Details
Doors, seats, weight, maneuverability
The 2025 Toyota Camry trades the extra access points of the 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan for a more cohesive and solid body design with just 4 doors. Neither holds an advantage in passenger count, as both have a maximum of 5-seats. The 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan needs only a whisker more room to U-turn at 0.3 m wider, a difference you’d rarely notice in daily driving. The 145 kg weight difference is enough to influence fuel efficiency and brake wear over the long term.
