The Toyota Venza was redesigned for the 2021 model year and is now based on the Toyota RAV4. It's available in two trim levels: LE and XLE. The LE comes standard with cloth upholstery, a eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat, a 7-inch touch screen, and Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa compatibility. The XLE adds leather upholstery, a 10-way power-adjustable driver's seat, an 8-inch touch screen, navigation, and a 11-speaker JBL audio system.
The Venza has a comfortable and commodious interior. Its seats are supportive and there's plenty of room for adults in both the front and rear. The cargo area is one of the largest in the class, and it's easy to load and unload items thanks to the low liftover height.

The Venza has a decently equipped infotainment system, but its touch screens are on the small side. The available 11-speaker JBL audio system is impressive, however.
