What is the Toyota Venza?
The Venza is a mid-size crossover with a raised body and a cabin designed for everyday passenger use. Toyota introduced it in North America as a blend of car-like comfort and SUV utility. When the name returned, the Venza took a more efficiency-focused role in Toyota’s range, with a hybrid-only powertrain in the United States.
Venza generations
The first generation ran from 2009 to 2015. After a gap, the second generation arrived in 2021 and continued through 2024. The original Venza came with petrol engines. The later model had a more streamlined shape and, in the United States, Toyota paired it exclusively with its hybrid system.
Engines and power
Across US and Canadian listings, engine sizes range from 2.5 L to 3.5 L. US listings include petrol and hybrid versions, while Canadian listings specify petrol. The range reflects the different powertrains offered across the two generations.
How economical is the Venza, and where was it sold?
US EPA figures span 2009–2024 and give the Venza a best combined rating of 39 MPG, with a lowest listed consumption of 6 L/100 km. Canadian NRCan figures cover the same years and list a lowest consumption of 6.1 L/100 km on the 5-cycle test. EPA and Canadian 5-cycle procedures differ, so the results are not directly comparable. The Venza was sold in the United States and Canada.
