2021 Toyota VENZA – ALL-NEW Toyota VENZA 2021 HD

2021 Toyota VENZA (interior and exterior) – ALL-NEW Toyota VENZA 2021 | 2021 Toyota HARRIER | Toyota HARRIER 2021 - Elegant Design Meets Cutting-Edge Tech and Comfort - Available Star GazeTM Fixed Panoramic Glass Roof with Frost Control - Available 12.3-inch multimedia touchscreen - TNGA-K Platform for Greater Driving Refinement - Hybrid Powertrain Standard - Standard Electronic On-Demand AWD - Standard Toyota Safety Sense (TSS 2.0) The 2021 Toyota Venza is on its way, marking the return of a nameplate that was canceled in 2015 in the US market. But while the resurrected crossover shares a two-row, pseudo-wagon form factor with its predecessor, the 2021 Venza is a wholly different machine under the skin, built on Toyota’s excellent modular architecture and boasting hybrid power and all-wheel drive. Good Bones Powering every 2021 Toyota Venza will be a 2.5-liter inline-four mated to three electric motors and a continuously variable transmission. Taken as a whole, the powertrain produces 219 horsepower (163 kilowatts), and Toyota claims the electric motors’ instant torque helps improve response and real-world performance. Driver-selectable regenerative braking helps improve energy collection on hills and in city traffic, reducing unnecessary wear on the brakes as well. Meanwhile, Venzas equipped with navigation systems learn the driver’s habits and schedules (commuting, weekly appointments, and the like), optimizing the hybrid system’s operation and coaching the driver for maximum efficiency. For example, if a particular intersection or stretch of highway tends to bottleneck, the Venza will recommend the driver prepare to slow down in advance, improving fuel economy. Like the Highlander and RAV4 hybrids, the Venza uses a pair of electric motors to power the rear axle through the company’s Electronic On-Demand all-wheel drive. Toyota is projecting a combined fuel economy rating of 40 miles per gallon for the base model, a number that would match the electrified RAV4. Unlike the previous-generation Venza, a V6 will not be offered. The company’s sophisticated TNGA-K platform underpins the 2021 Venza, shared with the Camry, Avalon, RAV4, Highlander, and recently revealed Sienna. Lighter and stiffer than previous Toyota platforms, TNGA has yielded better driving dynamics and improved safety for each model it anchors, and we predict the Venza to follow suit. Skin Deep Keen-eyed readers will notice the Venza is all-but-identical to the 2021 Harrier sold in other markets. The front end bears a strong resemblance to the new-for-2021 Mirai fuel-cell vehicle, which is to say it gets a large, though stylish, lower grille opening and sleek headlights. Sharp hood creases and an unusual faux grille surrounding the Toyota badge demand a closer look. With a full-width taillight, sloping hatch glass, and pinched quarter windows reminding us of the Aston Martin DBX and Jaguar F-Pace. The rear fenders and hatch have a strong and sharp character line that or
