Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will feel a little more squished in the Toyota Crown than in the Volkswagen Arteon, due to the Toyota Crown's smaller rear head- and legroom. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Volkswagen Arteon, the Toyota Crown may be a little roomier and more comfortable for the driver and front seat passengers.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Toyota Crown as you will with the Volkswagen Arteon, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the Toyota Crown will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Volkswagen Arteon.

Dimensions
The Toyota Crown is a little narrower than the Volkswagen Arteon, so you'll have an easier time getting in and out of the car in a tight parking spot. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Toyota Crown, which is slightly longer than the Volkswagen Arteon.

Handling
The Toyota Crown has a smaller turning radius than the Volkswagen Arteon, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Toyota Crown is significantly less powerful than the Volkswagen Arteon. The good news is that, reportedly, cars with lower horsepower engines often have lower insurance premiums.

Powertrain
The Toyota Crown has much less torque than the Volkswagen Arteon, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Toyota Crown and the Volkswagen Arteon.
