2021 Toyota Venza Review & Drive at NIGHT (Exterior, Interior, and Ambient Lights!)

[@rosepaul9681]

The 2022 Limited has fog lights now. Fyi, you can change the color of the ambient lighting through the infotainment screen. You can also adjust brightness. Go to settings on the menu. Other KZbinrs have tutorials on adjusting these things.

Your channel's night reviews are my favorite! Great video. 👍

[@PrimeAutotainment]

Thank you very much and I’m happy to hear that!

Love these night reviews, I wish more people did this I really enjoy seeing the headlight performance, it's definitely helpful.

I wish Toyota allows LED color change interior rather than just blue. Night video though, subcribed.

Me too, thank you! 😁

[@Reu_ag]

Even the Highlander does not have interior led lights, this venza is way nicer than all Toyota's period!

[@lightshunshine3861]

2021 venza is a rebranding of the toyota harrier JDM, and the toyota harrier is always side by side or parallel to the toyota crown, so it's natural that it looks more premium, even before 2015 the lexus rx was only a rebadge of the toyota harrier since the lexus RX was first released

[@sumatralex250]

I like the way you edit the video, making the vehicle look way more premium for the price and standing.

[@LeoTheShortGuy]

I am thinking about Venza. Merry Christmas, Nolan!!

[@PrimeAutotainment]

Merry Christmas to you as well Leo! Thank you for always stopping by!

[@epicwolf]

The Venza style before this looks like a wagon that old ladies drive. Now it looks more legit and for younger people. I actually like it and whats crazy is the base trim get some of the luxury stuff that the premium trim also have so you dont have to pay luxury prices for luxury product

[@artemstreltsov1720]

previous Venza wasn`t be for "old ladies" ) for family with kids - definitely yes

[@johnrichards3666]

I really like your night videos ... keep 'em coming.

[@motch6182]

I also would like to see FOG lights, especially since they have a spot for them on the front lower grill! I also want to see adaptive lights and dimming side mirrors! My 2018 Highlander platinum had that dimming side mirrors and I loved it!

[@mattchristiani1664]

My 2022 Limited came with fog lights in that spot.

[@motch6182]

@@mattchristiani1664 I figured they’d do this with an update! Glad they did!

[@SLone3251]

Looks great. Wish Toyota made the driver-side mirror auto-dimming at least to help cut more glare.

[@uareatool]

I wonder if you can get someone who does custom work to install some fog lights in the front because that’s what I would want to do if I bought this car

[@gagangrewal3492]

Toyota should've put the rear blinker lights in the same area as where the led bar is. The low blinker light might not be seen by some...

[@TexasGirl1633]

Great review!! As I get older I don’t see well at night (but am rarely out driving) so this is important to me! I liked the interior lighting.

[@kasimali7776]

[@mayambaibrahim1621]

LOVE the detail in your reviews! The reverse lights on the Venza appear to be really bright, which would be a great design feature.

[@PrimeAutotainment]

Thank you!

[@eileenjurek6898]

Different ambient is different from what I am used to. In my previous vehicle, which was a 2013 beetle, it had red ambient lighting although I could switch parts of it to white or blue.

[@tomcooke979]

Not sure if you noticed this but on the new Venza XLE and Limited trims, the headlights seem to have a blank lens component. Next to the projector lens is a mirror reflective lense that you would think is the high beam, but it is a blank and has no function

[@CodeXana]

I have thought and wondered the same thing! No mention of it by anyone anywhere

[@luisjimenez9555]

As a ex Venza owner (one 2011 and 2013 Venza) the 2021 is way different of was used to be. However this new Venza is the future and maybe take to realize where we are moving. I'm considering trade my CRV 2019 but I'm not 100% in with the Venza 2021.

[@PrimeAutotainment]

Great to hear from you. Yeah it’s wild how much vehicles have changed over the past decade in several ways, big displays, touch screens, safety features, hybrid only here, wild. How are you liking the CRV?

[@luisjimenez9555]

@@PrimeAutotainment Exactly. I really love my CRV, I even considerate just to upgrade to the Touring or Hybrid. However, Venza is a great option but found is kind of small if I compare with the CRV. Thanks for your reply Nolan, Happy holidays!!

[@PrimeAutotainment]

@@luisjimenez9555 yeah it’s a bummer about the interior space of the Venza considering it’s exterior size. Happy holidays to you as well! 😁👍

[@mephi5t0]

the new '21 Venza has nothing to do with the old Venza except the name - it's a new platform. As a matter of fact it's a Japanese car named Harrier. They just decided to call it Venza in USA.

[@naveenthemachine]

My Camry XSE has the led interior lighting and the blue ambient lighting. It looks so nice at night

[@PrimeAutotainment]

For sure!

[@davevolz6138]

Nice! Wish mine did!

[@MSDOGS1976]

First night review I have seen and I do like it. Night driving is not something you really think about when buying a vehicle so this added info is good. I currently drive a Traverse and prior to that a Santa Fe GLS. I really like the SF but I like the way I sit up higher in the Traverse. How do you feel driving the Venza? Is it a low to the ground feel like a Camry or do you sit up higher? I'm going hybrid next time and like the look of the Venza but considering the Highlander too.

[@paulstein9258]

You provided info other viewers haven’t thank you. Subscribed. Someone needs to do a detailed video on using the horrendous infotainment system. I just bought the Limited.

[@rosepaul9681]

Two guys and a ride have a tutorial.

[@gabejr25]

We found the low beams not good at night especially on a uphill or downhill grade. Just a simple tweak of raising the low beam light up just a bit would make a world of difference depending where you live. Otherwise it's a great vehicle.

[@stephenweller56]

Oncoming drivers won't appreciate that so much.

[@Adriana-wh3zm]

Great night drive review, thanks

[@benz9063]

It looks so handsome at night time! The coastal gray is very sophisticated looking. The chrome trim adds some nice specular highlight when it’s dark, but during the day time its color is a too bright feels kinda cheap. Wish Toyota had went with a darker color on the chrome plating.

[@slayshinn]

Thing we gonna get highlander but we saw this video and got the venza instead

[@rbielarski]

Very informative review on safety, wonder how this compares with the Rav 4 Hybrid XLE?

[@potownrob]

No fog lights, or you didn’t have them turned on?? Edit: watched further and saw they’re not even available on the Venza. Not a deal breaker but decent fog lights would help illuminate things closer to the car and off to the sides.

[@Simonverse]

They're available in the Asian markets. It may be available for 2022/23 or through a refresh cycle.

[@TheRage0180]

Out of these four which you like best. CX-5 Signature, Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Limited, Toyota Venza, or Kia Sorento X-line ?

[@MsAnderson-]

Does the heads up display show navigation prompts (turn right in 200 ft, etc) if that was enabled?

[@ionetwofarq1673]

Why do car manufacturers move the rear turn signal? KEEP IT WITH THE REST OF THE LIGHTS

[@exoticcar5482]

For looks. But tbh, I still give big props to Toyota for making them LED, separate, and most importantly amber

[@Dr-Mengueche]

Noob question here: Since the 2021 highlander does not have white LED lighting on the inside, license plate and reverse lights and also no LED on the front and back turn signals and now seeing that the venza does have LED on everything, Can I go to a toyota dealership and pay them so they can install LEDs on everything is not LED?

[@eleanormassaro5195]

I’ve seen that availability on the RAV4 through Toyota where you can switch out your interior lights to LEDs. I would think you could do it with the Highlander too

[@happyhippo1710]

Can you watch movies on the infotainment screen?

[@jamesfarnham1976]

So are you able to control the headlight "brights" manually or is it only automatic? Also, NOT being able to dim the dash lights is just plain stupid? Cmon Toyota!

[@PrimeAutotainment]

Yes you can control the brights manually if with the automatic function. The headlight icon with an “a” inside of it dictates whether the high beams are automatic or not. If that button isn’t pressed and illuminated, they’re fully manual control like normal with the headlight stalk. Someone commented saying the ambient light can be turned off through some settings in the screen but that also turns off interior lights when the door opens. The gauge cluster and screen brightness are easy to control though

Not a fan of the blinkers either.

[@bobbyrico9757]

Just got our 2022 Venza XLE. Headlights are annoying. When on high beams they look normal. When on low beams the line accross the horizon is too low and short. Pray that an animal doesn't run in front of me because I won't see it in time to stop. The vision field is too short. Wish we had taken a test drive at night. This doesn't seem safe. Also there is no place to set your phone, your garage door opener or anything else in the console. The console is set too far back. And please note, because we didn't, the XLE this year doesn't come with the electric passenger seat like it did last year Toyota changed their packages.

To bad Toyota has chosen to use Fake Leather AKA Vinyl or in this case more correctly PU-Leather which stands for Polyurethane bonded imitation leather for the seating and trimmings. It's a sad letdown that they couldn't even use a lower grade of Real Leather in the Venza , as they don't want to step on the Lexus Brand for their Luxury offerings. But really... I can get Real Napa Leather in a Kia or Hyundai so...
