Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Toyota Venza than in the Lexus NX 350, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Toyota Venza offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Lexus NX 350, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

Convenience
With the Toyota Venza, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Lexus NX 350, due to its tank size and fuel economy.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Lexus NX 350 is somewhat more expensive than the Toyota Venza.

Dimensions
The Lexus NX 350 is about the same width as the Toyota Venza. When looking at overall length, the Lexus NX 350 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Toyota Venza.

Handling
The Lexus NX 350 has the same turning radius as the Toyota Venza, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Lexus NX 350 has a little more horsepower than the Toyota Venza.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Lexus NX 350 does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Toyota Venza.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Lexus NX 350 and the Toyota Venza. The Lexus NX 350 has less cargo space than the Toyota Venza, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
