2021 Toyota Venza (Global Harrier)

[suxeL]

This Venza is one of my favorite SUV's, has a perfect combination sporty looks with some classy lines!

Even the interior, looks so well made it's amazing it's a Toyota.

Looks and feels like a Lexus GNA-K product inside,

They won't be available until NOVEMBER?!

I guess being sourced from Japan AND being a whole new model AND Covid pushed back the on lot dates

 

[Gecko]

I guess COVID indeed. Toyota's press materials stated "Coming summer 2020."

If we can't have sedans, I'll take lowered CUVs. That looks great.

That matte black really accentuates the body lines. Venza is a stunner!

 

[suxeL]

ISF like tailpipes yet this is a hybrid? Body effects are great, just get rid of those fake tips.

Toyota claims the Venza's battery is newly-developed Li-ion. But for some reason it's still only 3.7 Ah for a 0.96 kWh capacity. So apparently Toyota now has four different Li-ion cells for HVs:
3.6Ah (Prius/Corolla hybrid/C-HR hybrid/Crown hybrid/Lexus 500h, 2016)
3.7Ah (Harrier/Venza hybrid, 2020)
4.0Ah (Camry, 2018)
4.2Ah (Yaris hybrid, 2019)

Why do they have four different battery specs?! That just sounds like a logistics nightmare. One would think Toyota likes to standardize everything? And why does a new design have less capacity than older design?

And BTW these tiny capacities are fine because the C-rate is ridiculously high. They drain quickly but charge quickly too.
