“Toyota Venza reinvents the segment for the modern age with a perfect blend of smart, stylish design, a refined interior thoughtfully appointed with premium materials, and cutting-edge entertainment and connectivity technology,” said Cyril Dimitris, Vice President, Toyota Canada Inc.

The Toyota Venza telegraphs its refinement and fun to drive nature with an elegant body featuring sculpted exterior lines and sleek, tapered roofline. Projector-style LED headlamps light the way while a full-width rear LED light bar leaves a lasting impression.

Inside, Venza writes a new story about premium cabins that push into luxury territory. Ambient lighting welcomes up to five adults to an interior where the careful selection of materials is matched only by exceptional attention to detail. Comfort, roominess, and versatility are evident – as the Venza sports an impressive 816 litres (28.8 cubic feet) of cargo space behind the rear seats – and the 60:40 split-folding seats offer up even more space when it’s required.

For the driver, a thoughtfully designed cockpit puts all instrumentation at a glance, and controls at one’s fingertips. Careful attention to ergonomics, visual appeal, and naturally tactile function make driving a Venza not only fun but also impressively eloquent, wherever life’s journey leads.

All models feature an impressive bundle of powerful yet intuitive technologies, including touchscreen-equipped display audio systems with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity and a multi-information display. Connected Services by Toyota bring powerful communications services to the Venza that help keep drivers safe, informed, and in touch with their vehicle and their lives. Models equipped with Audio Plus with Remote feature Remote Connect, Safety Connect, and Service Connect – while those with Premium Audio Plus with Remote & Nav add Embedded Navigation with Embedded Traffic and Weather, Destination Assist, and Map Updates.

Under the hood, the Venza is powered exclusively by Toyota’s industry-leading hybrid-electric powertrain technology. The result is advanced, confident, fun-to-drive performance and the best fuel efficiency in the mid-size two-row crossover segment. Toyota Hybrid System has been specially tailored to this model – featuring a 2.5L four-cylinder engine and three electric motors. Venza’s impressive power output is matched by equally impressive fuel efficiency: 219 horsepower, smooth yet spirited acceleration, and an estimated fuel efficiency of just 6.1L / 100km (city/highway combined) to let Canadian drivers do more with less.

With the Toyota New Global Architecture (TGNA) underpinning its design, Toyota designers and engineers crafted the Venza to maximize handling and steering responsiveness while delivering a smooth and quiet ride. For the greatest driving confidence, the Venza features Toyota’s electronic on-demand all-wheel drive system. This seamlessly switches from 100 per cent front-wheel drive to distribute up to 80 per cent of driving force to the rear wheels – delivering superior traction in inclement weather, superior handling and stability while accelerating or cornering, and enhanced fuel efficiency.

Venza’s Drive-Mode Select system includes Sport and Eco settings to tailor the vehicle’s performance to the driver’s mood and the prevailing weather and road conditions, while EV mode enables low-speed electric-only driving for short distances – ideal for parking in the garage late at night without generating noise or emissions.

Venza sets the bar high for safety with an impressive bundle of systems headlined by Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 – an advanced suite of technologies that enhance protection and support the driver’s awareness and decision-making. Other safety features on all models include the Toyota Star Safety System, the Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross Traffic Alert, eight airbags, and a backup camera.
