We drove them for awhile before we started the video, I could include the entire driving for the fuel economy test otherwise it would be a 2 hours video.

[@reyrey520]

Thank you guys love your review.👍🏽

[@Psalm31Moms]

Amazing! One of our cars is going out and we are expanding our family so highlander seems to be the way to go! Thank you both fir this video!

🙏

[@cknight4281]

Great review.

[@tregos12]

Great comparison

[@ohcanadaeh]

I think the top trim has the same massive screen as the Venza but it has knobs for the radio which the Venza does not have. Buyers generally prefer knobs for controlling the radio.

More than 3 months ago I bought 2022 venza hybrid limited I love it a lot of room and good on gas i can put almost 1000 kilometers one tank of gas and the interior is almost lexus like even exterior. Thanks for your video take care bye from milton Ontario Canada 🇨🇦

[@rickstokes2239]

I’m going for the 2022 Highlander Hybrid next year: Cargo/Passenger space, AWD triple EVMotors+GasFront, Dash+InfotainmentCenter, Towing Capacity.

[@hamedbateni365]

Great point for city driving. As you pointed out there are some flaws with the interior design but gosh Venza's seats... they are very comfortable. My deal breaker was the annoying wind-noise on highway when you drive over 65 MPH.

[@SamCarLegion]

They are!!

[@demetriustatum672]

The venza is amazing my kids have there own cars I’m 58 retired this is exactly what I’m looking for so quiet right size for me

[@kreshjananajao9703]

I hope you'll make a comparison of the Rav4 Hybrid vs Venza side to side in the near future.. Nice Video though! 👍

[@SamCarLegion]

Kresh Jan Anajao absolutely

[@babakmolaei]

Based on your expertise on cars, what would you choose if you were to select between 2021 Venza limited and Santa Fe 2021 Ultimate Calligraphy? I’m asking this because both have pretty much the same price, and their new models are nothing like previous models so they are quite competitors.

[@SamCarLegion]

Venza

[@lilwashu]

just a small tip, you might want to look at a pop filter for your audio? its a bit sharp on the "S" and "T"

[@stephenfiore9960]

…Good catch

[@stephenfiore9960]

Is the Venza Hybrid available in the USA in 2022??

[@whipit611]

I Test Drove the Platinum Highlander Hybrid and the Wireless charger in the arm rest does NOT completely fit the Note 20 Ultra. It does charge, but doesn't fit in the holder correctly.

[@NumptyBrainStorm]

Your music and your voice volumes are way off, great video though!

[@kathym1904]

My sister has theGighlander (not the hybrid model) and I have a Venza XLE. We got them July 3rd. So far, we both love things about both vehicles. The Venza seats (front and back) are more comfy and I don’t feel as stiff if in the car for more than an hour. We have both have had RAV4S previously. I love the Venza! The gas mileage is AWESOME. I found the Venza was as roomy feeling as the 2029 RAV4 I had. I also like how you can see the tire pressure of all 4 tires on the Venza!

[@SamCarLegion]

That Venza looks sleek

[@sophaman9193]

In Japan call the harrier very popular in North America call the venza thanks for sharing your video take care

How is a USA Venza not able to tow per toyota yet a Canadian Venza able to tow?

[@kevinrucker2773]

I’d have a Venza in my driveway today if they’d have put the option of a regular moon/sunroof instead of going with that goofy frosted panoramic one they did.

[@chucksw1]

and knobs for radio and climate control!

[@kevinrucker2773]

@@chucksw1 bought a 2021 Rav 4 XLE Hybrid Premium. Knobs and moonroof. No complaints as of yet.

[@TheMandoza1]

Which of them has the softest drive and has thr floatiest drive?

[@SamCarLegion]

Highlander

[@ohcanadaeh]

There are customers willing to pay more and buy a Lexus rather than a Venza because of the badge. I won’t but plenty will. One flaw of Venza as it was pointed out by your guest, no physical buttons and too much touch control.

[@SamCarLegion]

Agreed

[@bmak237]

Very informative video! Thank you Sir! However, can you tell how comfort and spacious it is in the rear seats of Venza? By the looks of it, I assume you are around 6 feet. - Can you sit comfortably behind your driving position (without cramped feeling over a 6-8 hr long trip)? - Can we place a rear facing child seat behind your driving position? - Can 3 people of your height / 6 feet fit comfortably in the rear seats in Venza? Assuming the driver and Shotgun seats' occupants are also 6 feet tall? For road trips.. not short commutes. My intent is that: I am liking the design and powertrain of the Venza 2021 and hence interested in it - but want to clarify these doubts about space. The above 3 requirements are all satisfied in a Compact-SUV model of Honda i.e CR-V (very comfortably). But not Rav4 - Rav4 cannot do all the above like a CR-V does. Since Toyota classified Venza as a Mid-Size SUV (inline with the HUGE Honda Passport, Nissan Murano, etc), I want to confirm if its spacious to the above needs.

[@SamCarLegion]

The RAV4 and Venza have very similar size, except the cargo/trunk space, the RAV4 offers more. 3 guys my heigh 6.2 couldn’t seat comfy for 8 hours trip, also depends if they are heavy not just tall. 2 guys in the back my heigh can seat comfy for long trips. You have similar legroom and head room for both, RAV4 just slightly bigger, so the child scenario would be similar on both. I think a child seat in that position can fit easily. I set the seat as if I was the driver as you can see, it’s pretty comfy. Headroom is slightly tight for both but not bad.

[@bmak237]

Sam CarLegion Thank you for the swift reply Sir! This helps ✌🏻

[@SamCarLegion]

Here to help, thank you.

[@hamedbateni365]

Other thing to take into account for back seats: no heat or ventilated seat, no recline, and no sliding seat. Even though the seats are comfortable, I don't think the back seaters would appreciate a long drive. Also, I think that wind noise would be annoying in a long trip but if you are okay with CRV, you should be fine with this little noise.... I'm just very peaky about noises :)

[@TheMandoza1]

You say you are doing drive review and you keep talking about interior and design?

[@SamCarLegion]

We covered a lot about the ride

[@francisdipredelarosa8668]

Which feel faster of both??

[@SamCarLegion]

Venza

[@francisdipredelarosa8668]

And the venza or rav4 ??

[@SamCarLegion]

@@francisdipredelarosa8668 couldn’t tell the difference

[@jocelynctimothe1859]

RAV4 prime is the fastest, but venza is more premium, if un 30 get the ra4 or Highlander or Corolla cross hybrid, if over 30 mature older get the venza, bigger family get the sienna

Anyone that chooses a Telluride over a Highlander should just stick their hand in the door and shut it. Pretty much the same decision.

[@Mrtellitlikeitis]

Venza or cx5?

[@jocelynctimothe1859]

Venza

[@SwapnilBhartiya]

Sorry but, realisticlaly due to the trunk design, Venza has less corgo space.

If you are thinking about the Venza you should look at the Honda CR-V hybrid .

Venza is RAV4 with tuning.
