Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Subaru Outback than in the Toyota Venza. The Subaru Outback will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Toyota Venza.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Subaru Outback as you will with the Toyota Venza, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

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). When looking only at MSRP, the Subaru Outback will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Toyota Venza.

Dimensions
The Subaru Outback is a little wider than the Toyota Venza, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Subaru Outback, which is slightly longer than the Toyota Venza.

Handling
The Subaru Outback has a smaller turning radius than the Toyota Venza, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Subaru Outback has a little less horsepower than the Toyota Venza.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the Subaru Outback transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the Toyota Venza.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Subaru Outback and the Toyota Venza. With the Subaru Outback, you'll be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the Toyota Venza.
