2024 Toyota Venza LE: The Final Review

[@jonofjord1663]

I got a 2023 LE last November. The LE was hard to find, but I finally got it and was not disappointed. I’m still learning the infotainment system, etc. (my previous car was a 2005 Corolla CE) and like it more now since I can charge my new phone on the pad. I did add heaters to the seats since Minnesota winters are chilly and reset my mpg totals back in early February. It is my daily commuter and I am averaging 42.7 mpg (since February)which makes going to work and home the best part of my work day. I hope to have it a long time and still smile when I get in it to go somewhere.

I can't believe what a smoking deal the LE Trim is.....the exact same drivetrain and suspension as the upper tiers, better wheels (if you like a smoother and quieter ride), wireless charging and CarPlay, better HVAC controls, it also has more of a stealthy look with less chrome front and back - plus the non-bling wheels. And of course you have the dynamic cruise control with lane keep assist, blind side monitors, rear cross traffic alert, auto high beams, auto braking and auto steering for accident avoidance. I suspect the LE will be more reliable long term due to less electronics than other trims. My understanding is that only 10% of production is the LE Trim, so they might be hard to find.

I think it’s the best Venza trim by far. Thanks for tuning in and the feedback. Much appreciated. 👍

I agree that the Venza LE is a great value. I always thought that this SUV was underrated. It has a much better interior than the Rav4. If you can get a discount on it, this would be an excellent SUV to buy. Great review as always. 👍

Thanks Jack! Appreciate the support. 👍

Great review, I recently purchased a Venza LE, only thing I wish it had is the heated steering wheel for those minus 30 days.🥶 One thing, the eCVT is all planetary gear based, no belts..

Thanks! Thank you for watching and the feedback. Much appreciated 👍

Awesome review I dont usually subscribe to channels but your review has been the best of the best, I appreciate you didn't review the usual limited / high end trims

[@chabbysrides]

Thanks! I try to get all trim levels if I can. Thank you for watching. 👍

nice review. I bought one in LE trim and like it. can get 50 mpg driving conservatively.you didnt mention kick to open tail gate is also standard! :) Its possible the LE gets a little better mpg than other trims because of slightly smaller, lighter wheels and tires.

Thanks! Thank you for tuning in and the feedback. Much appreciated.

They say they are replacing the Venza with the Crown, but the Crown is 8 grand more. Looks more like theft than a replacement.

Thanks! Thank you for tuning in.

Good review Mike. LE hybrid looks like a good value. Nice looking Suv. Manual portfolio is optional???😮😮😮,also i agree with you that the rear turn signals are way to low.

[@chabbysrides]

Yeah! 11 bucks! Really?

[@chrisworld2]

How is the radio/climate in the LE actually nicer and more functional than the limited? I want this exact car with leather heated seats and JBL sound system but I don’t want the fancier garbage radio/climate.

Thanx Mike, needing to replace our 2011 Venza that we love so debating on a new Venza that’s smaller than our current model or wait on the Crown Signia next year.

[@chabbysrides]

I expect the Crown Signia to be more expensive than the Venza, if it’s around Crown pricing. Good luck with your decision. I really like the Venza LE. Good value.
