@DIY OVERDRIVE Thanks for the kind words!
Tommy, please sit in the passenger seat up front and see if your head clears sitting upright.
Looks like the Toyota version of the RX 450h. Whats the difference?
Hi, man how you doing? I'm from Bangladesh & I'm a regular viewer of TFL. I really like the way you demonstrate all the information. It's really useful as well as appealing.
As a follower I wish you best of luck also hope that you will continue & make us happy.
Here is a very small clip of previous generation of HARRIER that help you to know that it has some own features which carried over to the 2021 Venza/ Harrier.
People of Bangladesh are pretty much crazy about this gorgeous beauty.
Bye bye & T. C.

the accelerator pedal is hinged on bottom to avoid the mat or other items getting lodged under the pedal. This is to avoid the unintended acceleration problem that many car manufacturers have had. smart toyota!
I am not sure did Toyota gap & lower the brake pedal properly. Lots of cars with this design is nightmare to brake......
Probably as good an explanation as any.
@@carbrickscity Well your not really gonna look at the pedals so the way it looks doesn't matter.
www.manufacturing.net/automotive/blog/13110434/the-2009-toyota-accelerator-scandal-that-wasnt-what-it-seemed
It's not actually smart. Quite the opposite. They could have just made floor mounted pedals like many car manufacturers have done for years. This look silly. Not that most people care though.
This car is called Harrier in Japan. The first Harrier made its debut in the United States as the Lexus RX. From the 3rd generation, Harrier and RX are separated. So,in effect, this Venza originally drew the blood of the Lexus RX.
I concur lol...in UK its a lexus
Do they have PHEV in 🇯🇵.?
We are here called Harrier
In other countries where there are predominantly (very) used, either are taken in as 4 to 8 year olds.
@@nvn2005 Not set yet. In Japan, 4 cylinders are set as the base.

I drove a 2022 Venza today. It has fog lights and removes side badges. It pretty peppy. Very comfy seats. I like it a lot, minus the lack of real buttons and volume knob. Also the Venza can’t tow; unlike the RAV4. The Venza 9 speaker JBL stereo sounds great.
our v6 awd 2009 with the 20s still looks modern today even after 11 year
I’ve got a 09 4 cry’ 4 wheel drive and still looks new to!
Ongkon Deb still loving my 2010 V6 RAV. Still super fast too.
My mom used to drive an RX330. I loved it's quiet comfort and elegantly simple, understated design. The newer models seem less apealing. Lexus tried to make all their cars apealing to young buyers. Unfortunately, they lost their traditional buyers.
Just purchased a 2021 with 54k miles. Drove it 90 miles on driver assist and what a drive! It kept it's distance from other vehicles and maintained speed once cleared. Of course you have to occasionally move the steering wheel with your fingertips to let it know you are paying attention. It's not a fully autonomous vehicle as it has difficulty differentiating lanes when exits comes up and breaks up rhe the line of sight the radar uses. Otherwise a beautiful drive.
Volume on the steering wheel is what I use and the sound system is pretty good. The sound doesn't center perfectly and wanders a bit but it's not too shabby.
The ride is sublime soaking up all the bumps and road imperfections. Coming from a Ford F-250 it's a dream ride.
One thing I wish was better is the seating. The bottom is a lot too soft and my 230lb weight is definitely planted IN the seat a bit too much for my liking.
Otherwise a very nice Toyota. The best I've had and I've had Lexus RX 350, Toyota Sienna and my forst car ever sooo many decades ago the 89 Toyota tercel hatchback. We have come a long ways.
I live in Pakistan and watch your channel often. 4 years back I bought the previous Gen harrier, imported into Pakistan without any backup or warranty..... Since then have driven this hybrid a 100+k without needing to visit a garage..... Just the regular liquids change..... I've always owned at least one Toyota and it's never ever let me down..... This Venza, looks very similar to what I own and IAM sure it's buyers will drive it trouble free..... Maybe forever 😀

Looks good, but Toyota get rid of those god-awful capacitive buttonless touch surfaces. Plus, they beep every time you touch them. Very annoying. I think even the new Corollas have real buttons and knobs once again.
I work for Toyota in sales and I can tell you you can go into the settings menus and delete the audible beep for the buttons
Jason Jenista it’s not the sound that is the problem. People hate not having actual buttons and not having a volume knob is terrible Which is why Honda went back to knobs. People kept complaining
@@jasonjenista Thanks for the info. But the beeps are there for a reason: to give feedback that the "button" was tapped. Some capacitive "buttons" also have nubs on them to give tactile feedback on where the "button" is (I don't see that here). So to emulate a real button, manufacturers have to implement a beep noise (or haptic feedback which I don't think is the case here) that the "button" was tapped plus maybe a physical nub to give feedback on where the "button" is. All of that instead of actual physical buttons which worked fine and were far more simple. So either get annoyed with all that beeping or turn it off and have no immediate feedback that a "button" was tapped at all. Got it.
Agreed who thought going to capacitive touch was a good idea just using in the dark the testing should have realise it wasn’t a good idea bring back buttons and switches for heating/ac controls
I have a new Corolla hatchback, and I can confirm, there are real buttons for HVAC and to control the volume. I'm someone who's always playing around with the volume and the climate control. I like having tactile buttons, because I can make adjustments without taking my eyes off the road. I would not even consider buying a car where everything is controlled through the touchscreen, because it's a huge safety issue.
I bet the pedal is attached to the floor to keep the floor mat from getting behind the pedal. Toyota has a history of floor mat issues.
Consumer Reports shows pricing for the 2021 at $29,065 - $39,940
I like the older style though with the 21" RIMS. I have a 2010 V6 and still rock solid. Not ever I plan to trade it in or replace, keeping it for loooong time!
X2 same 2011 Venza v6 just replaced alternator but the car is comfortable!
I got a 2009! Most solid ride I have ever had just hit 100k miles😎👍
Toyota would have us believe the Venza is sized between the RAV4 and the Highlander which is not true. It’s built on the RAV 4 platform and so has the same wheelbase, is slightly lower, and has less cargo room so, one could argue it’s actually smaller than the RAV 4. The accelerator pedal is hinged at the bottom to prevent the floor mat from getting underneath it. You’re probably too young to remember the huge Audi issue of unintended acceleration which nearly destroyed Audi in the U.S. After much investigation it was determined to be caused in part by floor mat interference.
Can’t stand all-touch panels, and kind of a make or break for me. Keep the knobs!
I love a good knob, but I love a good car too... unfortunately in 2020 the 2 rarely come together
Facts, these cars are turning into cell phones.
@M_Bergeron
TOYOTA HAS OTHER MODELS YOU KNOW...
It’s 2020... evolve.
The car he’s reviewing has JBL system with a 12.3” touchscreen.
However...you can opt for the regular 8” touchscreen.
Mine is the 12.3” and I love it!
Learn where your stuff is, and you don’t have any reason to not like it!!
12:30 probably the only Venza video to show you the spare wheel!
I like the look of the older wagon style much better.
Wagons rule!
My mom currently has a 2010 Venza and I could easily see her upgrading to this Venza. Overall, it seems that Toyota did well with this vehicle and can see people really considering this if they are looking at the Lexus RX.
The Venza is very nice and is on my short list for my next vehicle. I was going to go with a RAV4 hybrid but don’t care much for the look of it. However the RAV4 Prime has my vote also for the power output. The Tesla model Y is on my list also but I’m not sure about dropping 55K on it. My wife doesn’t like the shorter driving range of the Y (real world driving range of 250 miles). I will have to wait and see.
If you want the prime RAV4, I think it will be hard to get for a while.
Vikes 2 Agreed, I believe it will be very difficult to get it the first 2 years. All the auto reviews said they will be in very limited supply. I don’t intend tp pay near or over MSRP, so the Venza may be a good alternative. I’m on my 2nd Toyota hybrid and I am very happy about their reliability.
Vikes 2 all primes at the dealer I work at are all sold. We have more customers coming every day getting mad cause they can’t get their hands on the RAV4 prime
Definitely will be tough to get the RAV4 Prime. And you know that they'll be priced over MSRP. And depending on how your local Toyota does in overall sales, your region may only get a handful.
NijaBoiTellEm I am sure for the first year they will be hard to get and priced over MRSR by dealers. I was afraid the 2nd year will be just as bad. So I am keeping my eyes on the Venza also. I like the power from the RAV4 Prime more.
11:33 longest third brake light
Lincoln: Am I a joke to you?
😆😂
Lmao
Escalade
Haha
FYI when you see blue around the Toyota emblem it’s a hybrid
I should've known… 🤯
No duuu
I'll wait for the prime version.
Tbh, I love the New Venza...
the 1st one was great too
I like the styling. If only it was available as a non-hybrid or as a performance hybrid. I think that this car will sadly drive like a luxurious Prius.
@@JDMHaze Yea
@@foxfff123123 mhm.
@@foxfff123123 well in Japan they have a non hybrid version of the Venza (Harrier) but it has a naturally aspirated 2.0L 4 cylinder tho so you're better off with the hybrid
Tommy breaking in the new shirt.
Yup. With buttons. 😉
I just bought the XLE Venza, in Blizzard Pearl.
Absolutely LOVE it!
I do wish there was a bit more storage spaces for some things.
But having a FASTER hybrid is all that mattered to me!
I traded my 2019 RAV4 XLE Premium for my Venza.
The RAV4 was laggy in power. Was struggling to find gears. Was HORRIBLE on mpgs!
P.S. my VENZA has heated and ventilated seats...no weird insert. All leather...which is perforated.
The car you’re reviewing has weird seats.
The sloping rear design takes design cues from the first and second generation Harriers, or known as Lexus RX in the US.
After the third generation Toyota differentiated the design and platform from RX, by using a smaller RAV4 / NX platform.
Also only in this third generation uses a 2.0T engine from NX.
Doug: Features and Quirks because it's his schtick. Tommy: Features and quirks because driving impressions are embargoed until later in the month.
My 2019 Avalon XSE has the JBL 1,200 watt 14 speaker system. I do like the looks of the new venza. Wish it used the v6 hybrid system from the Lexus though.
Ryan Hamill how does it sound? Redline reviews said its pretty average and that is a big deal breaker for me.
@@AP-qu8sl That's because that idiot will say or complain about anything just to hear his own voice. It's a great system.
Chef Corey-Joshua Nobles great, thanks!
@@AP-qu8sl out of all the modern stock systems i have heard and i have rented a good amount an driven a good amount of newer cars and trucks and SUVs this is the best. i havent been in any 60K + cars with $5,000+ systems but its way better then most other stock systems.
Ryan Hamill ok great. Tesla model Y is now sub 50k so that’s again some confusion. Thanks for your reply
I think I'm still aiming for the Rav4 Prime personally, but this does have a better exterior look imo
Richard Nedbalek whoa, thanks for the heads up. Guess I’m screwed lol
Richard Nedbalek Only for this year, they’re hoping to increase production to about 20,000 I think next year
I like it! Just not a fan of having turn signals so low, which makes it harder for other people to see when they are behind you. Many times I have been behind a Kia/Hyundai (don't remember which) at a red light and can't see the turn signal until they pull off because it is so low.
Quite a mix of features on your XLE tester. No sunroof at all, but you get folding mirrors and a giant touch screen. Normally Toyota saves those for limited models only. I like when you can actually get a mid level trim and choose which upscale options you want. Well done Toyota.
The bottom hinge on the gas pedal probably grew from the stuck pedal lawsuits. People put multiple untethered mats of the floor, the pedals got stuck, and accidents ensued.
1:36 Tommy: Is not funny, it is imprudent and irresponsable. How did the DOT approve the height for those turn signals...
... For safety purposes they are a problem. Visibility of them for the rear cars in many scenarios are poor or marginal if not null.
You are absolutely right. Totally agree with you. And just not only that this is also the epitome of hideous design.
I believe this is done so if the vehicle is emergency parked on the side of the road and the tailgate is up, the signal hazard lights still show. Don't know why they don't just use the part of the light mounted on the car itself instead of the gate part.
Minor criticism, please show the entire car in the beginning like a walk around for a half minute to minute, so we can see what the car looks like as a whole. Thank you
This capacitive buttons for volume and other controls are absolutely ridiculous. Chevrolet did this in the original volt and people hated it. You would think different manufacturers would pay attention to trends that have come and gone and have better sense.
I imagine they're rear cargo capacity would be far better if the rear didn't slope down so much. The interesting to compare this to a RAV4 for interior space and cargo. And then compare price.
If the price is significantly lower than a RAV4 then perhaps this makes good sense.
the Toyota Harrier has been extremely popular in Asia for generations after generations...
and we have a 2.0L naturally aspirated and 2.0L turbo engine variants too...
Sadly we don't get the turbo here. The only turbo "Toyota" makes is the supra
I’m so happy that Toyota brought back the Venza. I always knew that this car was a bit ahead of its time when it came out in 2009
Finger prints - every where
have had it for about 5 months now. no fingerprints! haven’t cleaned the screen or buttons at all either. they did a good job with it!
Well mine is fine
It looks like the early release images of the redesigned 2022 Lexus NX I wouldn't be surprised if a gas version is Lexified for 2022.
If thats the case how many crossovers/suvs so they want lol they already have ux nx rx gx lx already
what makes you think there will be a gas version?
@@carbrickscity Redesigned NX, like he said, not another new model.
Well he only said a gas version being lexified. He didn't exactly say it will be the new nx. Anayway, who knows. It would ve funny since the rx was based on the harrier.
2:11 I don’t know why Toyota feels they need to put fake vents on most of their vehicles.
In the case of this hybrid they’d do better to take a page out of there nascar book and put stickers of their fake vents.
Each fake crease upsets MPG’s
It really cheapens their product. I personally think that's one of the aspects that really hurt the new Supra.
VΛGΛBӨПD well the main reason they put the plastic inserts on the Supra was due to them staying true to the old Supra generations. The Supra was one of the most commonly modified vehicle back in the Fast and Furious days. So they continued that philosophy to try to keep the price point lower on the vehicle by putting inserts so a owner has the ability to customize his/her Supra however they wanted to
This car exist as Toyota Harrier in Japan, Singapore and Malaysia. It used to have an golden bird logo in front instead of a Toyota Logo. In Japan, Toyota with special logo instead of the normal logo means that the car is a higher end Toyota (Crown,Alphard, Vellfire, Mark x Harrier)
We already got Doug for these videos. You guys are good for testing trucks side by side. Stay with the comparison videos
The reason the gas pedal hinges that way is so that it doesn't get stuck with the floor mat. Remember old Toyota vehicles where the pedal got stuck resulting in some deaths and lawsuits involved.
Great review. Nicely done. I have had one on order for 2 months - sight unseen. I am stoked to get it - your video provided far more info than I got from the dealership!
1st glance at Tommy, and you wouldn't think he's a car nerd. 😅 Always so cute, charming, and refreshing in the videos. ☺️
"4 types of birds... and the harrier is cooler than ALL of those." 🤣
I’m pretty clear that Tommy is, in fact, a car nerd.
Really nice review, but actually dont like where the turn signals are..
I agree with you. In close city bumper to bumper traffice how do you see those turn signals way down there?? They should have incorporated them into that sexy and sleek brake light that runs across the whole back of the hatch. Missed opportunity Yoda. :(
They are less safe to be so low. And a damaged bumper means no turn signals. Toyota and Kia does this because it's the law for cars to have visible lights on the rear when the hatch is open.
I guess i am the only one that liked the styling of the original Venza more.
I owned a 2010 with the all glass double sunroof. I loved it and wish I hadn't traded it in. :( Old model looked better in my opinion as well.
I loved the Old one too! And this one is Great ngl!
My wife still has her 2009 with only 70k miles. Has all options including both moonroof and sunroof, and looks like new. She doesn't want this new Venza!
@@markspriggel1213 I currently have a 3rd generation Lexus GS350 and i love it but my next vehicle will be the 1st gen Venza with the 20 in wheels,same 3.5 v6 as my lexus and the panoramic sunroof.
nope I have a 2015 and like it better than this one. wish the new ones had the V6
Awesome seeing this! Toyota taking some notes from Porsche in the rear. Excited that US Toyota’s are finally getting auto folding mirrors. As nice as this is I’m still going to wait on the 4Runner Prime in approximately 2-3 years.
The pedal design is like GM used for decades. A loose mat can still push the pedal.
Looks like a nice car overall, it's a Toyota afterall. I agree about the lack of volume and tuner knobs. You'd think they'd learn, wouldn't you? I also noted another common problem with touch screens. Your close ups very effectively highlighted the fingerprints you were leaving all over that thing.
The accelerator pedal hinge would prevent carpet interference. A problem that in past years triggered recalls.
We owned a 2013 venza. It was a beautiful piece of engineering. We are looking forward to seeing and owning the new one.
Paddle is hinge from the bottom to prevent carpet getting stuck in the accelerator paddle.... Which was a big issue for Toyota
Technically the Harrier was a Lexus
Tommy's going all Demuro on us!
Dennis Reynolds found his calling as a car salesman
If this had been available last year when I bought my 2019 RAV4 Hybrid Limited, I would have jumped on it. Might even consider trading it for a 2021 Venza Hybrid Limited. Thanks for another great video, Tommy.
The venza Is the best looking toyota to my opinion.
Tommy, your reviews are quite detailed, and I appreciate that! You pick up on certain things that other reviewers miss. Keep up the good work. Thank you and everyone at TFL for all your hard work.
Thanks J J -Tommy
It looked like those vents on the side of the bumper aren’t actually fake, in the first few frames I’m pretty sure I saw light coming through
I want a Venza Prime!
Philip Zivnuska I want a venza xse w the red interiro
@@naveenthemachine I hope the Venza XSE becomes a thing.
Is that true that Limited WITH sunroof is more noise then without sunroof? Thanks!
Beautiful design. Some concerns:
1. Not enough interior space. This was said to fit in between the RAV4 and the Highlander, but it's not large enough. Maybe they will introduce another vehicle that is larger.
2. Offer the option of it as a Plug-in Hybrid, like the RAV4 Prime.
3. The infotainment system should be lower and embedded into the dash, not tablet-style, sitting on top of the dash.
4. It has a Sunroof, not a Moonroof. The latter opens to the air and it would be more appealing than the glass panel that can be frosted or clear.
Three more points.
1. No volume knob on the larger 10" screen.
2. The rear turn signal lights are integrated into the bumper and are too low.
3. Three inches shorter than the old Venza.
Great video! Now THIS is what Toyota should be emphasizing and selling. Rather than tease us with a RAV4 Plug-in which will show up in token minute amounts, Toyota should hybridize their whole fleet of vehicles from the Land Cruiser to the Yaris, compensating for the omission of large, gas-thirsty engines with the torque of electric power.
I have been driving a Prius since 2012 and I have never touched the volume nob. I consider the nob for my passenger. The steering wheel controls work just fine.
With the new Venza you don’t have to be trapped in a Prius any longer. Just pass your driving test first.
Every TOYOTA is a statement ♥️
Yeah, a statement that you're retired lol
The first mod for this car should be replacing the Venza badge with the Harrier one.
That’s a sexy toyota SUV...weird times we live in now !!
@Jonathan Losito it's supposed to be a crossover.
They are late at introducing this.. should just releasing along with 2013 harrier backthen
Back seats looking exactly my Rav4
I have the same pedal design in my 2019 hybrid Camry. They chose that to avoid floor mats interfering with acceleration.
Fun fact: Venza actually means toilet seat in Japan
Why would Toyota ever do that?😂😭
That’s not venza, its called benza’
@@Joe-wi8zr toilet seat is benza. Not venza.
Regarding the throttle paddle, I have seen this in BMW '70s & early 80's Models 2500, 3.0S, etc.
Yas but it's on a Toyota now that's what matters
Porsche as well...
Hey Tommy, nice review. Just an an FYI, Venza's were sold from 2009-2016, not just 10 years ago. The new one is based on the older Lexus RX models and it's appearance it's obvious. It's a shame Toyota didn't bring back the original body style and simply update it. It had a very unique stance and it was very wide and roomy inside. There was nothing quite like it on the road. The original Venza is still a very nice looking vehicle today. I don't like that the new model is only a hybrid, I wouldn't upgrade to one without the 3.5 V6 and AWD like the original. This isn't a Venza, they should have came up with a new name. It's just going to piss off current Venza owners that were looking to get a new Venza.
I went to our local Toyota dealership in NC yesterday. They said they had a 2021 Venza in stock when I called at 9. When I got there at about noon, it had already been sold! Demand is high! So I looked at a 2021 Avalon Hybrid. The sales rep turned the engine on. The rattling sound of the engine, well, rattled me up! He said the AC was on full blast and the AC of the seats too, which is why the engine was revved up he said.
Hybrids rattle and roar when you push down the gas pedal; some more than others. I'm hoping that the Venza being new from the ground up, is not as noisy. A Lexus 300h I drove last year did the same thing. For a minute it cruised on the battery, as silent as any EV. But push down the gas pedal, uhhh, the engine roar was pitiful! I'm now so used to my wife's 2018 Tesla Model 3 which takes off like a rocket with zero noise. After that, these hybrids are hard for me to put up with as regards the engine noise. If I do get a hybrid, I'll have to learn to *get my foot off pushing hard on the gas pedal!* :) Hey, so it takes a whole minute longer to get to where you want to go...big deal! :)
I have a 2013 ford fusion hybrid that is quiet and doesn't rattle. People tell me it's spooky quiet. Hybrids don't have to rattle.
Tommy, your reviews are getting better and better over the years. Dig the comedy. Thanks for all you do. The Venza looks better, but probably drove much better with the old 3.5 L V6,
It's the end of the month. Tell us how it drives.
i’ve had it for 5 months and it drives great. it accelerates pretty fast and handles really well. i live up north and have had a few major snows and it didn’t slip on the ice at all. i had a jeep cherokee 4wd before and the venza handled way better than the cherokee.
I know birds too! I feed a resident Pigeon called Jeff!
Learn something new everyday. I thought it meant young, attractive women.
Great video! Thank you for showing the center info screen, i am a huge fan of direct tpms, its almost a deal breaker for me if a car doesnt show me the exact tire pressures. im so glad toyota worked it into the new Venza!
@9:56, you mention the EV mode. When driving my Prius and if there's enough hybrid battery power available, then I find the EV mode handy while driving in slow speed limited areas, such as parking lots, through school zones, and at drive-in movie theaters (Yup, some still exist).
Video games in their infancy: "Here's Pong." Toyota in 2021: "Pong with your dual climate controls!"
Tommy ... this is an excellent comprehensive review. Very interesting !
Fold down the rear seats ffs. Why do they never fold down the rear seats completely and show a beautiful shot of it.
Toyota some time takes two step back to go one step foward...
Great sneak peek of the brand new Toyota Venza, Tommy! I burst out laughing when you named the four birds that you're familiar with! I thought you were going to name all birds of prey! LOL! Pigeons, Pelicans! Ha-ha! I guess the Harrier would be the coolest of those four!
Great review tommy! I have the same color and model...love it. You forgot to mention the kick to open hatch feature tho. It comes standard on all new models.
So many quirks and features. Daddy Doug must be jealous.
It looks good. Kinda like your average Mazda crossover with a Chrysler Pacifica front end.
Great preview! Thanks
Great video tommy! The old venza really remindes me of that era Ford Edge from a visual standpoint
Tommy, you need to get married when I heard you describe the Venza and voluptuous and curvaceous.
The birds that are commonly called "parakeets" in the United States are known as budgerigars or budgies to an Australian. Budgies are native to Australia. An interesting fact is that areas of the budgie plumage fluoresce [glow] when illuminated by ultraviolet light.
I learned something. I didn't know about a 'harrier' bird, what came to mind was a type of dog used for hunting, or the aircraft.
Now America is gonna have two Lexus RXs! One Made in Canada and the other Made in Japan! I still find it interesting how the first RX was just a rebadged Harrier and now Toyota is bringing the Harrier to America as a Venza?
IMO, the reasonable price of 2021 Venza LE trim is around $32,383~$32,825.
Really nice car, but there's a lot of cost-cutting things that just set me off. For one, they couldn't carry the door design onto the rear doors and its just some stupid protruding fake piece of plastic. The infotainment system really sets me off, its very laggy and it isn't as quick as I would like it to be, and you are right about the volume control. I also find it very annoying how this car only comes in a hybrid version, I dont like that at all.
Toyota has this fascination with fake vents. They ruined the new Supra with them.
@@凸̀_́凸-x2b its a very odd decision that Toyota makes with their cars. Cant think of any other car brand that is obsessed with doing this.
You know for a guy who reviews car u should know why there is no fog lights , they been doing that for decades, first year no fog lights next year upgrades made ( added fog lights )
Some vehicles don’t have fog lights because there is no room. On the Volvo XC60 T8, for example, the fog light space is occupied by components for the hybrid system.
You know for a guy so quick to criticize someone else u should know why there ARE no fog lights. It has nothing to do with next year upgrades made or room. they been doing that for only the last few years, because now that more and more cars have LED headlights, there is no need for fog lights. The LEDs provide as much clarity and serve the function formerly performed by fog lights. Look it up. My brand new Lexus doesn't have them; I don't think they're even available.
I do not understand putting the rear turn signal so low down on the rear bumper. Seems unsafe.
Thanks for the early review Tommy!!! I liked the Venza when it came out way back when. Friend of mine got one brand new and I drove it before she actually did lol That said, I like what they did with bringing it back. Maybe she'll get the redesign and I'll get to drive it again lol 👍🏼🚗⚡💨💨💨💨
As always Tommy, great review! I had a 2013 Venza and loved it except for the interior fit and finish.
Hope you reach one million subscribers 🌹
Another great video by Tommy. Toyota vehicles are so popular and many people want them. However, I have not liked any of the newer Toyota interiors. Having owned and liked my 3 older Toyotas, I now prefer Honda interiors and Honda driving dynamics and Honda Dealership sales, service and finance.
