2021 Toyota Venza

Blog Nov 28th, 2020

All-New, All-Different and Ready to Impress (+video)

The 2021 Venza, which arrives in Toyota dealerships this summer, is built around a version of the Toyota New Global Architecture K platform that underpins some of the company’s sedans and crossovers. As such, Venza delivers the best of both worlds: sedan-like driving comfort and SUV versatility.

The all-new 2021 Venza comes equipped exclusively with the Toyota Hybrid System II powertrain and advanced Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive. Along with comfortable urban and highway performance, Venza is expected to have impressive fuel efficiency, with a preliminary manufacturer-estimated 5.9 L/100 km combined fuel consumption in LE trim.
The 2021 Venza offers ample room for five in a highly manoeuvrable package. A host of available tech-focused features, including a 12.3-inch touchscreen display with nine JBL speakers, 7-inch multi-information display (MID), digital rear-view mirror, a 10-inch colour head-up display, and other available features, including a Star GazeTM fixed panoramic glass roof, a first-ever for Toyota, and heated and ventilated front seats that set the stage for true, graceful grand touring.

In addition to exemplary collision protection provided by the TNGA-K platform, the 2021 Venza comes standard with Toyota Safety Sense (TSS 2.0), a comprehensive suite of active safety systems that includes:

Pre-Collision System with Daytime/Low-Light Vehicle and Pedestrian Detection, plus Daytime Bicycle Detection (PCS)
Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC)
Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist (LDA w/SA)
Automatic High Beams (AHB)
Lane Tracing Assist (LTA)

The 2021 Venza offers cutting edge entertainment and connectivity through intuitive and versatile Toyota audio systems. Audio Plus with Remote is standard on LE and includes an 8-inch touchscreen. Premium Audio with Remote and JBL is standard on XLE and Limited and features a stunning 12.3-inch touchscreen display with Embedded Navigation and controls that can be switched between driver or front passenger operation.

In addition to AM/FM radio, Toyota audio systems serve up a full roster of connectivity tech, including Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ compatibility, Bluetooth wireless technology, and more. Apple CarPlay™ compatibility includes access to Siri, while Android Auto™ users can access Google Assistant.
Visibility Through Technology
Venza’s top innovation is literally found on top of the vehicle. In a first for Toyota, the 2021 Venza offers an available Star Gaze^TM fixed panoramic glass roof. The Star Gaze^TMelectrochromic glass technology allows drivers to switch from transparent to frosted modes within one second using the ON/OFF button. In the frosted mode, Star Gaze^TM brightens the interior while reducing direct sunlight, giving the cabin an even more open, airy, and inviting feeling.

All-Wheel Drive at its Smartest
The 2021 Venza comes standard with Toyota’s Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive, a highly efficient system that takes maximum advantage of the hybrid powertrain’s benefits. Instead of using a transfer case and driveshaft to the rear wheels, Electronic On-Demand AWD employs a separate rear-mounted electric motor to power the rear wheels when needed.
Space for What Matters
Venza offers 1,027 litres (36.3 cu. ft.) of carrying space behind the second row. The lithium-ion battery pack is small enough to be installed under the rear seats, so it does not take up any cargo or passenger space. The standard tonneau cover can be stored in the storage space beneath the deck board when not in use.
