Forget About Lexus, The New 2021 Toyota Venza Is Here

The whole time I was driving the Venxa, I kept thinking to myself: why would anyone buy the Lexus NX over this? And also: This isn't quite the Venza I thought we were getting. While I can't talk about the way it drives just yet, we can talk about the rest of the new Venza (aka Toyota Harrier) in this video and why I think the NX should be off your shopping list until it gets a complete redesign in a year or two...

I have no idea why other car review channels exist when you have Alex. Hands down the best out there. Such a detailed explanation and on top Alex talks direct to consumers, not talking a scientific language like others. If you like a car, what it on Alex on Autos and go buy it. People working at dealerships have half the knowledge of this channel.

[@bobdylan9117]

they exist to make us appreciate him.

[@steveprinty5674]

Savagegeese might be worth your time to check out. Kind of a different style so the 2 may not be in competition, but definitely top notch. I subscribe to both, but savagegeese is my favorite and I will watch ANYTHING that he reviews. For Alex, I will only watch him review vehicles that I would consider buying.

[@Cruiser203]

Steve Printy same, savagegeese is da best

[@ohadparan2853]

Steve Printy love, love Savagegeese. Mark is the best. He and Alex, two totally different styles. My neighbor was looking for a car for his wife and I turned him onto Alex. My dad bought a Volvo S60 because of the savage goose, and I bought an Acura TLX Because of Alex.

[@markmiller3279]

Alex is very thorough about features most buyers care about, and about placement relative to competitors, but he could be more concise. Savagegeese is just wonderful. Mark produces beautiful videos and gives comprehensive technical explanations, along with some very dry humor. His channel is much more aimed towards performance car enthusiasts, though he does discuss more ordinary cars, too, if not as thoroughly as Alex.

We just pick up our new Toyota Venza XLE in coastal gray metallic . We had an preorder on rav 4 prime but decided to go with the Venza instead. This is our first hybrid vehicle so we hope all works well. Excellent job on all your reviews Alex keep up with the good work. Your review on this vehicle made us change our mind to pick up the Venza

[@chardy8067]

Can you give feedback about your Venza? I am considering a 2022. My main worry is the gas tank-does yours fill to 14.5 gallons?

[@stephenhendricks103]

Very interesting review of an interesting vehicle, Alex. The mainstream midsize crossover category is huge. Two categories really. A group of larger 3 row vehicles that range in length from 195" (Highlander) to 203" (Traverse) and a group of smaller, typically 2 row CUVs that range from about 188" (Santa Fe, Ford Edge, etc) to 192" or so in length*. (Murano, Grand Cherokee, Blazer, etc.) Nearly all manufacturers offer vehicles in each category, the exceptions being Mazda** and until introduction of the new Venza, Toyota. But how various manufacturers have approached designing separate entries in the two sub-categories has differed. Some brands have based their two offerings on different platforms (e.g. Edge vs Explorer, Santa Fe vs Palisade, Blazer vs Traverse.) Others have simply reduced the size of their 3 row CUV's to provide a two row version. (e.g. Honda Pilot, VW Cross Sport). Toyota has taken a somewhat different approach with the Venza being a stretched version of the RAV4 but with a host of other differences, in terms of both style and substance. Apparently, the popularity of the RAV4 and Highlander hybrids has convinced Toyota to limit the Venza (nee Harrier) to a hybrid power train. No sunroof but a glass roof that darkens at the flip of a switch a la Mercedes Benz. Pretty trick. Obviously neither the Venza nor the Highlander is more than a very soft off-roader. But Toyota has the aging but still strong selling (and true "SUV") 4Runner for those who consider off-roading a high priority. In terms of size (exterior and interior) the Venza is at the low end of the smaller midsize CUV category just as the Highlander is at the low end of larger 3 row group but Highlander owners accept an extremely cramped third row and Toyota apparently believes a significant portion of their potential customers would prefer just to eliminate a tiny and cramped third row, altogether. I suspect they're right. The Highlander may well lose some sales to the Venza but from Toyota's point of view that's better than would-be customers defecting to other brands. I suspect the new Venza will be a strong seller for suburbanites who enjoy a close relationship with Costco and as a small family road tripper with excellent fuel economy. * VW's Cross Sport is an exception being 195.5" long; it's a very large 2 row CUV, half an inch longer than a Highlander. And KIA stands more or less alone in offering a smaller CUV, the Sorento (189") with three rows. **Mazda has a smaller midsize CUV,, the CX-8, but doesn't offer it in the US. Similar to the Venza, the CX-8 is a stretched version of the compact CX-5.

[@adamnevis7636]

Nice review! I like your shirt too!

[@jmcafee6564]

One year ago I bought a 2019 RAV4 Limited Hybrid, fully loaded. It’s a sweet ride, but now I’m seriously considering trading it in for the 2021 Venza which is much better looking inside and out, has power passenger seat, HUD and will most likely be quieter than the RAV4. Hopefully it won’t have the RAV4’s gas tank problem that Toyota acknowledges, but has no solution. Looking forward to seeing the Venza in person.

[@jazzbeau507]

Great review, nice vehicle. Seems impressive.

[@sflscott11]

More turn signals in the rear bumper.... are we going backwards from safety?

[@lynnespringer1513]

For me, this Venza checks all the boxes. I am happy to see that it returned. I recall seeing it several years ago and then, it disappeared. I would like to read more about what is powered by the battery beside the brakes. What is the difference between the 2021 and 2022 models? With the current chip issue, I am hopeful that m American-made Trailblazer will be worth more than BB value.

Lexus won't have an answer until the NX redesign 2022 model next fall. Venza is beginning to make the RX and NX look ancient.

Pretty much ever Lexus is ancient, that would be okay if it were a rugged SUV or truck but not luxury cars.

This sounds a lot like Acura sedans. The ILX, TLX, and RLX and embarrassed by the Civic and especially the Accord. It looks like Acura is going to fix this by branching off from Honda with their own platform and their own infotainment.

That's a right purty RAV4 ya got there. The whole beauty of the Venza was it was WIDE.

[@InternetDude]

I preordered the RAV4 Prime because 68km EV range. The Venza actually looks really nice but no EV.

[@InternetDude]

D D Nissan is not as reliable as Toyota plus there are compromises with charging in winter on road trips. My Tesla goes further than that but I want no more compromises.

[@luzovich]

I agree that the NX will be a hard sell once the Venza goes on sale. I had a loaner NX and thought it was just okay. The UX hybrid looks much better but the trunk is just too small for me. I'll probably wait until next year to see what the new NX looks like but the Venza is really tempting. Unless the new NX is a huge improvement it will be hard to justify the roughly $10K extra for an NX. Too bad the large screen is split all the time but super glad that it's touch. I don't miss the sun/moon roof at all.

[@jamesmoore9008]

RAV4 Hybrid (non-prime) moved to lithium batteries on June 2020 production vehicles and later. It’s even on Toyota’s website for the RAV4 under the specs.

[@dennismarsico4744]

If there is no towing capacity will a factory hitch be available? We have two 50 pound ebikes that can only be hauled by a hitch mount. This seems to be a trend, the new Honda CR-V Hybird also has no towing capacity.

[@sntstafford]

Was looking forward to the Venza as I was looking for a two-row Highlander. We have a 2019 Santa Fe, and when doing our comparison shopping, found the RAV4 to be a tad narrow for our taste, whereas the SF is roughly 3.5” wider, which is noticeable for us. It would seem Toyota doesn’t have what we want this time around; since we enjoy our SF, I guess we will wait to replace our aging sedan until we see the new ‘21 Santa Fe.

[@brucemoose926]

Alex, I like the size chart. Can you please put a length in inches for the venza as in Venza 182 in (etc) in the blue slash bar. No need to provide lengths for the other comparison models.

[@DarrenPersad]

Super glad Toyota decided to bring back their premium Harrier to the US market. It's been such an excellent option in other foreign markets for years, and our very own Lexus RX was a gussied up Harrier back in the day. Great vehicles! Love this new one with all the smooth lines and unique shapes - it really stands out as a premium alternative to the RAV4 without the price of the Lexus. Very interested to see how the market responds to this new Venza. Personally, I'd have loved it if they'd kept the Harrier name, it just sounds better, but otherwise no complaints from me! Looks like a good overall package.

Alex, would this compare well to a Mazda CX-30?

[@kingwilliams4749]

[@Teck24.7]

I wanted to love it but the smaller cargo space size, no leather options, and no Moon roof is a no go especially if its on the high price point side. I'm interested to know how much it will end up being since that's the real deciding factor.

[@followufollowme]

Previous Venza was a gem. Loved the exterior design. This one is BELOW average. The Interior is beautiful, contrary from the previous model.

[@jollyjohn6403]

Can't wait to see a Venza prime, pretty soon.

You may be waiting a while. Toyota normally wont comment if there is something in the pipeline, but they actually said they had no plans for a Prime "at this time"

I'm curious what significant compromises would a Venza owner agree to vs an Acura RDX (besides horsepower).

[@JR-pl6ps]

The Toyota press release in May said the cargo space is 36.3 cu ft but the review says around 28 cu ft. That's a pretty big difference (the lower amount being very low for the class and the upper one being on par). Would love to know which is correct

[@nicolasmikah4168]

Aren’t those rims same as the ones on the LS500??

[@blackwhirlwind1245]

Other than the special moonroof on the top trim level, what’s the selling point of this car when you can buy rav4 hybrid? Although I do think the front fascia look better than rav4, just my personal opinion.

[@OldThomMerton]

Better ride and lower noise, good if not great room inside, quick but not quickest . . . sounds like the old Venza, but that hybrid is what has my attention! I've never been comfortable in the RAV4, but this seems right up my alley. I will admit that I would like a moonroof . . . unlike most folks, I use it dozens of times a year . . . the new roof is interesting, but I like an opening moonroof!! I'm watching to see what Toyota does with the Venza over the next year or two . . .

[@BrogeKilrain]

First report to hit my mail on Venza. WINNER :)

[@wpgtriniman]

Lovely design but here are some concerns. 1. It's larger than a RAV4 but has less cargo room than on the inside. Three inches shorter than the old Venza. It's billed as being bigger than the RAV4 but smaller than the Highlander. They should increase the wheelbase to give more backseat/ cargo room. 2. Less headroom than a RAV4, and even less with the sunroof. Make it taller. 3. Would prefer a moonroof (opens to the elements) than a sunroof with the glass that frosts on/ off. The frosting would be cooler if it darkened, rather than just frosted. Combine a moonroof with darkened frosting and you have a winner. 4. Lower the infotainment system and integrate it into the dashboard instead of the stuck-on tablet style. 5. No volume knob on the larger 12.3” screen. Huge mistake, just ask Honda. 6. Shiny black plastic is just a fingerprint magnet. Use something else that won't show prints and get easily scratched up. 7. The rear turn signal lights are integrated into the bumper and are **too** low. 8. Offer it as a plug-in hybrid. Supposedly, they were waiting to see how the RAV4 Prime would sell and it's poised to be hugely successful as a PHEV. 9. Don't like the touch-sensitive controls in the dashboard. 10. Climate controls change the temperature 1 degree each time you press, unless you press and hold. Use knobs instead; they're faster. 11. With tax, it would be close to $60K in Canada.

[@SheepNizzle]

FYI the Limited trim has 4-way adjustable lumbar support.

[@sf7234]

Don't like the lower turn signals (for looks or safety), the Forte has this too. Hoping this isn't a new trend

[@Seattlejoe1]

Very sharp. I think what Toyota is doing here is close to what Ford is doing with the Bronco Sport and Escape. One you can get more of streamlined look, the other more sporty.

[@johnbrews9724]

At time 8:01 Alex shows a two-way lumbar support control, but on my limited Venza there is a four way control: up, down and to & fro.

[@johnbrews9724]

Alex agrees that the Venza lumbar support is four way in his later video comparing the Venza with the RAV4: the RAV4 is two-way.

The Venza is Lexus-like

[@user-tx1sx1en9v]

[@jordansnyder3669]

I have to say I have seen other reviews of this and you are incorrect. The Venza does have a Moonroof option on certain models.

[@garywood9119]

Unfortunately, a hybrid. If you trade vehicles after 10 years or less you probably will like this vehicle. But for those that want a vehicle they can own for 10+ years or in excess of 150k driving miles get a gasoline powered vehicle. When it is time to replace the battery pack expect to pay $6500+. Should the AWD go out after warranty expect to spend $2500+ to replace this part. Trade in value will also drop faster than a gasoline powered vehicle.

[@InvestBetter.]

The redesigned 2022 Lexus NX also rides on the Rav4 platform, so what does this Venza mean for the NX? This means the NX may get more sporty in its drive, and go in the direction of the Acura RDX The NX may go after a younger, more affluent buyer, where the Venza goes after the traditional "empty nester"

[@jrmt6531]

Horizontal plastic slats in front grill remind me of Lexus low end grills - large plastic area looks cheap like those old Mazda smile grills - they should offer some type of metal mesh for higher spec grades.

This looks like the 2010 RX Btw, I hope Toyota put the prime on all its hybrid, without the jacked up look on the RAV4 prime

[@SG-sz5vh]

Ugh! Divorced turn signals in rear. What are they thinking?!

[@MrCarpediem6]

Pretty high praise.. Must be something; but this is based off the RAV4; wasn't the original based off of the Camry? That is too bad, as I didn't get the RAV4 but b/c of the lack of rear seat room w/ toddler seats. If that's the case; the Outback (if I want to stick to 5 seaters might still be the better pic) if I don't want Hybrid. Edit: Likely, the Outback will get a Hybrid (from Toyota, ironically)

[@heinuchung8680]

Wow this is a beautiful car but will it be over priced?

[@macmichaelhenson-rogers9850]

I had high hopes the Venza would split the size difference between the Highlander and RAV. The RAV’s backseat is too small and I don’t need the 3rd row, or cost, of the Highlander.

[@williamconrad1087]

Great preview. Toyota gave up some real world practically in terms of size/space but they have gained much more in terms of style over the competition. Although it still remains a CUV with a traditional layout they have done a great job with ditching the cookie cutter design. As most people won’t go off-road like marketing suggests, nor will they have it crammed full of camping gear, I forsee this as a runaway success.

[@andrewclary872]

Seems to me Toyota should have just invested in more NVH padding on the Rav4 and called it a day. With the Rav4 being more spacious, better ground clearance, and already printing money, Toyota put a lot of R&D funds into something I don't see selling very well, (the Venza).

[@wyw201]

This Venza is called the Harrier in asian market which was Asia’s version of the Rav 4. Don’t know why they decided to export the Harrier to the US.

[@markmiller3279]

It already existed as a model elsewhere, so it cost them very little beyond marketing. The SUV market is so big that slicing it as finely as possible does have a logic to it. Some people, including me, don't find the rather truck-like styling of the current RAV4 very appealing. I'd rather have this.

So what exactly is the selling point for this vehicle? It’s a tad smaller than the Rav 4, way smaller than the segment it’s being marketed for, underpowered, no traditional moonroof...so why buy? Some previous gen Venda owners aren’t feeling it. Why not just buy the Rav 4 Prime or the hybrid Rav 4?

[@luzovich]

I suspect that the ride will be a bit better and quieter than the RAV4. Also has power front passenger seat. But I get what you're saying, it's mostly about style and doesn't add anything practical.

[@markmiller3279]

It's big enough for four adults and then some. The additional space in the RAV4 doesn't make it meaningfully better for most buyers. People with kids or who haul a lot of stuff would be better off with the Highlander. This is for someone who wants a more premium experience without getting the bigger vehicle, and who prefers sleeker styling than the rather truck-like RAV4.

[@valdius85]

It is longer in size than RAV4. Has more premium interior and styling. The naming is strange, it should just be called Harrier and be a new vehicle in the lineup. This is more of a modern hatchback for people who are afraid to buy a wagon.

Glad Toyota offers this, but keep in mind you can get an AWD Rav4 Hybrid starting for less than $30k. This will start around $35k, so you better be a bells-and-whistles buyer It's biggest competition will be the Rav4 Hybrid. If the Rav4 is too unrefined for you, get the Venza

[@danhall3450]

I own a 2015 OB & am actively looking for a replacement - specifically one with at least as much space and better MPG. Venza looks great from MPG standpoint - major bonus! However, even though its exterior specs are very close to current OB, lack of interior space similar to OB is a major downer for me. Even for relatively short gut at 5' 8". when I sat in the RAV-4 it felt claustrophobic with roof being too low for me. Given the lower roof line of the Venza, I anticipate it will be similar or more claustrophobic. I'll check it out but suspect the lack of interior space will be a major negative when compared to OB. Additionally, the low turn signals also a turnoff. I feel like they are low enough to compromise visibility in heavy traffic. Also the cargo area lift over appears rather high. I'm holding out until the 2021 Sorento Hybrid makes the scene before making any purchase. Honda CR-V Hybrid is looking pretty temping for this two time Outback owner right now too!

So kind of like what Avalon is to a Camry, except it a shorter.

Being taller, I was hoping for a 2 row Toyota between the newly redesigned and shortened Rav-4 and the Newly redesigned and lengthened Highlanders which offers significantly less legroom than the 2019 model. Again Toyota does not fit our needs and if we are getting a 3 row Suv, there are many more accommodating new vehicles offered by their competitors.

Based on a quick check, the front legroom in the Highlander is 2 inches less than the old model. It's not like it was cut in half. You're entitled to your own opinions but not your own facts.

The front end looks like it’s bumper is missing.i wish the RAV4 could get the improved interior.
