Safety

Because the Venza is a brand-new vehicle, Toyota loaded it with its latest safety features. The best part is that almost all these features are standard, even in the base model. The only safety features that are optional are the backup camera, high-intensity-discharge headlights and a security system.

Among the Venza’s more notable safety features is Toyota’s Star Safety System, which includes stability control with a cut-off switch; traction control, which helps make sure the wheels all maintain contact with the road; and antilock brakes with electronic brake-force distribution and brake assist to help during panic braking. The Venza is also equipped with front- and side-impact airbags, side curtain airbags for both rows and a driver’s side knee airbag. That’s seven airbags, folks!

The driver and front passenger’s seat belts are height adjustable to give you the perfect fit. While the two sets of Latch connectors are slightly buried, they aren’t hard to reach.

FAMILY LIFESTAGE

In Diapers: Wide seats and plenty of legroom allow for even the bulkiest of car seats.
In School: A flat step-in surface makes climbing in and out easy for little legs, and the back row is wide enough for three booster seats.
Teens: Multiple entertainment options and lots of rear legroom give everyone their own space.
