As one of the most reliable vehicles of all time, the Toyota Camry has been the target for opposing automakers. However, Volkswagen knows better and created a car that may have topped the most popular car of all time. It’s not entirely up to us, but we see potential for the dark horse to knock the Camry off the top spot. Judge for yourself as we compare the 2017 Volkswagen Passat vs 2017 Toyota Camry.
Standard features are more readily available in the Passat. For example, features like dual-zone climate control and available automatic braking come standard in the Passat but you’ll have to climb up a few trim levels on the Camry to find them. Those of us familiar with Volkswagen probably won’t find this surprising, but for the average car shopper, it might be a shocker to see the advantages the Passat has over the Camry. Take a look at the table below for some more match-ups.
