ANALYSISHow safe is the 2024 Toyota Venza?
The 2024 Toyota Venza achieved a Safety Index score of 87/100, marking the strongest data profile this nameplate has posted in MotorCaliber's tracking. This represents a three-point increase over the 2023 model's 84/100, placing the 2024 Venza noticeably higher within the "Strong" safety band. Crash protection contributed 61 of a possible 70 points, supporting NHTSA's 5-star overall verdict. However, the 4-star frontal crash rating and 4-star rollover risk rating indicate a modest gap from a perfect protection sub-score. The avoidance-technology sub-score stands at a perfect 10 out of 10, attributed to standard forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and electronic stability control across the model lineup. Its defect-record sub-score of 16.25 out of 20 reflects a contained single recall for this model year. This recall, shared across several Toyota nameplates, targets the instrument cluster and panel electrical system and does not carry a park-outside advisory.
