A lot of people complaining about the "poor" hybrid gas mileage in the winter. I would happily take 30 mpg for 3-4 months and 40 mpg the other 8-9. Yeesh.

SG, I've commented on it before and I know really it's a small thing but man oh man do I love the fact that you make a point to mention the source of the material and labor for your shirts. Grey products are so normalized nowadays and I can't stress enough how important it is to give back to American labor when you can. I really hope more small business stands up and starts producing things ethically and consciously once again, it starts with T-Shirts and hopefully we'll get back electronic manufacturing sometime in the coming future.

We bought a '21 Venza XLE back in October, and my wife has just over 4k miles on it now. It's perfect for her. It replaced a 2011 Acura RDX, and she's pleased with the gas mileage of the Venza, and that she only has to fill it up every couple of weeks. As Jack said, for an everyday cruiser, it's perfect. The XLE has everything we wanted (heated steering wheel was important to my wife, but is no longer available on the '22 XLE), and we avoided the capacitive touch controls. We both prefer physical knobs/buttons, and Toyota did a nice job with the Venza.

This deserves a lot of credit for achieving what it sets out to do very well. Very much a modern interpretation of the classic Toyota philosophy - restrained and conservative aesthetics, spacious and usable interior (ok, maybe some of that could be improved), tried and true hybrid powertrain with adequate power, and driving dynamics that are the utmost in comfort with no sporting pretensions. Might not be what most viewers of this channel are looking for, but will satisfy many ordinary buyers, for sure.

The Toyota Hybrid system is one of the best things I've ever experienced in auto engineering period. Admittedly, the slower ones aren't that fun to drive, but as a workaround I bought myself a Lexus GS450h; best of both worlds. In addition to my own car, I've had a chance to drive almost all of them, the Yaris hybrid, The Prius and Prius +, the Corolla (1.8), the Rav4. All of them are very smooth and relaxing to drive and get great mileage, on top of being extremely reliable. I have never missed having 'real' gears, by this point I have become fully convinced that this system is just better than having traditional gears, and cruising on the highway at 1100rpm is just the cherry on top. Even the 2022 S-Class hybrid can't get the gas mileage of my 2015 car, and that car has a smaller engine too.

@moloono1
@moloono1 2 жыл бұрын
I couldn’t agree more. Even better is that the Toyota CVT system is a planetary gear system that is built to last, unlike the belt-driven systems that other manufacturers use (Nissan) and often fail. That’s why you see so many Prius with over 300,000 miles on the original transmissions. Toyota quality standards are second to none.

smaller engine needs to try harder to put out the same power as a bigger engine. there's a sweet spot in every engine of power output to fuel input that a small engine just cant manage with most cars, which is why a weak engine almost always ends up worse on fuel. a corvette is almost idle on the highway, which is why they get strangely good mpg when they're not in the city

2021 Sienna hybrid and 2021 Prius Prime owner here. Easiest cars ever to live with (and keeps miles off the G63!) Sienna gets about 30mpg in mixed driving but the Prius is averaging 67mpg over the first 7500 miles. It’s hard not to love Toyota hybrids. Efficient and reliable, and IMO pretty good looking. I have plenty of quibbles with Toyota tech, but the reliability and efficiency are generally worth the trade off.

I have only put a tad under 4k miles on it and average 35 to 37 miles per gallon. I love in Colorado on the Western Slope, so it's super cold. Are you keeping your tires slightly over filled??

I would guess they are parking the car outside and you park in an attached garage which receives residual heat from your house meaning the car and battery is potentially 30-40 degrees F warmer at cold start. My experience using a Prius and parking outside as a taxi/rideshare driver is that the car needs up to 1 hour of driving to fully heatsoak the interior and hybrid battery if the car was left in a freezing environment overnight (0 F). If the car is kept in a 40 F or 50 F environment (attached garage) it only takes 10-15 minutes to heatsoak the interior and hybrid battery located under/behind the rear seats/floor. Also if you do only highway driving (60+ mph) straight out of your neighborhood the car will warm itself much faster, the ICE will run full-time at highway speed regardless of the tempurature, and you will see much less difference in MPG than a car going through a mild suburban commute at 30-45 mph when fully frozen vs warm car that can shut off the ICE as needed. Hybrid systems save the most fuel in 30-40 mph stop and go driving and do almost nothing at high speed steady state driving which is when a traditional ICE car is most efficient. Average MPG varies highly between every driver as it highly depends on the speeds and style of driving. Hybrids generate electrical energy through regenerative braking instead of using your friction brake pads/rotors, if you aren't braking then you aren't harvesting any electrical energy and must get all your energy from gasoline. The only other place you can get electrical energy without burning gas is from a plug-in, which this car does not have.

After having seat time for a month in a K5, I understand the appeal a little bit more of a comfortable, steady relax-a-car. Its nice! I akinned the experience of modern cars as an everyman luxury experience. Ironically its for that same experience that I preferred my altima. Even when being slower, that car is fun to drive everyday, and chill enough to lean back on when need be. Maybe its cause I’m a freak of nature, but I feel the need more often to drive spiritedly than I do to chill

We have a 150K 2015 RAV4 Limited and plan to make it our second car. However, the bouncy + harsh rear suspension on Michigan roads has always been a negative since new. Storing 2 bags of softener salt in the back softens the ride a lot! It is a short wheelbase thing, and short range of travel struts easily maxing out. So is Venza much improved to sibling RAV4 or is the longer Highlander a better choice? Or is this apples & oranges to previous gen RAV4 platform?

The first Venza was really a weird large wagon based on the Highlander, IIRC. This new Venza is actually what the RX 350 would've been if they didn't push the RX to make it bigger. (The first two generations of RX were rebadges of the overseas Toyota Harrier, which is what this new Venza is). Confusing, I know, I hope I explained it well enough.

I drove one for a week -- with a lot of rain and what not. I found the car to have a heavy feel, but did get great gas mileage.

I was looking for a boring, reliable, ultra fuel-efficient, drive and forget it appliance experience and stumbled upon the Toyota Venza. I liked the interior, but I opted for the Rav4 hybrid as a daily. They both are about the same vehicle, but the Venza is a step up from the Rav4 with Toyota’s new design language, and it is still made in Japan, so it does have that going for it.

Thank you for not reflexively hating on this because it doesn't lap the 'Ring in 8 flat or tackle the Rubicon. I don't own anything like this, but can see exactly why it sells, and wouldn't care what Flatbills think if I did buy one.

I bought a Toyota Venza 2021 LE model. I was upgrading from a 2010 Honda Civic, mind you. So I didn't go bruhaha on all the tech, wanted buttons instead of a touchscreen, preferred a smaller screen and was okay with a simple backup camera that I had fitted myself in my old Civic. Then I upgraded to Venza and it is a breeze. AWD, standard hybrid, smooth drive, consistently hitting >40mpg. The cabin is über comfortable, Android auto is perfect, the sound system is more than adequate. The adaptive cruise control makes my drive much less worrisome. I love long drives (easy 300 miles a day). So this car is more than perfect for me. So if you are upgrading from an older vehicle, I would strongly suggest you this car. Go for a lower model since you don't want to overspend but want all the basic features such as adaptive cruise control. Nikhil

With higher reliability than their gas-only counterparts, and rising fuel prices, hybrids are making more and more sense every day.

The LE model is where it's at, minus the lack of heated seats. The LE has the better button interface.

Compared to my previous gas powered car. 1. Heated steering wheel slow to warm. 2. Heater slow to warm. To all. I set my mode to sport mode full time. It’s fun to drive and a fast off a red light. Mileage penalty is well worth it. Since I live in a cold climate, I wouldn’t get a hybrid again.
