2024 Toyota Venza

Is the 2024 Toyota Venza a Good SUV?

"Based on the RAV4 Hybrid despite its dramatically different styling, the Venza is a bit pricier than its platform-mate. Unfortunately, it's also heavier, slower, less spacious and less versatile — it doesn't even have a tow rating. Given the RAV4 Hybrid's popularity and all-around goodness, we're not shocked that 2024 will be the last year for the Venza. Still, it's a fairly compelling small hybrid SUV on its own merits thanks to its excellent fuel economy and unique styling."—Ranked #11 out of 11 Compact Hybrid SUVs

Compared to the RAV4 Hybrid on which it's based, the Venza is a few grand more expensive, longer, heavier, slower, and less capacious inside. It's also not rated to tow anything, whereas at least the RAV4 Hybrid can tow 1,750 pounds. No great surprise, then, that 2024 is the last year for the Venza.
