The 2022 Toyota Venza is making the most of its second life — providing drivers with luxury styling and high-tech standard features, all paired with a hybrid powertrain.

Old Name, New Style

“Toyota offers a comprehensive suite of driver-assistance features as standard, and a host of modern amenities, including a slick electrochromic panoramic sunroof, are available, too.” — Drew Dorian, Car and Driver

Toyota revived the Venza nameplate in 2021, and the fuel-efficient midsize SUV is more versatile and luxurious than ever before. Built exclusively with an all-wheel-drive, hybrid powertrain, the Venza sips fuel much better than its V6-powered rivals, without losing any of the power or capability. Strictly a two-row SUV, it provides well-thought-out passenger and cargo space for individuals and families.

With the reimagined Venza look, comes an interior that was also upgraded. The high-class appointments found in the Venza will convince drivers that they are driving a Lexus even when the logo shows that this SUV is a Toyota.

Sumptuous Interior

“It’s like a blend of the smaller RAV4 and larger 3-row Highlander. It’s way quieter than the RAV4 inside, and its roomier cabin feels like it has a Highlander level of materials. Some say it feels more Lexus than mass-market Toyota.” — Andy Bornhop, KBB

The 2022 Toyota Venza offers an interior cabin environment that is sleek and uncluttered. The dashboard is highlighted by a large touchscreen infotainment system in the centre console and an information display in the instrument panel. The high-tech screens blend seamlessly into the design language of the Venza.

Whether for the driver or a passenger, the Venza’s seats are comfortable enough for long trips, and the driver’s seat is power adjustable on all models. In the rear, three passengers fit comfortably on a 60/40 split-folding bench, and the cargo area is roomy enough to hold several suitcases.

Technology Where It Counts

While the touchscreen display size depends on the Venza’s trim level, the system across all models is intuitive and easy to use. Many features are also standard on all models, including Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Amazon Alexa, and SiriusXM satellite radio.

Toyota also provides the most high-tech safety features on every model, giving drivers peace of mind and confidence in all driving situations, whether in busy city traffic or on wide open highways. Standard automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control all come with the Venza.

Low-Cost Driving

Every model of the 2022 Toyota Venza is built exclusively with a 2.5-litre four-cylinder gas engine and three electric motors. This hybrid setup comes standard with all-wheel drive and delivers 219 horsepower. This allows the SUV to be adequately quick in acceleration and offer performance that matches its sporty looks. It offers a tidy and confident drive, and the gas mileage (around 5.8 L/100km) cannot be discounted.

The Total Package

“Toyota isn’t known for building luxury vehicles — it has Lexus for that — but the Venza breaks that mold.” — Alex Leanse, MotorTrend

With sharp exterior styling, quality interior materials, and a hybrid powertrain that won’t have you stopping at the gas station very often, the 2022 Toyota Venza is a well-rounded midsize SUV that provides more than enough space in its two rows and more than enough features to keep drivers satisfied.
