2024 Toyota Venza Brings Bad News

[@TRJ2525]

The venza is such a hidden gem. The Avalon was too. A lot of bang for your bucks!

[@hadlee189]

It's such a shame that Toyota is stopping production of this car. The Venza's replacement will cost about $10,000 more.

[@m4st3rm1nd9]

@@hadlee189Venza hybrid is not a bang for buck if you compare to RAV4 hybrid.

[@whyallthefuss201]

The Crown seems nicer and I’m sure the increase in price will eliminate the Crown from most people. The Venza’s price hits the sweet spot for most people

[@journeyman291]

Yes, I would luv to get the Crown Signia, but $60K is just over the top. I'm hesitant whether to spend $45 k on the Venza.

[@lorenschwiderski]

@@journeyman291 The LE is $37K and has buttons for radio and air conditioning, I think.

[@Joe-cu4hi]

I guess I’m not most people that can dish out $40k-$60k for a car😢

[@cherron3164]

This reminds me of my beloved 2007 Solara. Still rockin and rollin at almost 17 years old and 245k miles. Nothing else compares! She is a tank. I really want one of these Nightshade Venza's, I'll have to keep an eye out for a good certified pre owned deal!

[@michaelbrennan7148]

Thanks Jeff. I guess it was about 1 year ago we were discussing the revel of the Grand Hilander. Sad to see the Venza going away. Toyota quality throughout and built in Japan. I remember the day Veneza arriving at the Fred Anderson dealership lot. Im still remembering the day that you selected Veneza over all the other contestants. It was real. Tough to find those real emotions in todays pretenious internet world. Venza you will be missed😢.

[@mitchellward8524]

Just picked up my 2024 Venza Limited sad to see the venza go its such an amazing car for the price!

[@abiyasa807]

I love my Venza so much, it's the right spot of great engine of RAV4, yet the beautiful design of Lexus, also quieter interior than RAV4.

[@bLuDrGn2011]

Keeping my Venza, the Crown Signia is ugly and long af. Too wagon for me.

[@Denise54321]

That’s disappointing. I think they’re so beautiful and hope to own one someday (used of course). I guess it makes sense that they’re going away - too similar to both a Lexus RX and a RAV4, and people are probably going either way but not in the middle - the Venza. 🙁 really too bad.

[@sidney4329]

Already? It just came out. I hate the instability in the model lines lately.

[@thelog86]

The older venza looks much better i have a 12 and get compliments all the time. People think its a 2020 or newer. Its the color (bronze) that catches everyones eyes. And has held great resale value. They still selling for 10k plus at 12 years old

[@LionRunner]

I heard that in 2015 as well. 😀😀 To me our 2014 Venza was a big improvement in ride quality compared to Rav4. I bet current Venza would be same compared to Rav4, especially been made in Japan vehicle. I think Toyota will bring it again after few years. 🎉🎉

[@nicheel99]

We have a 14 Venza and my wife loves it. It's such a great road trip vehicle. Drives great, comfortable and roomy.

[@deanb3033]

I too had a first gen Venza, was one of the most reliable cars I'd ever owned for the 10 years I owned it. I'm sure it still is for whoever has it now.

[@michaelscottland4239]

@ 8:12 Wow you got the “J” VIN made in Japan baby! VIN numbers that starts with J are made in Japan.

[@bLuDrGn2011]

Gen 2 Venza (Harrier) is only made in Japan.

[@hanko5750]

That new Crown SUV is more like the Highlander in size and well price is $$$$ but instead Toyota dumps the Venza ??? Never made many of the Venza so they've always be hard to find. For sure not interested in the Crown.

[@bLuDrGn2011]

The Signia is long af, like a wagon.

[@radguurl]

I feel like they should have called the Venza the Harrier, which is what they call it in Japan. I own a 2023 limited, went four states over to buy it and drove it 1,000 back home and it was worth the wait and effort. I have zero complaints about the Venza and blame toyota for bad marketing and basically acting like it didn't exist. The Crown Signia will get 36 mpg versus Venza's 40. The Signia will have towing capacity tho. Still, as someone who doesn't go camping and does long road trips and city driving, I don't need towing. The Signia also looks too boxy for my tastes. Oh well, love my Venza and plan to drive it for years to come.

[@rightlanehog3151]

Jeff, Sorry to see the Venza is on its way out but the Crown Signia is a super replacement. 🤩🤩

[@ta5777]

The Crown Signia may not have higher seating since it's a wagon? Thx.

[@WokeisaJoke0522]

Besides that it looks like a station wagon, yes.

[@Joe-cu4hi]

I LOVE Toyota, but where are folks getting $40,000-$60,000 for a 4 cylinder car? I’m keeping my 2010 V6 till the engine says “No More” then I’m ordering a remanufactured engine and driving my 2010 V6 Venza for another 500,000 miles 😂 BTW I always love your reviews! Keep them coming

[@WokeisaJoke0522]

Hold on. Toyota hybrid powertrains are renowned for being very reliable and efficient.

[@matrix-fh9tn]

Why would Toyota announce it so early? I mean who would now buy 2024 Venza, kowing it will be discontinued?

[@Sashazur]

They’ll still sell whatever is left at dealers, with less markup.

[@seymorefact4333]

growing on me too! a baby Jag F-Type

[@sophaman9193]

What a disappointed why toyota killed the venza name again i owned a 2022 model year limited edition I love so much this is ridiculous

[@michaelscottland4239]

They took the name Limited to the next level. You should be happy.

[@DJ12Ema]

I had a 2022 Venza XLE, loved it but the trunk space was way too small for my needs.

[@donbrloks3959]

RAV4 has more cart space at the expense of less rear seat room.

[@rishinarang9966]

I think crown venza would have been a better name for the replacement bc it would have kept the venza name alive

[@ohcanadaeh]

The Crown Insignia is a raised station wagon, not a SUV, and it is longer and larger than Venza. Therefore, I would not say it replaces the Venza. Toyota will stop selling Venza in 2025 since it competes with its Lexus NX350h, and it is a much better deal if you don’t care about the badge.

[@ianferguson3840]

Oh no! I love my 2021 Venza so much it's sick. Worst possible news, even with a Hall & Oates send-off (though that was a nice touch, Jeff. Much appreciated LOL!)

[@joelthorne7434]

Will parts be hard to obtain in the future?

[@crazykenbei]

Nope. Still can find parts for my first gen 2011 venza

[@CreachterZ]

@@crazykenbeifederal law requires them to carry parts for a minimum of 10 years.

[@alsheremeta]

A lot of parts, wheel bearings for example, are the same as the RAV4 uses, and there are millions of them on the road.

[@devcore1]

2:31 pacing of these videos is much better now!

[@stephenpowstinger733]

The crown will be a lot more money. And for what? The Limited model is a lot more fun than the Nightshade. Many enhancements, like ventilated seats, better audio, improved instrumentation, all-around cams, more elegant interior, and HUD.

[@immanuelingari4336]

I want to get this car because my sister back home has the harrier, which is this same version.Hers is not a hybrid but it still gers good gas mileage of 31+

[@midjo6143]

I like the color scheme, but why did the wheels look so gray?

[@lorenschwiderski]

the whole video is a bit too bright / over exposed.

[@alsheremeta]

Do you mean the tires? Really looks bad when the wheels are blacker than the rubber tires....

[@deanb3033]

Did they not sell well is the US Jeff? I see them everywhere up here in Ontario Canada. I don't have any sales data, but by my eye I'd say they sell well here. My sister has 23 Venza XLE, and I have a 23 Rav XSE. The fit and finish is superior on the Venza. PLANE!

[@matrix-fh9tn]

I was curious so just google searched and only 27,352 Venzas were sold in 2023 vs 387,899 Rav4s in the USA. I think people who wants bit of luxury probably went with Lexus NX350(65,947 sold in 2023) than Venza.

[@bLuDrGn2011]

My guess it was cutiing into NX sales. Also shares too many parts with Rav4 and NX, so slow down production.

[@samirmartinez2102]

i got one 2023 xle i love it but do i have to think change my car because it won't be more of them..please any advice

[@dmitriysimanovskiy5109]

Toyota probably stop producing Venza just to free up market for the RAV4 2025. Thank you for info and video!!!!!

[@bLuDrGn2011]

Production hasn't stopped. Harriers are being made and sold well internationally, but they are no longer sold in NA.

[@lorenschwiderski]

Interesting that the driver rating is 4 star and not 5 star in the crash testing. All in all, when looking at the real world data, such as insurance claim data, it does rank in the middle I guess. Nothing like having an Outback, safety wise. It seems all hybrid SUVs do pretty good in the medium sized range. The Outback station wagon / SUV is simply exceptional. With the Forester pretty good as well. Where the Venza is amazing is that you have a more luxury car, plus the hybrid, at a low cost, should you choose the LE model. So now it is an orphan. Oh well, my Ford Fusion is too --- no love from the maker it seems. Ever looked at the pricing on the Corolla Cross Hybrids on the lot? Good grief, much more than the Camry now, and way too close to the RAV4 hybrid or this Venza. Wait, they can make a Camry hybrid for $30k, so why the Corolla Cross Hybrids $35K? Strange times we live in.

[@ramonewalkerrealestate6295]

I love my Venza. I have the Hybrid. 2021

[@motaz1975]

makes sense. it was in a weird spot in the lineup. its like a fancier but less utility than the rav4. its like s lexus nx lite to me.

[@dannyvang1990]

Is there a difference between 2023 model vs 2024?

[@ehtostaf3286]

Toyota discontinues this for a Subaru knock-off Crown Signia. What a waste.

[@DesertDweller22]

I researched the (2nd Gen) 2023 Venza for months before I had to travel to an adjacent state to review and buy one (purchased XLE). The way this SUV was marketed borders on criminal: produce a high-quality, beautiful, and desirable car requiring people to pay outrageous upcharges and/or flee to other states to buy one. Then, pull the plug and announce you are ceasing production after model year 2024. As a driver who owned my 1999 Lexus RX300 for five days less than 24 years, I plan on keeping my Venza for many, many years. I have no interest in the ugly/blocky Crown with it's amphibian-like grill. Unbelievable.

[@journeyman291]

I guess that's why there are so many different styles. Personally, I abhore the box on wheels look of suvs and think the Crown looks awesome. Always been a sedan long wheelbase comfortable ride. But the Venza is the best-looking box on wheels out there.

[@afghanviral]

Oh lord I had 1999 rx300 and then upgraded to venza too

[@hadlee189]

I am so upset about Toyota discontinuing the Venza. This will be the 2nd time that Toyota has stopped production of the Venza. And its replacement, the Crown might as will be a LEXUS RX, due to the pricing of the vehicle.

[@OldDood]

We almost purchased a Venza in 2022. A Limited Venza however they got rid of the 'Knobs' where they are still on the RAV4. I do not care for Touch Screens on basic things like the HVAC and Radio. So we bought the 2022 RAV4 Limited Hybrid instead.

Venza was never a vehicle Toyota cashed out on. Very limited market & competition is only growing. The crown signia is a better vehicle without a doubt and so are lexus products. I wonder how parts availability after few years.
