For more than 20-years, Riverhead Bay Volkswagen has served the Long Island area, offering an assortment of Volkswagen vehicles, including the new Volkswagen Passat. We're excited about the 2021 Passat and ready to help you test-drive a new model, just like our customers in Riverhead and Sayville, NY. To make your buying decision easier, we've compared the Passat to the Camry, and here's what we found!
Pricing, Performance, and Fuel Economy
The Passat and Camry are great mid-sized sedans, but the differences are notable. The MSRP for the Passat is $2,000 less than the Camry, starting at $25,000; the Camry's MSRP is around $27,000.
The Passat engine is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder producing 174-horsepower, 206 pound-feet of torque, and 24/36 mpg (city/highway). In contrast, the Camry offers two engines that produce between 202-301-horsepower and a fuel economy of 28/39 mpg (city/highway).
Seating and Cargo Space
Both the Volkswagen Passat and Toyota Camry accommodate five passengers, yet the cargo area in the Passat is slightly larger and holds more.
Safety and Technology
Safety features and entertainment in the Passat and Camry vary according to the trim. Passat trims have standard features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a sunroof, adaptive cruise control, remote start, keyless access, push-button ignition, blind-spot monitor, lane-keeping assist, and automatic emergency braking.
Camry drivers get other features, which include Amazon Alexa compatibility, automatic high-beam headlights, road sign recognition, and forward collision mitigation.
Our ruling? The VW Passat Is the Better Choice for Long Island Drivers
Our side-by-side VW Passat versus Toyota Camry comparison reveals that the Passat is more affordable, offers more standard features, includes more safety and entertainment components, and offers much more cargo space.
