Toyota Feature's
Distinct style meets cutting edge technology and is the perfect combination of both smart and stylish. The Hybrid powered, 5 passenger midsize crossover comes with a multitude of tech-focused features that include a 12.3-inch touchscreen display, nine JBL speakers, a 7-inch multi-information display, digital rear-view mirror and 10-inch color Head-Up Display. Other available features include a first ever for Toyota, Star Gaze™ fixed panoramic glass roof and heated and ventilated front seats.
Hybrid Leader
While the EPA has yet to release official numbers the Venza is expected to have impressive fuel efficiency. The manufacturer estimates a 40 MPG combined fuel economy which is almost double that of other two-row mid-size SUVs such as the Honda Passport and Ford Edge. The Venza has 219 total system horsepower and a low-speed torque electric motor to boost acceleration and responsiveness. The hybrid power system optimizes both levels of electric motor assistance and gas engine RMP without the engine running at high revs. This yields effortless and quiet acceleration with the newly-developed lithium-ion battery to enhance performance and size and weight.
Reading the Road
Toyota Venza’s Predictive Efficient Drive analyzes driving habits using the navigation system by memorizing road and traffic conditions that help to optimize hybrid battery charging. The PED system learns repeated routes and predicts where and when the vehicle is likely to slow down and stop which helps to reduce energy consumption.
Toyota Limited Warranty
To cover all components other than normal wear and maintenance items Toyota is providing 36-month/36,000 mile basic new-vehicle warranty. Toyota also provides a 60-month warranty to cover the powertrain for 60,000 miles also against perforation from corrosion for 60 months with no mile limitation. To cover the HV battery additional coverage of 10 years /150,000 miles, whichever comes first and is also transferable across ownership. The 2021 Toyota Venza comes standard with ToyotaCare. The complimentary plan that covers normal factory-scheduled maintenance for two years or 25,000 miles, whichever comes first. Two years of Roadside Assistance also comes standard regardless of mileage. Starting sticker price is anticipated to fall between $28,350 and $38,200 and will be offered in LE, XLE, and Limited trims. Needless to say, Venza raises the standards of what a hybrid crossover should be.
