2021 Toyota Venza

 It's back and better than ever with new party tricks to show off.  The redesigned mid-sized SUV Toyota Venza for 2021 comes with aggressive/upscale styling, standard AWD, luxury-level interior, quiet and comfortable ride, only a Hybrid and it is really a lot of fun to drive. 

The Venza is the total package and is zeroing in on being the leader in its class. You and yours will nod your head in agreement when you see and drive the Toyota Venza for 2021 with the friendly folks at Hixson Toyota Leesville located at 11981 Lake Charles Highway in Leesville, Louisiana or by calling the dealership at 337.239.3434 and see if it meets your expectations.  The bet is on that it will in spades.



First, this mid-sized SUV comes with more standard features than most in its segment.  The new Venza if offered exclusively as a hybrid with all-wheel drive and the cabin is like a Lexus at a Toyota price.  Also, it is the first Toyota to offer the optional electrochromic panoramic sunroof called the Star Gaze.  With just a flip of a switch, the sunroof's glass panels go from transparent to opaque and is only found until now on luxury cars.  Really cool.

Also making your time fun and efficient behind the wheel is an 8.0-inch touchscreen that sets proudly atop the Venza's dashboard.   A much larger 12.3 screen is available on the XLE and standard on the Limited models. The seats are very comfy, and the interior is just bursting with upscale premium features.  Everything is focused on the driver. Standard on all trims is Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa connectivity as well as SiriusXM satellite.  Even the base LE model gets you Toyota's full suite of advanced driver aids, a hands-free liftgate, LED headlights and a slew of safety features. 

All Venza's use a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with two electric motors that send power through a smooth shifting CVT automatic.  That combo gives the Venza 219 feisty ponies and 40 mpg combined city/highway driving with the power to surprise.  Another big plus is the Toyota Venza's bold styling with curves in all the right places, especially from the rear. 

Crisp lines combined with an aerodynamic shape that will turn heads but is more than just a pretty face as it checks all the boxes from comfort to gas economy.  It is no wonder Consumer Reports recently awarded the Venza the coveted Check Mark for a Recommended Vehicle with high grades in owner satisfaction and reliability.

The next step is just to see if all this is really true and the easy way is to drive a Toyota Venza  that fits your budget and styling.  No better time than now to put that important “fun factor” back into your drivetimes.
