REVIEW: The $32,000 Toyota Venza hybrid crossover proves electrification doesn't have to be boring
But now the Venza is back and classified firmly by Toyota as a two-row crossover. From the outside, the new Venza is a "Venza" in name only. It looks nothing like the previous one. In fact, it has rather-esque lines to its sculpted rear end. Toyota's designers really pulled back on the beltline here, creating a silhouette that conveys sportiness.
All-electric driving is possible for short distances, though in a recent Q&A session, Toyota's engineers declined to disclose the range and speed limitations, if any. Rather, they said the main purpose of the all-electric driving is for coming home at night and not having the noise of the engine disturbing the neighbors, which seemed like a weirdly specific example to use.
Too often, they are dismissed as boring, unenthusiastic cars, reserved solely for people who care not a bit about having any spark of excitement in their lives. The Venza takes this notion and turns it completely on its head.It doesn't take long behind the wheel before the Venza suddenly feels like it's shrunk around you. You're left feeling like you're driving something much smaller — and lighter — than you are.
