NHTSA // CRASH-TESTED
2024 Toyota Venza
Federal crash-test performance, recalls, and complaints, scored into one NHTSA Safety Index.
The Toyota Venza is a five-passenger midsize SUV that returned to the U.S. lineup in 2021 after a years-long hiatus, repositioned as a hybrid-exclusive crossover aimed squarely at comfort-focused buyers who want fuel efficiency without sacrificing a refined, upscale feel. It slots above the RAV4 in Toyota's crossover hierarchy and competes in a crowded segment of style-forward, family-friendly SUVs.
The 2024 Toyota Venza earns an NHTSA Safety Index of 87 out of 100, an strong result driven by its federal crash-test stars and its recall record. It has 1 recall on record, reflected in the score.
- new and teen drivers who want standard crash-avoidance tech
- urban drivers exposed to side-impact risk
Reviewers generally praise the Venza for its composed, quiet ride and upscale cabin presentation, noting that it feels more premium than many rivals in its price range. Most acknowledge the hybrid powertrain as a highlight for everyday efficiency. Where critics push back, it tends to center on a modest amount of cargo space and a somewhat leisurely driving character rather than any fundamental concern.
