PLANO, Texas (Oct. 4, 2023) – The Toyota Venza is the all-Hybrid crossover that’s in a league of its own. Exclusively available as a Toyota Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV), it can make the best of every ride with a manufacturer-estimated 39 combined MPG. Add in elegant crossover style, a tech-focused interior, and standard Electronic On-Demand All Wheel Drive (AWD) and it’s a package that is both distinctive and practical. Available in LE, XLE, and Limited grades, as well as the uniquely stylish Nightshade edition.
Based on the XLE trim level and available in three exterior colors, the Venza Nightshade features blackout trim for a distinctive presence.
The Venza’s undeniably eye-catching design combines with a fashionable, quiet cabin for a package that makes an impression. Its stunning alloy wheels, LED projector headlights, and continuous, thin rear LED taillights give Venza a strikingly modern look. While the Toyota HEV System and standard AWD give it a blend of efficiency and utility that’s at home on long road trips or during inclement weather.
The 2024 Venza Nightshade Edition is available in three premium exterior colors each boldly accented by an array of black trim for the interior: Celestial Black, Wind Chill Pearl & Ruby Flare Red. The Nightshade shows a true designer touch, starting with the acrylic front grille trim, black-painted outer mirror caps, door handles, rocker panels and available black roof rails. The lower bumpers are complemented in front and rear by smoked chrome moldings as well. The black shark fin antenna is a crowning touch.
All three colors of 2024 Venza Nightshade Edition ride on 19-inch gloss-black multi-spoke aluminum alloy wheels. LED fog lamps, standard on XLE and Nightshade, shine bright through the darkness. For Nightshade specifically, this can also be paired with the available Star Gaze™ Panoramic Roof.
> SOLID FOUNDATION
Venza is assembled on the Toyota New Global Architecture K (TNGA-K) platform that underpins many of the company’s sedans and crossovers, including luxury models. As such, Venza delivers the best of both worlds: sedan-like driving comfort and CUV versatility.
Providing ample room for five in a highly maneuverable package, the Venza offers a host of available tech-focused features, including a 12.3-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia display with an available nine speaker JBL Premium Audio system, 12.3-inch full digital instrument cluster, digital rear-view mirror and 10-inch color Head-Up Display.
> HIGH-MPG HYBRID AS STANDARD
The Toyota HEV System in the Venza combines a high-efficiency 2.5-liter DOHC four-cylinder engine with three electric motors and a lithium-ion battery in a highly compact system. The gas engine employs Variable Valve Timing-intelligent system by Electric motor (VVT-iE) on the intake camshaft and VVT-i on the exhaust camshaft. A variable cooling system (electric water pump and electric thermostat) and a fully variable oil pump further help improve engine efficiency.
Selectable NORMAL, ECO and SPORT driving modes let the driver tailor the Venza’s performance personality.
SPORT mode - Enhances and sharpens throttle response, making fuel efficiency more fun
ECO mode - Changes the throttle and environmental logic to help the driver focus on maximizing mileage from the fuel and battery.
NORMAL mode - Ideal for everyday driving.
Additionally, EV mode allows electric-only driving at low speeds for short distances.
> READING THE ROAD FOR MAXIMUM MPG
Venza’s Predictive Efficient Drive (PED) technology uses navigation system operation to analyze driving habits and memorize road and traffic conditions to help optimize hybrid battery charging. When the driver selects PED, the system learns repeating routes and is designed to predict when and where the vehicle is likely to slow down or stop. Then, through optimum accelerator pedal release timing guidance, PED can help the driver to reduce energy consumption.
> SMOOTH, CONFIDENT DRIVING
Extensive use of high-strength steel gives the TNGA-K platform inherent strength to allow front strut and rear multi-link suspension tuning that fosters handling agility while providing a quiet, supple ride. Bolstering Venza’s handling, an electronically controlled brake system features Active Cornering Assist (ACA) that engages vehicle stability control to reduce understeer in certain cornering situations.
The 2024 Venza LE comes equipped with 18-inch multi-spoke two-tone alloy wheels, while XLE and Limited come standard with 19-inch multi-spoke metallic-finished alloy wheels. The Nightshade Edition features exclusive gloss black versions of the 19-inch wheels.
> HYBRID ALL-WHEEL DRIVE
Taking maximum advantage of the HEV powertrain’s benefits, the standard Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive employs a separate rear-mounted electric motor to power the rear wheels when needed. The system works seamlessly and transparently, preemptively distributing up to 80% of driving force to the rear wheels to help suppress front wheel slip during off-the-line starts. The system also enhances cornering agility by helping to reduce understeer.
Torque distribution varies with conditions, from 100:0 in constant-speed driving to 20:80 on slippery surfaces. The driver can view torque distribution on the Multi-information Display and audio system screen.
> CALM & COLLECTED FOR THE LONG DRIVE
The 2024 Venza provides a gratifyingly quiet cabin atmosphere. Critically, Toyota engineers focused on creating a calm interior conducive to enjoying easy conversation or hearing music in clearer detail.
The high-strength TNGA-K platform is the first defense against noise intrusion, curbing vibration through the steering, floor and structure. Suspension tuning resists road surface disturbances, helping to reduce tire noise via strategically placed insulation. An acoustic glass windshield helps minimize wind noise intrusion. Sound-blocking and absorbing insulation and body sealing material are placed throughout Venza’s structure, under the carpeting and above the headliner.
> LUXURY SEATING
Venza provides exemplary comfort with a standard 8-way power driver’s seat on all grades, with an eight-way power passenger seat on Limited. The power driver’s seat automatically moves to its rearmost position to make entering and exiting the vehicle easier. The next time the Venza is started, the seat moves to the last position set by the driver.
SofTex®-trimmed seats come standard on the XLE, Nightshade, and Limited grades, with fabric-trimmed seats standard on the LE. The XLE, Nightshade, and Limited come with heated front seats that can be adjusted in three levels. Ventilated front seats, standard on Limited, draw cool air from the air conditioning system into the seat for added comfort. Venza employs S-FLOW air conditioning technology that first appeared on Lexus models. The system directs cooling air only to occupied seats, enhancing comfort and helping to reduce energy consumption. On the Limited and XLE with a 12.3-in display, the climate control system is operated with Intelligent Touch capacitive controls.
> SPACE FOR WHAT MATTERS
The Venza doesn’t take up a lot of space outside yet provides generous space inside. Venza offers 28.8 cu. ft. of carrying space behind the second row and 55.1 cu. ft. total with the rear seatback folded. When not in use, the standard tonneau cover can be stored in a space beneath the cargo area deck. Cupholders can accommodate large drink sizes, while the center stack tray can handle the large mobile phone models. Door bottle holders can take 24-oz bottles.
> TOYOTA AUDIO MULTIMEDIA ON A BIG SCEEN
The 2024 Venza offers cutting edge entertainment and connectivity through intuitive and versatile Toyota audio systems. The 8-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen is standard on LE including a 6-speaker audio system with 4-channel amplifier for clean, powerful sound for all types of music. The XLE comes with a 12.3-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen as standard. All Venza models come with the Toyota Audio Multimedia system, upgraded USB ports with one USB Type-A and two USB Type-C ports as well as an updated fourth-generation Qi wireless charger.
The new Toyota Audio Multimedia allows for dual Bluetooth® phone connectivity, with support for standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility. With further connectivity, the Venza has an available Wi-Fi Connect subscription that offers 4G connectivity for up to five devices – turning the Venza into an AT&T Hotspot.
JBL Premium Audio System, optional on XLE and standard on Limited, features a stunning 12.3-inch touchscreen display. Ardent music buffs will love this sonically stunning system, uses 9 speakers, including a rear subwoofer, powered by a 12-channel, 1,200-watt amplifier.
The Venza LE and XLE grade feature a 7-inch color Multi-Information Display, where a Hybrid System Indicator shows the driver system output and regeneration status to encourage eco-driving habits. Limited will be upgraded to a 12.3-inch full digital instrument cluster that features four different visual modes for a personalized touch: Casual, Smart, Tough and Sporty mode.
> HIGH-TECH VISIBILITY
The 2024 Venza Limited grade comes with a 10-inch color Head-Up Display standard, which projects vital information at eye level, including speedometer, hybrid system indicator and TSS 2.5 functions. The Venza’s available digital rearview mirror with HomeLink universal transceiver helps the driver see what’s behind the vehicle. At the flip of a switch, the mirror provides the driver with a wide, unobstructed view from a rear camera. The mirror also helps reduce glare from headlights. To further aid outward visibility, the Limited grade comes standard with Panoramic View Monitor with Perimeter Scan, which provides a panoramic overhead view of the vehicle’s surroundings. Rain sensing wipers are standard on the Limited grade.
The standard backup camera features projected-path and dynamic gridlines, while an available rear camera cleaning system sprays washer fluid to clear away water droplets, mud, snow and snow-melting road treatments from the lens. A standard hands-free power liftgate can be set to lock automatically upon closing. For additional convenience, XLE and Limited grades come standard with a Smart Key System that works on all four doors and the rear liftgate.
