I have a 2021 Toyota Venza XLE and this 2023 Venza is pretty much the same to 2021 version, but the touchscreen is the only difference with no physical buttons. Overall, it is a great car all around.
Had a 2011 Venza that was the most reliable vehicle ever. This new edition is stylish and is manufactured in Japan. A bit pricy, but Toyota like all manufacturers have been going up on prices, perhaps due to the shortages of product.
Great job covering all the car's features. The only thing I would suggest is to make note if he car had any optional equipment or packages so we know if everything shown comes standard with the trim shown.
Really good looking vehicle. Onky reason why I didn't get it was the lack of interior color option. All my vehicles have always been a beige/tan interior. It just gives a more upscale appearance. Oter than that, the Venza is a winner, ESPECIALLY it's backside.
@@lawrenceralph7481 They can bring as Grand Venza which will bring more aerodynamic and more safty for High ways, also it will be beautiful as a family SUV sedan and worth buy to choose either Grand High Landaer or Grand Venza 🙂
@@Combat556 venza is very good vechile I ve heard with a great front looks for out side back part something missing like but if Toyota make little extended version as GRAND VENZA which will attract many families that they can comfortably sits
new audio and multimedia software larger screens on the guages nighshade edition is a new trim level higher resolution reverse camera base starting price has gone up by about $900
i really dislike the sloping rear hatch like the Venza and RX350. It really costs a lot of cargo space. The rav4, crv, and others have a better design in that aspect.
model Y; new and exciting, lots of crazy cool tech and fun to drive. Venza; more traditional, rather boring but will probably last you till the year 2045 😂
I like it but it has some issues. With the black interior I find in bright daylight you cannot set the lettering on the steering wheel controls and the buttons are not sufficiently unique to enable control by feel. The USB area is also very dark, cave-like. The interior lighting is not be very bright and lacks broad coverage. Overall, it’s a good value against the NX Lexus and against the RAV4 it is more elegantly styled inside and out.
I watch all these reviews with disappointment. My local Toyota dealer in Florida hasn’t had a new vehicle on it’s lot in three years. ZERO new inventory of vehicles since pre Covid. That’s sad.
I have a 2021 XLE (with the upgraded entertainment system for ‘21). My vehicle has power passenger seats (no lumbar), heated steering wheel, as well as heated and cooled seats. Weird that these features aren’t on the newest XLE!
Agreed, I have an XLE and the passenger seat was not powered. I was disappointed when I discovered it. I would have traded the folding mirrors for a power passenger seat.
Make sure you ask Toyota if they will stand behind the high voltage cable corrosion issue, otherwise don’t buy it. I’ve written Toyota and the dealer twice with no response. Unless they solve this don’t buy it.
My 2021 Venza limited has the same problem as the Rav 4 hybrid, the prime, if you look up cablegate on TH-cam you’ll see the issue at hand. The problem is the high voltage cable corrodes and causes the vehicle to quit. The replacement of the cable will cost 6 to 7 thousand dollars. It is my understanding that once the three year warranty is up your on your own for the repair. I have a friend same veh as me two months older twenty some thousand kilometers quite a bit of corrosion that he took upon himself to clean the plug. The truck is a good truck, however Toyota is not standing up and taking responsibility for a deign problem.
@@sunitjoshi3573 the only ones that I’m aware of are on the Toyota models. As of today I’ve written Toyota Canada three times, my dealership service manager twice, the general manager once with absolutely no reply. They are trying to bury this issue, when my three years is up I will trade mine and go back to all gas model.
@LivingInAnInverseReality cw7er probably hasn't looked at car prices recently to say these are overpriced. Well actually they are, but show me a car today that isn't. The interior looks fine to me but I am certainly not a car snob, I prefer getting something practical and reliable over fancy.
Turn signals way too low on the rear. Rear wiper should have been placed under the rear spoiler. BTW TOO expensive. Other options in the market. Too bad as the vehicle has unlike Toyota appearance. Also, the push button start is not placed properly location wise.
I like and appreciate the way this reviewer gets right to the point! Thank you!
Most comprehensive overview of the car and its features I've seen. Thanks a lot
Venza is pretty much a hidden gem that could be a Lexus
Seem like this year's model is taken from the old Lexus's design.
And without the ungainly Lexus grille! We bought our ‘22 Blizzard Pearl Venza XLE last year and are very happy with it.
It was never ugly
No. It doesnt feel anything like a Lexus
amazing detailed review and i love how you mentioned the sunroof that comes with limited or nightshade, small detail but still very informative.
One of the best car reviews i have seen in a while.
Toyota needs to offer a tan interior!!!
Right! So sick of all these auto-manufacturers offering black, black, black
I LOVE my new 2023 Venza!!! Especially with the finger press brakes!!! Everyday I notice a new wonderful feature!!! ❤
Fantastic overview of a great car! We just ordered ours!
Yep bought mine 2 weeks ago and I love it
I bought one in February. Love driving it! Terrific car!
Auto start, only good for one year!😢
@Bonnie S what is auto start only good for 1 year?
@@AnnmarieHillDVM yes
Thank you -- this was a very informative video. I appreciate the level and scope of detail that you provided.

2011 was bigger than RAV4, this is smaller

Very good review- no BS . Helping me to decide. thanks.
Glad I could help

The Venza Back to me scenes smaller than the RAV4.
It's almost a direct copy of Lexus Rx models
nice car with reasonable price
Please give me very detailed instructions, thank you so much❤!
You're the BEST! Thank you!!!
This is my next car. Retirement is coming soon and I'll be trading in my GMC Sierra and my Chevy Traverse. Both are gas hogs.
Such a beautiful vehicle 🎉
Is it good for a 16 year old
Yes
I think if they should extend another 4 to 5or 6 inch longer would be more space and will be worth of having it for family
They did. Look up Highlander.
@@lawrenceralph7481 They can bring as Grand Venza which will bring more aerodynamic and more safty for High ways, also it will be beautiful as a family SUV sedan and worth buy to choose either Grand High Landaer or Grand Venza 🙂
It’s 10 months later, and the Venza is going to be replaced with the Crown Signa. We just bought our 2024 Venza Limited. Love it!

Difference between venza 22 and venza 23 please?
new audio and multimedia software
larger screens on the guages
nighshade edition is a new trim level
higher resolution reverse camera
base starting price has gone up by about $900
Nice job…….
thank you
The only selling point is the Hybrid, for a bit more you can get the Lexus NX which is around tue same MSRP
I'm surprised it has less cargo space than the RAV4. It's nice but I'm hoping Toyota will fix the RAV4 Prime, maybe I'll buy the next version 😀

@@danwake4431 Yeah, would be great if they had Venza's nicer interior in the RAV4.
Sloping rear helps with the aerodynamic a lot.
Between this and the Tesla
Model Y which would you suggest ?
model Y; new and exciting, lots of crazy cool tech and fun to drive. Venza; more traditional, rather boring but will probably last you till the year 2045 😂
I'll rather get this hybrid then. Fully electric car electric bill is getting expensive everyday! Plus toyota reliability is unmatched!
@@pilar861 facts
Can I get a Nightshade edition with the JBL system?
You do get to the point and offer great tech details but it's too rushed and not personable

Perché in Italia non arriva la venza?
Not having knobs for the climate control is a huge deal breaker.
I tested drive it and it kinda underpowered engine makes noise when speed up
bro its such a cheap thing to not give power seats on passenger side. 40K plus small size suv that doesn't offer power front seats pathetic..

You get it in the US according to Toyota’s site.
I agree

All gas models will he hard to find. Even toyota is now all hybrid
Do you have a date? Why rushing. Take your time.
Time
I think its ok for those who want to see short video but almost complete. Great job admin.

No power Passenger seat? For the price point not worth the money
Seems like an expensive RAV4.
This venza is over hyped , Avalon is more better than venza
Too small. Overpriced and interior is fugly.
@Living in an Inverse Reality aka Clown World 38K for an LE is a huge rip off. I’m sure quality is great but not for that price.

the seat material looks soooo cheap and sad
you forgot to take a look in the trunk?
