2021 Toyota Highlander Reviews SummaryToyota hardly needs any help selling three-row Highlanders. It already sits close to the top of the sales charts for its segment, and few vehicles carry the name recognition as the Highlander, which enters into its 20th year of production. But the three-row marketplace is a competitive one, and even after a 2020 redesign, Toyota would be foolish to rest on its laurels. As such, the Highlander enters this year with additional safety-feature technology listed as standard equipment. | |
2022 Toyota Venza Reviews SummaryIs it an SUV? Is it a wagon? Does it matter? The 2022 Toyota Venza is a midsize two-row SUV with a hybrid gasoline-electric powertrain, including a 2.5-litre gas engine, electric motors, a continuously variable transmission (CVT), and standard all-wheel drive (AWD). It comes in three trim levels starting at $38,890 in Canada. Natural Resources Canada estimates the Venza can achieve fuel economy as low as 5.9 litres per 100 kilometres in city driving, 6.4 on the highway, and 6.1 combined. | |
