Which is bigger, the 2025 Toyota Camry or 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe?

Key dimensions: length, width, height

With just 8.5 cm separating them, there’s little to distinguish the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe and the 2025 Toyota Camry in terms of overall length. The 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe is significantly wider, which may offer more shoulder room inside but could make tight parking garages more challenging. There is a staggering 33.5 cm between their rooflines, with the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe looming high above the 2025 Toyota Camry. The 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe sits 4 cm higher off the ground than the 2025 Toyota Camry, providing a helpful extra margin of safety when driving over gravel or light debris. There's a negligible 0.9 cm gap in wheelbase, meaning both the 2025 Toyota Camry and 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe should handle motorway cruising similarly.

Details

Doors, seats, weight, maneuverability

The 2025 Toyota Camry trades the extra access points of the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe for a more cohesive and solid body design with just 4 doors. The 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe can handle 2 additional passengers than the 2025 Toyota Camry, which is a decent step up in practicality. The maneuverability is nearly the same, with the 2025 Toyota Camry holding a slim 0.2 m turning circle advantage. At 335 kg heavier, the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe sits in a very different weight class to the 2025 Toyota Camry, something that can have a noticeable impact on performance, economy, and wear on consumables.

Parking

Will the 2025 Toyota Camry or 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe 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 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, and length clearance is 29 cm at each end.
