Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Toyota Venza than in the Volvo XC40. The Toyota Venza offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Volvo XC40, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

Convenience
Due to the larger tank size and better fuel economy of the Toyota Venza, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Volvo XC40.

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 Toyota Venza will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Volvo XC40.

Dimensions
Since the Toyota Venza is much slimmer than the Volvo XC40, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the Toyota Venza, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Volvo XC40.

Handling
The Toyota Venza has the same turning radius as the Volvo XC40, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Toyota Venza has a little less horsepower than the Volvo XC40.

Powertrain
The Toyota Venza has much lower torque than the Volvo XC40, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Toyota Venza and the Volvo XC40. The Toyota Venza has less cargo space than the Volvo XC40, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
