A Toyota first, Venza Limited features an available Star Gaze™ fixed panoramic glass roof with frost control. Electrochromic glass technology allows you to switch from transparent to frosted mode – which reduces direct sunlight, giving the cabin an even more open and airy feel. All with a simple push of a button.
Venza’s interior pushes into luxury territory with its premium materials, including available Softex seats, and exceptional attention to detail. Ambient lighting welcomes you to a driver-focused cockpit, elegantly equipped with impressive technology, like an available 12.3” touchscreen display, climate control system operated with intelligent-touch capacitive controls, and Star GazeTM fixed panoramic glass roof with frost control.
With 1,027 litres (36.3 cu. ft.) of carrying space behind the second row, Venza offers plenty of room for everything from sports equipment to week-end get-aways. The 60:40 split-folding rear seats open up even more options for bringing friends or family along for the ride, or the goods you’ll need for whatever adventure you’re on.
Relax in the comfort of standard heated, 8-way power adjustable drivers seat, with an auto-slide-away function that automatically moves the seat to the rearmost position to ease your entry and exit. Venza XLE and Limited feature heated and ventilated front seats, plus driver seat memory with 4-way lumbar support, and 4-way power front passenger seat, all wrapped in Softex, with unique seat bolster stitching for an added touch of style.

Venza’s on-demand AWD system works automatically, seamlessly, and transparently. When not needed, 100 percent of torque is sent to the front wheels, enhancing fuel efficiency. When required, up to 80 percent of driving force can be distributed to the rear wheels, using a dedicated rear-mounted electric motor. The result is superior traction in inclement weather, and superior handling and stability when accelerating and cornering.
Venza’s refined and intuitive driving experience starts with its Toyota New Global Architecture platform (TNGA-K). Coupling high-strength with a low centre of gravity, Venza delivers smooth acceleration and crisp, responsive handling. MacPherson strut suspension up front, and mutli-link in the rear, contribute to Venza’s smooth and quiet ride.
With the simple twist of a dial, you can tailor Venza’s performance personality. SPORT mode sharpens throttle response for more high-spirited performance. ECO helps to maximize mileage from the fuel and battery. EV mode allows electric-only driving at low speeds for short distances. While NORMAL is ideal for everyday driving.
From sound-absorbing insulation around the engine compartment, to strategic use of sound-blocking and sound-absorbing material throughout the vehicle, Toyota engineers have fashioned a cabin of exceptional quiet, all so that you can better enjoy the journey.
These different drive modes utilize and compartmentalize different functions on the car to produce three different behaviours:
Ideal for short distances the vehicle will run on the electric motor exclusively.
Automatically manages the fuel inputs and optimizes the air conditioning system for maximum fuel efficiency.
A reactive gas pedal and no organizational changes to the function of your vehicle. Essentially the mode to get the most power.
Venza’s hybrid battery recharges on the go, using innovations like regenerative braking to capture and transform energy into electricity and store it in the battery.
Venza’s high-performance battery is designed to last. And Toyota hybrids require no additional routine maintenance. In fact, they follow the same maintenance schedule as our conventionally-powered vehicles.
Over 98% of the Toyota & Lexus hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) sold in Canada since 2001 have never had their original battery replaced. All hybrid components are backed by an 8-year or 160,000 KM warranty. Starting with 2020 model year HEVs, hybrid batteries are now covered by an extended warranty – 10-years or 240,000 KM, whichever comes first.
All 2021 Venza models come standard with TSS 2.0 – an advanced suite of active-safety technologies and capabilities designed to enhance protection and support your awareness and decision making under a variety of conditions and contingencies.
Features include:
Venza’s Blind Spot Monitor alerts you to the presence of vehicles that may have entered the blind spot on either side of the vehicle, helping to make lane changes safer. While Rear Cross Traffic alert warns you of approaching cross traffic while backing up. Standard on all models
Venza’s Bird’s Eye View Camera gives you a live, rotating, 360° view of your surroundings when parked – and includes a rear camera cleaning system to help keep the lens clear of mud, snow, and water droplets. Standard on Venza Limited.
Intelligent Clearance Sonar (ICS) uses sensors to scan for stationary objects that might be in your way. Then warns you with audible and visual alerts. Standard on XLE and Limited models.
Working in tandem with ICS, Rear Cross Traffic Brake (RCTB) both warns you of approaching cross traffic, and can automatically apply the brakes if the system determines that a collision is imminent. Standard on XLE and Limited models.
