Toyota Venza vs. Subaru Outback Review

Drivetrain
The Subaru Outback's engine is slightly smaller than the Toyota Venza's, but not terribly so.

Utility
Neither the Subaru Outback nor the Toyota Venza has a marked advantage with respect to seating capacity.

Convenience
You'll most certainly take the Outback for a fill-up approximately as often as the Toyota Venza.

Dimensions
The Toyota Venza's tank is almost the same size as the Subaru Outback's, though the Subaru Outback's is a tad larger. The Subaru Outback and the Venza compete for the same parking spaces.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs approximately the same to get the Subaru Outback to the dealership as the Toyota Venza. Regarding fuel economy, the Toyota Venza is a little better than the Subaru Outback, but not by much. The Outback won't tax your gasoline budget considerably more than the Toyota Venza will. When it comes to MSRP, the Subaru costs approximately as much as the Toyota Venza (though the Toyota Venza is a bit cheaper).

Warranty
The Toyota Venza and the Subaru Outback have the same basic after-sale protection.
