The 2024 Toyota Venza meshes a chic and sophisticated design with a power-saving hybrid powertrain. The midsize SUV offers a plush and polished interior, combined with state-of-the-art safety and technology features, and an extraordinary panoramic glass roof capable of transitioning between transparent and frosted modes. While the Venza is built on the widely admired Toyota RAV4 Hybrid platform, it possesses a more luxurious and unique appeal. Here's a look at some of the striking features of the 2024 Toyota Venza.
Hybrid Performance and Efficiency
The 2024 Toyota Venza is equipped with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and three electric motors, together generating a total output of 219 horsepower. This SUV features a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and an electronic on-demand all-wheel-drive system, capable of delivering torque to the rear wheels as required. The Venza offers a silky and tranquil ride, with outstanding acceleration and handling.
Fuel efficiency is a key highlight of the Venza, boasting a top-tier EPA-estimated rating of 40 MPG in the city and 37 MPG on the highway. In addition, the hybrid battery warranty extends for 10 years or 150,000 miles, whichever is achieved first. The Venza also offers three driving modes - Normal, Eco, and Sport - allowing drivers to adjust throttle response, steering feel, and power distribution to suit their driving style.
Luxurious Interior and Features
The 2024 Toyota Venza boasts a spacious, tech-connected interior that comfortably seats up to five passengers. Enhanced with high-quality materials, soft-touch surfaces, and inviting ambient lighting, the cabin offers an elevated driving experience. The Venza is packed with a plethora of features designed to augment the comfort and convenience of the driver and passengers, including:
- A standard 8-inch touchscreen display, upgradeable to a 12.3-inch display, compatible with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Amazon Alexa, and SiriusXM
- A standard six-speaker audio system, upgradeable to a nine-speaker JBL premium audio system complete with a subwoofer and amplifier

A standout feature of the 2024 Toyota Venza is the Star Gaze panoramic roof, exclusively available on the Limited trim. The roof is constructed from electrochromic glass, capable of toggling between transparent and frosted modes at the touch of a button. In its transparent state, the roof invites natural light into the cabin, promoting a spacious and bright interior. Conversely, the frosted mode reduces incoming light for added shade and privacy. An additional feature of the Star Gaze roof is its power sunshade, which operates independently of the glass mode.
