The 2024 Toyota Venza's aggressive styling borrows cues from Lexus and other luxury brands. Its interior design is upmarket too. On the downside, the Venza doesn't offer as much passenger and cargo space as its rivals, and it's not rated for towing. But if you value comfort, technology and great fuel efficiency, the Venza is an excellent pick.Read full review

Overview

The 2024 Toyota Venza is classified as a midsize SUV but it's based on the smaller RAV4 Hybrid. As a result, it straddles the line between the midsize and compact classes with mixed results. The Venza sets itself apart from the RAV4 with sleeker styling and a more refined interior, but the sloping rear roofline drastically cuts cargo capacity. Both vehicles boast exceptional fuel economy, so the Venza is a standout on that front whether you classify it a compact or a midsize SUV. This is the final year the Venza will be on sale; Toyota will instead put its efforts toward the Crown Signia. As much as we like the Venza for its comfort, fuel efficiency and sharp looks, some rivals offer more utility at a lower price point.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2024 Toyota Venza LE 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.04 per gallon for regular unleaded in the US.}

Edmunds spotlight: Fuel economy

The 2024 Venza's greatest asset is its exceptional fuel economy. It's estimated to get 39 mpg in combined driving (40 city/37 highway). That represents a huge advantage over non-hybrid midsize SUVs that range between 20 and 26 mpg combined. Even better, it's easy to achieve those impressive figures, as we averaged over 44 mpg in our real-world evaluation. There are notably few midsize SUV hybrids, and relative to the more common compact hybrids, the Venza is quite compelling.

Competitors to consider

The related RAV4 Hybrid trades interior refinement for a more accessible price and increased practicality. Among midsize SUVs, the Honda Passport is a top pick, but it isn't offered as a hybrid. We're more inclined to recommend compact hybrid SUVs that include the Kia Sportage Hybrid and Honda CR-V for reasons called out in our Expert Rating below.

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

7.5/10

How does the Venza drive? The specs for the Venza's four-cylinder hybrid powertrain don't look like much on paper, but this SUV is adequately quick in real-world acceleration. In Edmunds' testing it covered 0-60 mph in 7.6 seconds. That's a second behind the Honda Passport but quicker than a V6 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

The Venza's handling doesn't quite match its sporty looks, but it is tidy and confident as you go around turns. When you're just commuting around town, Toyota's mastery of blending gas and electric power shows through and the Venza delivers smooth and virtually lag-free acceleration.

Comfort

8/10

How comfortable is the Venza? Toyota paid special attention to dialing up the comfort level in the Venza. The cabin is well insulated from the sounds of the outside environment, and the engine doesn't have the annoying drone that it does in the RAV4 Hybrid. The Venza also delivers excellent ride comfort, feeling more like a Lexus in the way it dispatches bumps and handles highway dips.

The front seats are both comfortable and supportive. Our Limited trim test vehicle featured front seats with heat and ventilation, but we didn't find the seat ventilation to be all that effective. Thankfully, the dual-zone climate control provides more than adequate cooling. Rear passengers have pretty comfortable seats as well, with reclining seatbacks and climate control vents to ensure good air flow.

Interior

7.5/10

How’s the interior? We consider the Venza a rival to other midsize SUVs such as the Honda Passport and Subaru Outback. However, it has less interior space than those vehicles and generally matches the RAV4, which is a class size smaller. This isn't to say it's cramped inside; it's just that it's not as roomy as other SUVs in the same price range.

The rest of the interior is quite good. Toyota's latest (optional) 12.3-inch infotainment screen offers a user-friendly interface and menu structure. Below this screen are upgraded touch-sensitive controls for the climate control and radio. They work OK and are responsive, but we'd still prefer standard push-buttons and knobs.

The Venza's sleek body is relatively easy to climb in and out of and offers excellent forward visibility. The thick rear roof pillars obscure some of the natural view over your shoulder, but blind-spot warning is standard to help you out while changing lanes. Our Limited trim came with a 360-degree parking camera system that takes much of the guesswork out of maneuvering in tight spaces.

Technology

8/10

How’s the tech? Toyota has finally caught up with the industry on smartphone integration, offering Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard features in the Venza. The projection of your phone's apps doesn't use up all of the space on the optional 12.3-inch touchscreen, but it spans a good amount and leaves room for additional on-screen controls. The native navigation system isn't as elegant, quick or easy as phone-based navigation apps, but it's nice to have in case you don't have a cell signal. Four USB ports plus a wireless charger provide power on the go for all devices on board.

Toyota has also come a long way with its advanced driver aids, and many come as standard equipment. Adaptive cruise control works down to a full stop, and lane centering assist keeps you in bounds without ping-ponging off lane markers. It's one of the more comprehensive and well-executed systems in the segment.

And we'd be remiss if we didn't mention the Venza's optional tint-on-demand electrochromic panoramic sunroof. With the push of a button, you can switch from clear glass to opaque white. It effectively blocks out much of the direct sun and heat but maintains a bright cabin space.

Storage

7/10

How’s the storage? Size matters when it comes to storage, and the Venza is smaller than most in the class. The cargo area is usable and doesn't look that small in isolation, but at 28.8 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats, it trails the class by a good margin (even the RAV4 offers more space) and has a slightly awkward liftover height. The 60/40-split seats fold flat, and you can store the cargo cover under the load floor when it's not in use. A hands-free tailgate is standard, something some competitors only offer on top-trim models.

Cabin storage for small items is also limited. Most bins are smaller than those you'll find in the average midsize crossover, and the Venza even lacks overhead space for sunglasses. For those with child seat needs, things are considerably better. Anchors are easy to access and we didn't have any issues installing a large rear-facing infant seat. But drivers over 6 feet will likely need to locate the seat on the passenger side.

It should also be noted that the Venza has not been rated for towing.

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

Fuel Economy

10/10

How’s the fuel economy? The EPA estimates the Venza gets 39 mpg combined. However, we observed an impressive 44.3 mpg over our 115-mile real-world evaluation route. Granted, the Venza only comes as a hybrid, but it obliterates everything in the segment in efficiency. The next most efficient SUV is the Subaru Outback (which is considerably slower) at 29 mpg combined. If our result is an accurate representation, we expect the Venza to routinely match or exceed its EPA estimate.

Value

8.5/10

Is the Venza a good value? While the Venza's cost of entry is higher than most in this segment, it has the interior quality and exterior styling of a Lexus. You won't be able to get into a Venza for less than $33,000, but it does come with a significant number of standard features such as a full suite of advanced driving aids, LED headlights and taillights, and a hands-free liftgate. The fully loaded Limited trim is competitively priced with segment leaders too.

Additional benefits for the Venza beyond Toyota's basic three-year/36,000-mile warranty include hybrid powertrain coverage for eight years/100,000 miles. Toyota also recently extended its battery warranty coverage to 10 years/150,000 miles. Free scheduled maintenance is included for the first two years/25,000 miles, and there's roadside assistance for the first two years of ownership.

Wildcard

8/10

The Venza returned with a healthy amount of personality when reappeared in the Toyota lineup in 2021. While its aggressive new design is certainly eye-catching, it didn't move the sales needle much compared to its predecessor, and that sportier look isn't backed up by athletic performance. Sure, it's adequately quick and very fuel-efficient, but it's not the weekend-joyride type unless the point is seeing how far you can get on a tank of gas. And it certainly excels in that category, handily beating the rest of the class when it comes to fuel economy.

But if, like us, you value substance, then the Venza excels in almost all the important areas for a midsize SUV and rewards you with a well-rounded driving experience.

Which Venza does Edmunds recommend?

We recommend stepping up to the XLE trim level. For a reasonable price increase, you get several interior upgrades, convenience features, a larger infotainment touchscreen and additional safety features.

Best little SUV for the money . . .

Bob W., 05/14/2024

2024 Toyota Venza Limited 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

I just replaced a 2018 Highlander Platinum with a 2024 Venza Limited. When I first went to the dealer, I test drove the new Highlander and a 4Runner, with intentions of just buying the Highlander. The new Highlander had a four-cylinder engine, which seemed under-powered, not smooth, and extremely noisy. My 2018 was far superior to the 2024 version. The 4Runner was also very loud and … had a bumpy ride, not to mention a gas guzzler. I test drove the Venza, which was not only more comfortable, but a lot quieter and seemed peppier. When I heard that 2024 was the last year it would be sold in the US, I decided to buy it while I still could. I read all the reviews and YouTube videos I could find on the car before I made my final decision. It seems like most people who bought a Venza are very pleased with it. I didn’t want to wait for the new Crown Signia, which looks like a tall station wagon (not to mention it will likely cost thousand more than the Venza). I’m old and retired, but I’m not ready for a Crown quite yet. I wanted to address something that was described as a negative in many of the reviews, the storage space. This vehicle seems like it was intentionally designed this way. It appears to be designed to look like a sporty coupe and may be intended for people who do not want or need a traditional large SUV. If one needs that much storage space, they would likely be looking for a larger SUV, truck or minivan anyway. As a recent retiree, I have no plans to haul furniture, large volumes of luggage, or much of anything else beyond golf clubs, a suitcase or two, and an occasional trip to the big box hardware store. For my requirements, I prefer the sleek look of the unique sloping roof line to another generic hulking, square SUV. It still has more space than a traditional sedan, especially with the rear seats folded, which is all I am looking for. The same can be said for the lack of towing specs. I doubt the target market for this vehicle would ever want to tow large trailers with it. I have not found the engine to be that noisy, also a point mentioned in some of the reviews. You can hear it under full acceleration, but it doesn’t seem to be straining, and the 0 to 60 performance tracks similarly what I experienced in my 2018 Highlander V6, only with double the gas mileage. It moves seamlessly between gas and electricity, which I really enjoy. I found the interior to be comfortable, and very upscale. I especially like that the center console is padded where my knee rests against it when I am using the cruise control and don’t have my foot on the gas. I opted for the glass roof, and at my age, I didn’t want an open sunroof where the sun would bake my balding head. I love being able to turn it opaque and still enjoy the light. The one thing mentioned frequently are the climate control buttons. I think Toyota was trying to give this car a very “high-tech” vibe, and that is likely why they included touch-capacitive controls as opposed to plastic buttons, in the higher trims. While I like the look and feel of real buttons, at least no dirt will get stuck between them. They do seem to work well and are very easy to clean. I appreciate the Softex seats instead of real leather. On my old Highlander, the leather faded to a yellowish color in the sun and started to crack. The Softex has the feel of leather, but with the durability of a Gore-Tex coat. Toyota is also known for making this material with less toxic chemicals than many other manufacturers, which is a “green” bonus. The exterior of the car has one feature I like that I never see mentioned in any reviews. The front hood opening is recessed behind a soft plastic material that is like the bumper. The rocks hitting the car will hit this part first, much like a rock deflector. It is an easier part to replace or paint than the basic metal hood found at the front of most cars, saving a little wear and tear on the edge of the hood. There are only a few things I don’t like about the car. In the rear seating area, there are no side shades, which would have been any easy thing to include at little cost. Also, there are no climate control buttons, only vents. The addition of these two items would have made the rear seating area a little more upscale to match the rest of the vehicle. My largest complaint is with Toyota itself. They seem to have way too many “subscription” services that should be included at no charge. They are trying to extract every revenue stream from the customers they can to increase their profits. When my trial period ends for these “features,” I will not be renewing them.

2023 Toyota Venza LE 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

I traded my 2017 Lexus RX350 for the 2023 hybrid Venza. While not as posh the Venza’s driving characteristics are similar to the Lexus and it has more technology and driver safety features in a slightly smaller package. Best of all my current overall efficiency since buying the Venza is 40 plus miles per gallon.

I won’t go into details offered by other reviewers other than to say I agree with them.

Toyota Venza vs. Honda Passport

The Honda Passport remains our favorite in the midsize SUV class, which is impressive since it's been able to fend off newer rivals. Its potent V6 engine is more capable than the Venza's hybrid powertrain, though the Venza clearly has better fuel economy in its favor.

Toyota Venza vs. Kia Sportage Hybrid

The Venza is on the small side for a midsize SUV while the Kia Sportage Hybrid is on the large side for a compact SUV, making them comparable in many ways. Even so, the smaller Kia delivers more rear passenger space and a much larger cargo capacity than the Toyota. Power and fuel efficiency are similar, though the Sportage Hybrid is slightly more enjoyable to drive.

Toyota Venza vs. Honda CR-V

The Honda CR-V with the hybrid powertrain is another compact SUV worth considering against the Venza. We like it for its intuitive tech interface and high levels of comfort, but it's weaker and slower than the already middling Venza. Fuel economy is comparable, but the CR-V holds an advantage with its much larger cargo capacity.
