Toyota's New Hybrid Coupe SUV to Replace Venza by 2026

Toyota appears to be entering a design revolution here with their new hybrid SUV. We got our first leaked images from Japanese sources of the concept more than a few weeks ago, and this doesn't look like just another Toyota. Think RAV4- but with sophistication and a little bit of Lexus drama. Sharp LED DRLs, edgy roofline, and long sweeping curves are indicative of a crossover coupe- and this hybrid looks like a crossover coupe and not a standard SUV. This is more than just looks, this is a clear indication Toyota is going to shake things up in the premium hybrid space. 

What's Under the Hood? Expect Efficiency with a Punch

This fresh SUV is more than just eye-candy, it's going to have Toyota's next-gen hybrid tech too. Rumors suggest a 1.5-liter turbocharged hybrid package like the new Harrier models. If it gets better folks, maybe there will even be a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version too with a possible 40-mile electric-only range — awesome for an everyday city commute in LA or New York. Combine that with Toyota's e-Four AWD system, and this SUV will be a superstar on the snowy roads, weekend trails or even another bragging point when shopping at Whole Foods.

A Cabin That Feels Lexus-Like — Minus the Lexus Price Tag

Once you sit down inside, you're probably going to feel like you're in a $60k luxury car. The concept is even suggesting a dual-display cockpit, high-touch materials, ambient lighting, and more. Toyota is positioning itself against those who want the offer of a Lexus, without the full price of the luxury brand. Remember leather seats with ventilation, JBL sound system, panoramic moonroof, wireless charging - you get the point. The cabin speaks to a modern technical-minded buyer who wants a cabin that doubles as a walk-in hug for the price of — well, not a walk-in hug.
