After a six-year hiatus, Toyota Venza resurfaced for 2021.

The 2022 Toyota Venza is a midsize SUV that comes with more standard features than most in its segment. It is offered exclusively as a hybrid with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine (219 hp total output) and all-wheel drive. It comes in three trim levels: LE, XLE and Limited.

The hybrid midsize two-row SUV comes with an impressive EPA-estimated 39 mpg in combined driving.

Other SUVs in the class are estimated to return only 20 to 25 mpg. On top of strong fuel economy, the Venza comes standard with all-wheel drive, and its hybrid powertrain keeps things quiet and calm for a more luxurious experience.

As a hybrid, the 2022 Toyota Venza can be more expensive than some rivals, but owners are likely to recover the initial cost in the form of savings at the gas pump in a short time.

In terms of utility, though, the Venza isn’t as strong as the competition. The interior space is smaller than average and the Venza’s not rated for towing duties.

If you put a higher priority on spaciousness and hauling, you might be better served by one of Venza’s chief rivals — the Honda Passport, Hyundai Santa Fe or Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport.

Overall we consider it a great choice for those looking for more efficiency and luxury.
