Toyota Venza
The Venza made a comeback last year after a long hiatus. It went from a conventionally powered, wagon-style vehicle to a fuel-efficient hybrid SUV. That’s right: the only option under the hood is a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine paired with three electric motors. Total system output is 219 horsepower, just like the RAV4 Hybrid. There are no significant changes for 2022. All Venza models come standard with a long list of active safety features.
