Next-Gen 2021 Toyota Venza Goes Hybrid

An interesting story is coming from Toyota. The all-new 2021 Toyota Venza will arrive as a two-row hybrid SUV. To be honest, no one predicted that this would happen, but Toyota transformed its Venza to a mid-size hybrid crossover with five seats. Venza was discounted five years ago due to not so great sales. Now, five years later, Toyota is returning this nameplate.

It will be a new-gen model with plenty of novelties. It will ride exclusively on hybrid power, and it will look more stylish. On top of that, the interior will introduce more high-quality materials and a higher level of comfort. Venza will fill the space between smaller RAV4 and larger Highlander models.

2021 Venza Styling and Dimensions

For 2021, Venza will gain a more modern and upright look. The grille is new, and it is a combination of chrome and plastic materials. Blue badge sits in the middle of the grille, and it reveals the vehicle’s hybrid characteristic. The 2021 Toyota Venza also comes with standard LED headlights and fog lights. To the sides, Venza looks elegant, and its 18-inch alloy wheels are providing sportier appearance.

As for the rear part, LED taillights are similar to the taillights on the Porsche Macan model. As we said, this crossover will slot between RAV4 and Highlander models. Venza comes with a 105.9-inch long wheelbase, and Venza will be 5.6-inch longer than the RAV4 crossover. To compare, models such as Hyundai Santa Fe, Honda Passport, and Ford Edge are all larger than Toyota’s new model.

Interior Features

The interior of the 2021 Toyota Venza will look more stylish than the cabin of the RAV4 model. This is a good thing, but the interior is still far from premium design. Still, some high-quality features are visible at first glance, and comfort is admirable. The cabin is spacious, and it will provide a room for five passengers. The cargo area has been rated at 36 cubic feet of space. Toyota will deliver a long list of standard equipment, including an eight-inch touchscreen.

Moreover, Venza will feature the latest infotainment system and driver-assistance features. Optionally, a Japanese manufacturer offers a 12.3-inch touchscreen, a head-up display, and a digital rearview mirror. Moreover, a panoramic glass roof and ventilated seats are in the offer as well.
