Performance
The new Toyota Venza's hybrid powertrain, generating a robust 219 horsepower, delivers a responsive and natural driving experience. It's thoughtfully tuned to prevent pitch when accelerating or decelerating suddenly, ensuring a smooth ride.
This AWD midsize SUV stands out with impressive fuel efficiency, achieving 40 miles per gallon in city driving and 37 mpg on the highway. According to EPA estimates, it attains a combined 39 mpg.
The compact yet highly efficient hybrid system incorporates three electric motors and a hybrid battery pack. One electric motor propels the front wheels, another powers the rear wheels, and the third manages accessories. An EV mode allows for a short electric driving range, adding versatility to your journeys.
When equipped with built-in navigation, Predictive Efficient Drive technology can learn driving habits and routes, proactively anticipating acceleration and braking needs. This optimizes battery usage, making this efficient Toyota hybrid SUV even more efficient.
Utility
In terms of cargo capacity, the new Venza boasts a generous 28.8 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats, offering ample room for all your belongings. To enhance storage flexibility, the tonneau cover cleverly stows beneath the deck board, allowing Venza Hybrid owners to optimize the vehicle's utility to the fullest.
With a commendable ground clearance of 7.8 inches, the Venza is primed for off-road adventures, ensuring you're well-equipped for exploration wherever your journey takes you.
The new Toyota Venza is ready for challenges thanks to its standard On-Demand all-wheel drive, firmly establishing itself as a genuine SUV. This intelligent system dynamically allocates power, distributing anywhere from 20 to 80 percent to the rear wheels. The result is heightened acceleration, impressive cornering capabilities, and reduced understeer.

Interior
As part of its premium atmosphere, every new Venza has good ride quality for passengers. This is assured by meticulous noise insulation measures, vibration mitigation, an extensive silencer pad, a well-padded headliner, and a finely-tuned suspension.
An 8-way power driver's seat comes with an automatic slide-away function, a considerate feature that ensures effortless entry and exit. Moreover, once seated, the driver can easily prompt the seat to return to a preset position by simply starting the engine.
For those who appreciate gazing at the stars, the Venza offers the Star Gaze panoramic roof, complete with a power sunshade. This innovative feature allows you to effortlessly switch between transparent and frosted modes, flooding the cabin with natural light in frosted mode without glare or heat, providing a delightful open-air experience.
Collaborating with the Lexus luxury brand, Toyota utilizes S Flow technology to ensure air conditioning efficiency in the Venza cabin. This goes beyond the excellent automatic system with dual-zone climate controls.
Inside the cabin, passengers are treated to a spacious 98.3 cubic feet of room to stretch and move. The second row offers an impressive 39 inches of headroom and 37.8 inches of legroom, providing ample comfort for long journeys.
Limited models take comfort to the next level with stylish seat bolster stitching and a power passenger seat. Notably, the front row can be power-cooled, ensuring a pleasant experience despite the Phoenix AZ summer heat.
Technology
The Venza's dashboard features an 8-inch touchscreen that offers seamless connectivity through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Toyota's Audio Multimedia system provides access to Siri Eyes Free and Google Assistant, along with HD radio and a variety of specialized apps for your entertainment.
Limited models elevate the audio experience with a JBL sound system exclusively designed for the Venza. This premium setup delivers an impressive 1,200 watts of power through a 12-channel amplifier and features 9 speakers. In addition, Limited models are equipped with a head-up display.
At the top trim level, you'll find an upgraded 7-inch driver display and a sizable 12.3-inch touchscreen that expands the infotainment system's capabilities. This larger display incorporates built-in navigation and advanced voice features.
When it comes to parking, Toyota offers an optional rearview camera cleaning system to ensure a clear view at all times. Furthermore, the rear cross-traffic alert system keeps a watchful eye on approaching vehicles from the side.
For a more advanced approach, Bird's Eye View Cameras can provide a panoramic view. XLE and Limited trims enhance safety with automatic reverse braking, triggered by the rear parking assist.
Safety
Remarkably, every new Venza comes equipped with high-speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC). This advanced technology harnesses radar precision for accurate speed control. To complement DRCC, there's the lane tracing assist feature, capable of lending a hand with light steering duties.
Always standard, Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 boasts an advanced pre-collision system with emergency auto brake. This comprehensive system operates effectively in diverse lighting conditions, adept at identifying vehicles, people, and cyclists.
Moreover, a lane departure alert feature can activate steering assistance to help the Venza stay within the lane markers. Enhancing safety further, a blind-spot monitor keeps a vigilant eye on side traffic that might be challenging for the driver to see.
In another nod to safety, drivers can opt for the digital rearview mirror, which provides a clear view of the area behind the Venza on the road. A simple flip of a switch activates a rear camera, ensuring an unobstructed view of traffic, particularly useful at night without the glare of headlights.
