Cargo Capacity: which has more space?
Standard and largest cargo capacity
Comparing 428 L (SAE) to 690 L (VDA) is difficult due to the differing measurement methods, but the 2025 Toyota Camry’s seats up capacity is average for its size class. The 2024 Volkswagen Passat has 1,920 L (VDA) of cargo space with its seats down, which is way above average compared to the class average for estate.

Parking
Will the 2025 Toyota Camry or 2024 Volkswagen Passat 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.
For an average USA / Canada space: body side clearance is 45.5 cm per side, and length clearance is 29 cm at each end.
