead of a direct cargo space comparison, segment averages are the best way to gauge their relative utility. The 2020 Dacia Sandero’s 328 L capacity with seats up is average for its class, and the 2025 Toyota Camry’s 428 L capacity is average for its class. The 2020 Dacia Sandero provides a way above average 1,108 L for the hatchback segment for cargo space with the seats down.

Measurements

Standard cargo capacity (VDA)

The standard cargo capacity using VDA, the method commonly used globally.

This is the manufacturer's normal published figure; it does not imply a particular seat configuration.

Parking

Will the 2025 Toyota Camry or 2020 Dacia Sandero fit in a standard parking space?

2025 Toyota Camry parking fit score

DriveSize compares the car's width and length with typical parking-space sizes by region.

Vehicle dimensions are rounded up and available side or length clearance is rounded down.

Side clearance is based on body width excluding mirrors where available; real spaces can vary because of mirrors, walls, pillars, kerbs, bay markings, and nearby cars.

OK

For an average USA / Canada space: body side clearance is 45.5 cm per side (excluding mirrors), and length clearance is 29 cm at each end.
