What Is the 2024 Toyota Venza?
The Toyota Venza is a mid-size SUV with two rows and a standard 219-horsepower hybrid powertrain that sends power to all four wheels via a continuously variable automatic transmission. Size-wise, the Venza splits the difference between compact SUVs, such as the Honda CR-V, Hyundai Tucson and Toyota RAV4 (all of which also offer hybrid powertrains), and two-row mid-size SUVs, including the Ford Edge and Nissan Murano.

Should I Buy the 2024 Toyota Venza?
The Venza is an interesting choice for anyone in the market for a two-row mid-size SUV. It’s not exactly a Supra sports car in terms of how it gets you down the road, but the Venza delivers excellent fuel efficiency with carlike driving manners. Capable of an EPA-estimated 40 mpg in city driving and 37 mpg on the highway, the stylish Venza is definitely easy on your fuel budget. The fit and finish of its cabin is closer to a luxury crossover than most mainstream competitors, but Toyota prioritized fashion over utility, so shop a different SUV if your primary need is hauling cargo. We also found the brakes too spongy, and we disliked the rubber-band feel of the CVT. While quirky behavior from the transmission dents the Venza’s overall appeal, its pricing is more affordable than similar luxury-brand rivals.
