2025 Toyota Venza Hybrid Receives a Complete Makeover, Albeit Only in Fantasy Land

The carmaker is hot on the trails of America's biggest automotive company, General Motors, and following great introductions from last year, such as the Grand Highlander or the returning Land Cruiser, it has already premiered the N400 Tacoma i-Force Max hybrid mid-size pickup truck, the 2025 Camry is now a completely hybrid mid-size sedan, the 2025 Crown and Corolla series are getting updates, and the 2025 Crown Signia crossover SUV or 2025 4Runner off-roader are also coming.

Naturally, all that remains is to ask about what comes next – and according to the imaginative realm of digital car content creators, we might also get to see a completely revamped, third-generation Toyota Venza mid-size hybrid two-row crossover SUV. What do you mean you forgot the Venza even existed? Shame on you because the Venza, which starts solely in hybrid form at just $35k for the 2024 model year, is one of Toyota's hidden gems.

For example, it's on the list of best gas mileage vehicles in America for the year with an average fuel economy of 39 miles per gallon – it's only bested by the Honda CR-V Hybrid, Corolla Cross Hybrid, Lexus UX 300h, or Kia Niro and Sportage in the SUV department. Also, it's quite affordable – Toyota sells the 2025 Crown from $41,440, for example.

Interestingly, we have heard that Toyota doesn't like all these qualities and plans to use the 2025 Toyota Crown Signia later this year as the default option for a stylish hybrid-only mid-size CUV with just two rows of seats. Most likely, since the regular Crown is already above $41k, the 2025 Crown Signia is not going to slot below that MSRP. Quite on the contrary, actually.

Anyway, that doesn't matter too much to the imaginative realm of digital car content creators – in this case, this pixel master actively ignores the rumor mill's report about Venza's dismissal and Dimas Ramadhan, the virtual automotive artist behind the Digimods DESIGN channel on YouTube, has taken up the task of CGI-revealing an all-new Venza hybrid CUV.

While it mostly keeps the same profile with a pointy trunk window, the CGI expert completely revamps the exterior of this hypothetical Venza hybrid crossover SUV, and the mid-size model adheres to the latest styling cues proposed by models like Crown or Prius. It's also more stylish with a dark chrome radiator grille, a matching plate between the LED taillights, and black wheels.

However, don't get your hopes up – this is merely wishful thinking, and we need to take these renderings with a healthy dose of salt as Toyota might easily axe the affordable Venza to make room for the more expensive 2025 Crown Signia later this year, What do you think?
