The 2019 Audi RS 3 comes with all wheel drive. Available transmissions include: 7-speed automated manual.Minor adjustments to package features.Fixed sport suspension now available as stand-alone option.
Pros Potent acceleration and heaps of traction Well-trimmed cabin Enough practicality to serve everyday use Attractive, easy-to-use infotainment system
Cons Snug back seat and small cargo area Ride quality might be too firm for casual drivers Front seats sit too high for tall occupants Some driver assistance systems, such as adaptive cruise, are optional
Overall, an excellent car, even considering the high price given the size. It has a well-rounded set of features, and when performance is taken into account, some would even argue that it is good value for money. Definitely well worth a drive!
pros Excellent power and performance; Five-cylinder exhaust sound is unique; Interior fit and finish typical high Audi quality; Chuckability around tight roads; Sharp looks both inside and out
Cons Turbo lag (which may be a pro for some!); Transmission logic in Comfort mode; Software bugs in engine and transmission control units; Lack of electric seat adjustability; No puddle lights
Pros Awesome turbo five-cylinder, planted yet playful chassis, lovely cabin.
Cons More engine noise please, big price for a small car, cramped back seat.
While the Venza is a new entry in Toyota's 2021 SUV lineup, it revives a name that was retired after the 2015 model year.The new 2021 Venza will slot between the compact RAV4 and the mid-size Highlander SUV in Toyota's lineup. It's based on the Harrier SUV that Toyota sells abroad, which we always thought would make a fine SUV for the North American market; apparently Toyota agrees. Unlike the Harrier, which is sold with both hybrid and conventional non-hybrid powertrains, the U.S. market Venza will be powered exclusively by a hybrid system.
The all-new 2021 Toyota Venza is a hybrid crossover with solid fuel economy ratings, an upscale cabin, and comfortable seats. However, it also has less cargo space than many rivals and lacks athleticism.
Pros Posh interior Roomy, supportive seats Cushioned ride
Cons Some usability issues with the larger infotainment screen Subpar cargo capacity and high cargo hold load floor Not as fun to drive as rivals
All-new midsize SUV. Available exclusively as a hybrid. Kicks off the second-generation Venza.
Pros High fuel economy Standard all-wheel drive Luxury-level interior quality Quiet and comfortable ride
Cons One of the smallest midsize SUVs Higher cost of entry Not rated for towing
The 2021 Toyota Venza brings an upscale flair to the compact crossover class to go with its efficient and reasonably powerful hybrid powertrain.
Pros Hybrid powertrain has enough guts and thrifty fuel economy Looks like a Lexus Fancy interior finish Standard active safety features Standard all-wheel drive
Cons Less room than RAV4 Can top $40,000 Slushy acceleration Tight rear seat head room
