2021 Toyota Venza Best Hybrid SUV

[@beverlywatson8883]

This is the best and easiest I've found to teach me all of the instrument and safety features of my Venza. I think i just fell in love with it even more, and can't wait to go to SETUP to ensure it suits my needs. Thanks so very much!

[@paulelgie2568]

I just bought a 2021 Venza and it’s the best vehicle I’ve owned so far. The technology in it is unbelievable. It is more Lexus than Toyota. The gas mileage is 40mpg avg.

[@HowToCarGuy]

Love this!!! So glad you like your new Venda - congratulations!

[@JSil312]

I love mine too!

[@blubaru09]

So do I! Had it for a month and had to watch this very informative video to learn all about the systems. Smooth, quiet, and efficient. Love it!

[@samhodson6470]

Me too...better than the rav4, too. Ugh...now the haters! When I fill the tank I love the 505 miles until empty...isn't that great!

[@fbella69]

After testing a lot of vehicles in this class, and renting a Venza for a week to be sure - I bought a 22 Venza Limited in same color as this review. I've owned a wide variety of vehicles in my 55 years of driving. I am happier with this Venza than any other vehicle I've ever purchased - even happier than the 2006 E500 Benz I owned. I'm 6 months and 6000 miles into ownership. There is not one complaint I have about it. Absolutely great comfortable vehicle with incredible tech. I highly recommend it.

[@HowToCarGuy]

Thanks for sharing!

[@ntigli]

Just purchased a Venza Limited last night and stumbled upon your video. Your video was by far the most in-depth tutorial and was an awesome informative tutorial of all of the inside features. Your explanations about the features were very helpful. Thank you so much! This was a great video.

[@scline30]

Thanks so much. I just bought one and had no idea it could do all this! Saving this video so I can rewatch. There’s so much it’s overwhelming.

[@MrMusic32150]

Great video. Very comprehensive and helpful. I recently purchased a Venza and had no idea how many features were available to me. Thanks!

[@HowToCarGuy]

Thank you so much and you are more than welcome! Thank you for stopping by!!

[@sanleonster]

I purchased a Venza 3 months ago and have watched more than 20 reviews here on youtube..You review has been the most detailed and informative, I learned so much from your video on the setup screen... thank you for your review...

[@HowToCarGuy]

WOW! Thank you so much for the feedback and I am glad that I could help you!

[@carlvu7]

I put a down payment for a Venza LE and was supposed to pick it up the next day. However, after seeing all these reviews with the star gaze panoramic roof, I'm asking the salesman to change my car to the limited Edition with the roof. Looking forward to it my roof. I picture driving in Manhattan with the roof open and enjoying the view, almost like a double decker bus. A glass top convertible. Your review explain how the whole car work. It is like the detsiled explanation when you take a car from the dealership. I agree with one of the poster above about the rear light turn signal being so low, that is ridiculous. It should be low and in the middle, in two spots. What an oversight. Excellent and very informative detailed review down to the setting of the display. Thank you very much. Whoever watches this video to the end is seriously interested in buying the car or already own the car and getting a refresher. 😊

[@HowToCarGuy]

So cool! I love how you are picturing the future of driving your Venza! I know you're going to absolutely love it. I am so glad I could help you find the right vehicle too!!

[@paulstein9258]

Manhattan would be great for the sunroof.

[@drewjansen7825]

We purchased our 2021 Venza Limited in December and absolutely love it! I'm only halfway through this video, but I wanted to compliment you on it. Very informational...I'm learning so much, I keep pausing and running down to the garage to change a setting. And you're very good on-camera. You have a natural gift for this. I'll be subscribing now!

[@HowToCarGuy]

I LOVE this! I am glad to help you and that the video was helpful for you. Thank you for stopping by and for the positive feedback!

[@ginettesevier3723]

Best review I've seen on the Venza yet. Very detailed and helpful. I've learned a lot. Thank you.

[@lanetterichardson5760]

Like so many others have said, this was the most comprehensive review of the Venza’s features I’ve seen (and I’ve watched a lot of them)! Thank you for taking the time to do this. I’ve had my Venza for a week and learned so much from this video. I’ll be watching it again for sure!

[@HowToCarGuy]

That’s awesome! So glad I could help!!!

[@jamesramistella1030]

This is the most detailed review of the interior controls on the web. Nice job!

[@josephpeczi472]

I'm interested in buying a new VENZA & so I have seen literally dozens of test drive & intro videos on this new vehicle. This video was by far the most comprehensive, helpful, & informative video on all of the features of this vehicle I have seen to date. Thank you for such a well executed & informative tutorial on the features that really matter.

[@ra.j.elasri1884]

Thank you, you did better job than Toyota dealers ......

[@HowToCarGuy]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the feedback!

[@paulstein9258]

Absolutely fantastic. Absolutely a must for any Venza owner. Thank you so very much. From a new Venza Limited owner completely confused by Toyota’s 12.3 screen.

[@ronsmith6823]

Great job of explaining the features. Just bought a Venza today and this video was very helpful for me. Thanks!

[@toronado455]

Tech is through the roof ... I see what you did there😊

[@HowToCarGuy]

Ha! Good eye, my friend!

[@msarah253]

Best review throughout any online resource: Amazingly Helpful, Thank You!

[@MICHERALYAZU]

This is just the review I need.... Great job. MICHERALY AZU is here

[@bobmurphy2275]

New to your channel, just got my Venza 1 week ago, am loving it so far, still learning all of the features but watching your review is sure helping me out. Thanks

[@oldschoolwarrior]

Me reading comments before watching video: “Most detailed review I’ve seen”…”This was fantastic”…”I learned stuff no one else has talked about.” Me: “Hmph…we’ll see about that…” Me 2 minutes in…:“Wow, I didn’t know that!”

[@constances.735]

Thank you for a thorough review. Our 2021 XLE is still in transit (from Japan??) - so I’ll be rewatching again and again so once we take delivery we’ll be “tech-perts” on all the new technology. So very excited to own this beautiful vehicle! We’ve had our 2009 Venza with 150k miles for 11 years. Still running strong. For those new to the Venza you-will-love it! 2021 is a completely new design, lots of new tech, but the 2009 we are keeping is the best car we’ve ever owned (so far 😉). Hoping to love the 2021 as well!

[@cimsollabim8183]

I JUST PURCHASED A 2021 VENZA. THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATIVE INFORMATION.

[@Mark-OutWest]

1200 watts peak which you'll never need nor experience in this vehicle. Glad to know it's powerful. Hopefully there's actually bass in it which darn near every single vehicle ever made has suffered from. Great looking vehicle. It's on my short list of 5 smaller SUVs.

[@pinkorchid1632]

New to your channel. Your review of the Venza Limited was so detailed and well-versed. You provided a plethora of information that allowed me to understand the multitude of features offered on the Venza. The best I have come across. This review will be saved in my folder. Thank you.

[@HowToCarGuy]

WOW! I am so glad I could help you! Thank you so much for the kind words!

[@ericarene375]

Thank you for such a detailed video. I learned so much!

[@dandrialewis3706]

This video was so helpful! I've had my Venza since November and still didn't have it quite figured out yet. I had no idea I had all of these cool features 😂😂

[@dsmith302]

This was the best and most detailed review of any vehicle that I have ever seen. I thank you for this review. You just help me select my next vehicle.

[@RandomIndie]

This review earned a subscribe. Super detailed and good info. You should work for Toyota!

[@MrKillerRC]

Very thorough and detailed video. Also you can mute the stereo by holding down the Mode button on steering wheel.

[@ms.ctrclass6446]

Very helpful . Slow detail is what i needed . Thank you

[@peterjordan2738]

Very thorough review of the great looking Venza!

[@vincentslusser9205]

Very thorough

[@rc4361]

Needs rear turn indicators and fog lights. The current rear blinkers don’t cut it!

[@greasyhitchball]

Why don't they cut it. Did you evaluate the safety data? I guarantee you Toyota did and that's why there down low. This is a well thought-out vehicle.

[@chriswilson6421]

Very good job explaining features. I have learned more from your video than I ever could from the books!! Thank you. We bought the XLE. A few less features. Probably would have got the limited if they had one. The XLE has plenty of options.

[@syamal2007]

I have an XLE as well. Love driving it and all the amazing features. Feel like I paid for a limited but got an XLE. O well I'm not really missing the stargaze moonroof. I have majority of the features..Enjoy your venza!

[@josesime24]

thank you,thank you for a very well datail explanation of the 2021toyota venza something my sales man in toyota millennium didn't due!

[@jamesollick4413]

Excellent review Brad. :-)

[@frilirpdas1852]

Very nice video i just bought today an now i know how to use alot of features thanks nice video

[@duuvisionnguyen6728]

Thank you , you did nice job

[@SneaksOnWideFeet]

Well done on the review!

[@HowToCarGuy]

Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@demef758]

Me: "Mom, I just bought you a new Toyota Venza Hybrid. You're gonna love it!" Mom 2 years later: "Why does the dashboard clock always flash 12:00PM?"

[@tonelocrian]

This guy is kinda like the southern version of Mister Rogers ;) nice review.

[@dooranderson938]

Can’t wait to get my VENZA! Best review I’ve seen on this VENZA! Thanks mr.

[@samuraikash]

Great Review sir! Thank you!

[@underratednerd8259]

Very in depth ! Thanks.

[@justnick6896]

In Japan, this model is called ‘Harrier’ and more interestingly, there is fog lamp equipped in the front…Don’t know why Toyota didn’t bring this feature to the US.

[@ag4eng]

That rear turn signal being so low is a big safety-visibility problem. How did Toyota miss that ?

[@andrewareynoso9235]

Its ridiculous, same with Hyundais, idk why its a trend, first blinking the brake lights, and now just basically hiding something that needs to be visible

[@blubaru09]

DOT regulation- can’t have directionally mounted on a moving door.

[@HKRNAYYAR]

Very detailed video. Thanks 🙏👍👍

[@liti_gator]

This guy has big Bob Ross energy

[@HowToCarGuy]

Wow, that’s a super cool compliment! I love Bob Ross.

[@portraitonetelo1897]

Car looks absolutely nice but hate the rear turn signal which is placed too low on the bumper and its too small for an indicator. Higher vehicles such as buses/18 wheelers may not be able to see the turn signal as its too low. No to mention, bumper is usually the first point of contact in a collision and that makes the blinker more susceptible, to getting damaged by a fender bender incident. Never understood this flawed design trend usually, done by the Koreans and now the Japanese.

[@davidmulligan42]

Great review, thanks!

[@HowToCarGuy]

You're welcome! Thank you for the feedback!

[@wabbit7608]

Awesome video

[@HowToCarGuy]

Thank you so much! I’m glad you liked it!

[@edperns]

Love it. Just got mine a couple of weeks ago. One quick question, how do I deactivate horn when locking / unlocking doors? Thanks

[@garagegods8642]

Amazing machine 😍. Thanks for the vid. You give so many details it's like a owners manual but with a personality.

[@AlanForde-CheyneMS]

I hope Lexus can adopt some of this design language especially for the front end....or maybe this should move up to the Lexus fold

[@oldschoolwarrior]

You have the perfect demeanor for this. I feel like I’m “discovering” this car right along with you.

[@kwameacheampong9478]

Fantastic one there from Toyota

[@StratigicStitches]

Bery nice review. You answered questions I did not know I had. Wish the Venza had a scroll button for the radio. So I can cruise the radio stations. Would you know how this vehicle would srive over a mountain pass? Will you have to drive as slow as the semis or drive comfortably in left lanes?

[@chemlab9873]

Best complete review.

[@GG99MW2]

Is this the same as japan only toyota harrier. same platform as the RX ?

[@Mr2pint]

Love that sunroof 👍 the vehicle needs rare turn indicators however, those little blinkers on the bumpers don't cut it 😂

[@HowToCarGuy]

That's what I was thinking too. Other than that it's a beauty!!

[@kapaluatime]

That is the most detailed review of the technology of the Venza. Enjoyed it very much. Now just need to convince my husband that we need a Venza. Our 2009 Venza is still running great and it is a terrific car.

[@evangelineburgonio6436]

@@kapaluatime ~ Me too ~ I'm still driving my 2009 Toyota Venza. I'd like to have another Venza. I love 💘 my Venza! It's a great 👍car!

[@1gr8oil]

Thanks so much for putting this information out! I just purchased one of these, and they are really a fabulous vehicle! I just couldn't figure out how to do much, and the owners Manual sends you to different pages, so you have to to back and forth from one page to another! I still can't figure out how to get the display to show the entire map, when you are using the Navigation system!

[@HowToCarGuy]

You are most welcome - I am glad I could help you!

[@beverlypalacios700]

Excellent video. Very informative. Hope to get this new Venza. Did you do a video on a test drive? Thank you.

[@R1S0.]

3:31 thats exactly that will happen... dangerous and stupid. same solution in a new hyundai santa fe or genesis gv70. i wouldnt buy a car with turn signals made this way and i hope its not a new trend. btw welcome back!

[@ThamilNesan]

I like Toyota vehicles so far they are very reliable vehicle this Venza design much better than previous boxy wagon design at the mean time Toyota must do update on 2022 versions 1: For the drivers who are 5'10" and over if they drive long hours or stuck in traffic will feel very uncomfortable on sitting driver seat and may feel leg pain they must add manual or power thigh support like German vehicle even now some Buick models have it 2: Touch system some times in cold weather will not respond and may confuse the driver and take off his eyes off from the vehicle , A/C Heating power on off, control buttons will have to update with semi touch system as like Buick or Cardilac with led light indication 3: Back side signal indicators they should add one more under the tail lights aswell for the vehicle safety during the day driver from other vehicle may not see and cause accident 4 : Inside the vehicle power start button is too far for driver to bend down to search to press Let's hope Toyota will update

[@ericbox999]

Venza is nicely made in Japan. The touchscreen is oversized, big case! The effective display area is one inch off all around?

[@footdr80]

Just purchased limited with tech package and sunroof for my wife. Disappointing that they don’t offer leather seating and the panoramic roof does not open. Otherwise nice car

[@crazyjoe5684]

Good Job 👍

[@stheday1]

The left turn signal on the back is a deal breaker. Drivers won't be able to see it.

[@kubanskiloewe]

it does look like the old Lexus RX450H from 2009-2012 with its big elephant mirrors; they seem exactly the same. BUT what this Venza lacks is the glorious V6Hybrid from the Lexus and its much more understressed and relaxing driving; its also more quiet than the Venza. Toyota really should had brought the V6Hybrid in the Venzy and the Highlander because they are heavy and some owner uses trailer !

[@greasyhitchball]

Toyota looked at the sales metrics and knew the V6 hybrid would't sell. Please don't think Toyota doesn't know how to sell cars.

[@dianespizzirri8140]

Would be helpful to mention that certain features you mentioned like birds eye and digital rear view only avail on Limited. Not on my xle!

[@esa2236]

can you change the temperate using the buttons on the steering wheel?

[@vitaliy544]

Does the car lock itself when you walk away with the key fob?

[@MrKillerRC]

No.

[@Herbwise]

Love this vehicle but where are the batteries?

[@AJpro88]

50:37 or that the aliens are here for you 😆

[@ocalakid55]

Can the rear hatch be closed from the drivers side button that opens the hatch ?

[@matthewlmo3873]

Hey man. i own a 2010 lexus es 350 and i’m trying to VIP the car but it’s hard to find the mods i’m looking for. I’m looking to find out if the 2007 ajd 2008 es 350 has the same engine as the 2010-2012. i know they are the same gen but i’m not sure. thanks man

[@greendanks]

I bet at least a few people are getting pulled over when a cop thinks they are suppose to have a upper turn signal.

[@池俊霖]

When is it sold in Taiwan

[@anatorres8004]

It is a very nice car, nice front. I wonder why we don't have it in Europe, we LOVE the 12 "screen, if we want it we have to buy a Lexus. And most of the screens in Europe have old technology. I don't know why if Toyota has this technology , it does not implement it in its cars.Until a year ago, it was not even compatible with Android auto or Apple car play, I am not telling you with Alexa.

[@jessc3337]

What color option is this? Seems like Coastal Grey but darker. Celestial black maybe?

[@MrKillerRC]

It’s coastal gray

[@raybuck8260]

Thanks for the very thorough review, but did I hear you say the vehicle has a CD player?

[@MrKillerRC]

No it doesn’t. He said HD FM has CD quality sound

[@stea2494]

Your back?

[@HowToCarGuy]

Heck yes I'm back!

[@uareatool]

Can you fit a full size tire in the trunk and take out the spare?

[@HowToCarGuy]

Great question! I don’t think a full size tire will fit where the spare tire is.

[@EvendimataE]

the tail lights look almost as extended as the bumper....so if you accidentally back up at a wall, it looks like the tail lights are not much protected

[@Mrtellitlikeitis]

The limited is not the best value

[@Xiaoyuization]

Is LE worth it?

[@paulht3251]

Yes especially if you prefer a nob or dial for heating and air to set the temperature and don’t want to figure out the display on the higher end Venza’s . Plus it comes with about 80% of what the higher end model has.

[@Riley_1955]

I totally agree that the LE is the one to get.......The upper trims have way to much stuff that I personally don't want or need!

[@tonymontana3742]

What frosted me was the overly low turn signals. Also what no one ever mentions is hybrid batteries may need to be disconnected in the event of an accident. First responders need to be able to identify this as a hybrid and they must disconnect the hybrid battery before certain rescue efforts are made. Pretty sunroofs and cameras are one thing, but where is the disconnect?

[@ingenunis5003]

Sorry- do not like interior or where rear turn signals are.

[@michaelspong2056]

Very disappointed in the Venza not having Fog Lights👺👺💯💯🤬🤬

[@MrKillerRC]

The 2022 has fog lights.

[@billyrock8305]

Not the best, but okay. Very dated technology and styling.
