This is a Motormouth couple car review of the updates 2023 Toyota venza compact hybrid SUV. With excellent fuel economy and a modern design, the Toyota Venza is one hybrid that’s tough to pass up. There are some changes coming for 2023, is it worth waiting for the 2023 model? Let’s go through some of those changes. There is one important change for 2023 Toyota Venza that would make me want to wait, it will have the new Toyota Audio Multi-media system, this will be a great improvement and in the US, the 12.3” touchscreen with touch capacitive controls is standard on XLE models. In Canada, XLE models already have this as standard equipment. This system allows for dual Bluetooth phone connectivity with wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto. In addition, Venza LE and XLE models will get a 7” multi-information display instead of 4.2” and the top trim a 12.3” digital instrument cluster. In the US, the 10” head-up display will now be standard on the top trim, it is standard in the 2022 model Toyota Venza in Canada. There will also be a new Toyota Venza Nightshade Edition based on the Venza XLE trim level with black exterior accents, 19” black wheels and available in three colours, Celestial Black, Wind Chill Pearl and Ruby Flare Red. Other changes include, LED fog lights now standard on XLE models and above and the Star Gaze fixed panoramic sunroof will not only be available on the top trim but also on the Nightshade model. Some good news, the 2023 Toyota Venza gets an 8-way power passenger seat on the top Limited trim, so finally there is height adjustment but only on the top model. The Toyota Venza has a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine matched to an ECVT with Hybrid Synergy Drive, 219 net horsepower, standard AWD. You can’t beat the fuel economy on this Venza hybrid, it gets 5.9L/100 km, 40 MPG city and 6.4L/100 km, 37 MPG highway. The 2022 model starts at $39,150 CAD/$33,240 USD, XLE $45,150 CAD/$36,775 USD and the Limited $48,550 CAD/$40,730 USD.
Competitors to the Toyota Venza include the Toyota RAV4 hybrid, Hyundai Tucson Hybrid, Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid, Kia Sorento hybrid, Ford Escape hybrid and Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV.

One of my friends has a Venza and loves it. I often forget this model exists....but then I see a great review like yours and I'm reminded about Toyota CSUVs...oh yeah that's right...its an option..but I'm not excited or inspired by it. Seems like it still feels like a rental car forgetably moving you from point A to B.

[@larssfeihc9199]

I'm with Zach! Buttons and knobs while spending less money is the way to go.

[@sachinbhagat9928]

I have 21 top trim and it makes random braking noise so loud it irritates everyone inside. Also lots of cabin noise. Common problem with Toyota. Honda is good and Nissan is way better with cabin noise. Also lots of quality issues.

[@empi492]

Got my 2023 Venza Limited last week. They slightly reconfigured the HVAC control layout, and it is much more user friendly. The new infotainment is great because you now get to use the whole screen instead of having part of it being dedicated to HVAC controls. The build quality is much better than that of the NX350h

[@MarTin-ku4lx]

Andrea has been working out lately. Looking good! You’re half the reason I watch the channel!

Am really happy to hear your now selling your review cars Please I will love to buy it too

[@edc5207]

when does this comes out? what month?

[@sporty05]

That was a big reason for us too. It was almost impossible to find the used Lexus she wanted and new ones are just too expensive and no more V6. She is very happy with the Venza.

[@Beer20001]

Their little changes but okay, also agree with Zack and many others on here about the roof, for the price that they charge they have a sunroof...great review Andrea and Zack!

[@joalblo9581]

I like to roof. I have terrible allergies and can never ride with my windows down or the pano roof open. This is a great option for allergy sufferers like me who sometimes want more light in the cabin

[@bho6486]

We love our '21 Venza Limited. We got the blueprint blue with the grey interior and it is beautiful. I like the electrochroamatic sunroof but I do agree with Andrea and would like the sunroof to open. Our gas mileage has been incredible for the size of vehicle. I often get city trips as low as 3.7 L/100km. Since getting the Venza at the end of August, we are averaging 6.3 L/100km through mostly winter driving (and that is half the gas usage from our previous cars!). We have been very surprised at how nice the Softex seats are and how comfortable they are. I have to say that living in a city, we rarely 'gun it' and so we find the Venza to be a very quiet vehicle. On the highway, we hear the engine a bit when accelerating to speed but once at speed, the Venza is quiet. My biggest complaint has been the creaky noise we sometimes get from the C pillar and the cross bar of the sunroof when driving over some road bumps. This is our first Toyota (after having an Acura and a Mazda) and so we were expecting better Toyota build quality. The only other glitch I can think of is the weather app on the infotainment centre seems to show for another city than we live in (the other city is about 10 km away). It will switch to my city when I'm further from this other city. The dealer checked other Venzas and found the app did the same thing in them. Weird. Easy solution, just get rid of the app from the screen. Apple CarPlay does the job. In the end, we got just what we wanted. A vehicle that allows us easy access, lots of room and great gas mileage. Thank you for a great video Andrea and Zack. **An update (Dec 30/23) We are now averaging 5.72 L/100 km or 41.1 mpg after 2 years of driving our Venza. Still love it and blown away by the great mileage.

[@jeffer1101]

I've had experience with Kia and Hyundai's in the past, and from my experience, they are well featured cars that seem to be decent for at least 5 years. However, after about year 7, they start to have many issues. I bought extended warranties so repairs were covered under that, but the dealership experience was always terrible. When I chose to replace my last vehicle, I chose the Venza Limited for a few reasons. One, I am hoping the Toyota dealership experience is better (it couldn't get worse than our experience at Kia). Secondly, I wanted something good on fuel since I figured fuel prices would increase over time (they have) and I wanted something with long term reliability, which Toyota Hybrids are known for. Strong resale value was also a nice added benefit. I've had my Venza now for almost 10 months and it's been great. No issues with it. I did buy some Michelin Cross Climate2 all weather tires for it last fall and they were great all winter (Southwestern Ontario) and saves me money changing and storing tires every spring and fall (which costs about $250/year). I sold the stock tires online to recoup a bit of money back. While the Star Gazer roof is a gimmick, it's actually a great feature. Roofs that open are mostly useless since the amount of wind noise/buffeting is always excessive and if you forget to close it, you can get bugs, dirt, rain in your vehicle. Also, the large glass roof lets in a lot of light to brighten up the cabin (since it's mostly dark in colour) and the "frosted" look prevents glare from the sun. While I do prefer buttons/knobs over the touch buttons, you do get used to them pretty quickly and in most cases, you set things once and don't need to fiddle with them much. The steering wheel does have buttons to control some common things if that helps. The fuel economy is outstanding and is very impressive. On my 26km work commute in city traffic during the spring/summer/fall, I've seen as low as 4.5L/100 kms (52 mpg). Fuel economy is a bit worse in the winter (since the engine runs a bit more often to keep the cabin warm), but it's often still in the 6s (35-40 mpg). Keep in mind, regular gas cars also use more fuel in the colder months too, so you'll use more fuel regardless. For comparison's sake, our Sorento with the 2.0L Turbo engine, in the city, is typically in the high 12s or low 13s (comparable to other V6 powered compact CUVs), so the Venza uses half to a third the fuel.

[@kartofle123]

I got the same impression about the Korean manufactured cars. They look good and have a lot of standard features and tech for the money but they don't have the long term reliability of the Japanese manufactured vehicles. Glad you're enjoying your Venza.

[@Carfan678]

[@jasonstewart50]

I have a 2013 Hyundai Sonata Limited that has become a money pit within the past two years - including an engine recall! I've lost trust in Hyundai's longterm quality and your comment kinda supports my fears. Unfortunately, Venzas are nowhere to be found at any dealers. I guess I'll have to hold on until inventory improves, like...I dunno...maybe a year from now. :(

[@jeffer1101]

@@jasonstewart50 Yea, everything is tough to get now. You can consider the RAV4 Hybrid too, although they are likely just as hard to find (but are less expensive). Either is a great choice. When it comes time to replace our Sorento, we'll consider an EV but I'm hoping the selection increases and prices come down.

[@bentru6905]

Super review, very cleaver on changing the original tires for Michelin, I was wondering why you didn’t deal with the salesman to put the Michelin right away ? And what color have you choose ? I am planning for the limited black nightshade in a few month, and will do the same as you on tires, just be more careful during winter time.

[@robbranham3066]

We love the moonroof!

[@shawnw5237]

I drive between Kelowna, BC and Rock Creek, BC several times a month. I find great pleasure diving this road in an cool early evening during the summer with the sunroof open. I really enjoy the light and fresh air of a sunroof along this route because of the forest that you can see through the roof. And the smell. It's wonderful! Zack is so wrong.

[@Blessindisguise]

I just clicked the bell button! 😄 i am really loving the content from you all. This car is real nice like the rav4 but I don't like that the cargo space is less as it cost more. But my dream car would be a corolla cross prime 🙌🏼.. at least hybrid is coming out this year

[@andreaspencer9813]

Thank you so glad you are enjoying the content! Looking forward to driving the Corolla Cross Hybrid.

[@newsmedia-one9756]

Excellent review as always! 🙌🏾 I feel like when I put it in sport mode it gives it a push and the vehicle feels way faster and it has much of a sportier feeling to it. I do wish my panoramic sunroof open however, but I do love to stargaze feature and I keep an on all the time.

[@sporty05]

My wife just bought a 2023 Venza Limited, absolutely love it so far! We don't have any children at home so for us it has plenty of passenger and cargo room. Really like the styling better than the RAV4 and Highlanders we looked at.

[@Greystoke1986]

Great review of the Venza and props for including other similar models for us to consider. If the Venza is "Lexus-lite" are the Hyundai models "Genesis-lite'? I'm looking right now to find a new SUV. No plug-in EVs. I live in N Florida and the charging infrastructure is pitiful as it is in most areas. I'll take a regenerative braking system and that Venza's superb gas mileage any day! Wow! With our increased gas prices higher milage is very appealing. However, it doesn't take over the substance of the vehicle. Any recommendations like the NX, RX, or loaded Venza? I love your review style and having two opinions. Thank you from your very Southern neighbor!

[@anthonyb755]

Love that sunroof feature but it should definitely open as well and be functional in that sense as well

[@andreaspencer9813]

I would love if it opened, best of both worlds

Opening Pano roofs have been a problem across all manufacturers. Do a search and you will be shocked at the repair costs once out of warranty.

Comparing this with the 2022 Tucson Limited Hybrid which is more powerful, has more goodies and is less expensive, how does the ride quality as well as seat comfort on trips compare? I'm waiting for both to arrive to test drive.

[@FranciscoContreras-wx6cj]

It would be interesting if you do a video like this for the 2023 Corolla. I wonder if it will come with wireless CarPlay and Toyota safety sense 3.0 like the 2023 GR Corolla.

[@utesichiban4009]

Great review and very timely and relevant for us currently. We are in the US and looking at the Venza XLE and Kia Sportage SX Prestige hybrid. Both come in around $38.5 US. We get more with the Kia but still a bit torn. We test drove a Venza yesterday but still have not been able to find a Kia hybrid test vehicle in our area to compare. Do you guys have an opinion on the drive quality (ans overall quality) of both vehicles? I suspect the Venza will hold its value better which is one of the main reasons we are considering it. Any opinions on how the new Sportage will fare in reliability and depreciation areas? Any insight is very appreciated.

Thank you for doing a new review. Can you guys do a new review of the Stelvio but basic model? Thanks

[@DeadAir21]

Doesn’t always work that way. Press cars are never the base model. They always get the upper or top trims.

[@taelogmor]

Great review as usual. Does that opaque function on the moonroof instantly deal with sun glare? If yes, it's not a gimmick.

[@jeffer1101]

It does. When I bought my Venza last August, I mostly chose the Limited trim as they had it on the lot (and vehicles were getting hard to get), so I just got that trim. Like Zack, I was never a fan of sunroofs/moonroofs. I've had them on previous vehicles but never used them. The bright sun/glare coming in when the shade was open was annoying and the wind noise (and buffeting) when open was deafening. The Venza does have a shade you can close, but I always leave it open. It helps brighten the cabin, but doesn't suffer from the glare that a regular glass panel would. The panel is "frosted" by default, so if you "turn it on", it makes it more transparent (to see through it, but there is still a bit of frost to it). To answer Andrea's question, it is a bit of a gimmick per se, but it's honestly one of my favourite features of the vehicle, and it's not one I even cared about when I bought it.

[@chanelw.9623]

I have the 2021 limited Venza with the stargaze moonroof and I love it to be honest I’m not a fan of open sunroofs and I love how I can just push a button and filter the sound like that comes in I also leave mines open all the time. I love my car and I tell people all the time that I love my car. I can definitely see getting this car and upgrading when some of the features change my biggest complaint is that it doesn’t have wireless Apple CarPlay which I have experience in a rental car and it was awesome I also think that the infotainment system needs to be updated and if the 2023 does that then the car would be perfect for someone like me who does not have young children. The icing on the cake would be if they put this out as a plug-in with all of the same features that I mentioned above.

[@larssfeihc9199]

Get one! They're excellent vehicles. Glad we got one for our family. Recently took it Florida and it was more than up to the task. As the weather warms in the north the milage is improving. 39.2 lifetime average mpg so far and going up! I only miss a heated steering wheel and cooled seats. Great review, Motormouth!

[@andreaspencer9813]

Thanks for sharing this and we are so glad you enjoyed the review!

[@suestor5510]

I have the 2021 Venza LE and love it. The only change I’d make is to add a sunroof.

[@AnonymousHippo5]

When will they bring a normal sunroof that can open up to the Venza?

[@ghenry85]

The Star Gaze is a gimmick, but it's a neat, and possibly good gimmick. If I were to look at the Venza I would get the LE. A salesman I talked to had a Venza hybrid and I asked what the difference(vs the hybrid Rav4 )was. And he said, quiter and less offroady(more forgiving ride on the road). My advice is to consider the Le Venza, if you are looking at the xle or se Rav4 Hybrid.

[@seano51]

I find it impressive. Definitely more so than a mesh screen that moves back and forth.

[@gavinparmar1316]

My wife and I looked at the Venza. I am 6'3", my wife is a very slim 5'. One thing we really liked about the Venza was that both of us, despite our height desparaties, were able to comfortably drive the vehicle with the correct seating adjustments. We were both leaning toward purchasing the Venza despite the minuses like less space over the RAV4 and that funky HVAC/infotainment setup using no physical buttons. But, we discovered the 2022 RAV4 Hybrid Limited now has dual power seats, that was enough to change our minds enough to put an order for the RAV4. I still don't understand why Toyota didn't improve the Venza to give it more interior volume in the back and keep the real buttons. We did drive a 2022 Limited Venza with an advanced technology package at a local dealership. Here in the United States that package adds a Heads Up Display into the $42,500 USD MSRP. Too rich for my wallet, but worth it if you want to have a BMW level technological sophistication with a Toyota Reliability.

[@ryanzeid146]

I have a ‘24 Venza Limited and it’s a great car. Very comfortable, excellent interior, great JBL sound system, terrific fuel economy, all the bells and whistles, built in Japan, etc. The only minor criticism I have of it is that, while it is fairly quiet for the most part, the road noise can get pretty elevated on poorly paved highways. I think it has more to do with the Bridgestone Ecopia tires that came with mine. Those tires are designed to maximize fuel economy, but sacrifice quietness as a compromise. I’ve heard when owners change to higher quality tires, the road noise is much improved. Overall, though, I love it!

Warming a car is bad for it, always start your car and drive away slowly until it warms up. Best thing for the car...

I had leased a 2021 Venza. The placement of the wireless charger would be fine if the start button was in another spot. Add more “cubby” space. It also feels small. At first I was fine with it but looking back, but it reminded me of the 2017 Rav. I am now leasing a 2022 Rav XSE Hybrid. Happier

Interesting that’s the two that I am debating pros and cons?

TSS 2.0 when it launched new in 2021 when other Toyota vehicles started offering TSS 2.5+ is a very questionable move by Toyota. Star Gaze roof is a gimmick. No tow rating and realistic hitch even just for bikes is odd. Not entirely sure Toyota has completely addressed the gas tank issue either. A very sharp looking and desirable vehicle marred by a few glaring issues. If the Venza can survive, probably won’t give it another look until it receives a redesign.

I love those advanced features especially in cars you have to wait for a year to get, if you ever get your hands on one. 😈

Saw this in another video, but this suv unlike the Rav4 and other toyotas is actually built in the tahara plant in Japan. True JDM car where the old unbreakable landcruisers and 4runners were built which is probably one reason why it feels more refined like a lexus.

Nissan Rogue 2023 vs Toyota Venza 2023 which is better?

Why only one option engine available just hybrid engine, I heard about Toyota developing new engine optimization Turbocharger twins scroll 2.4ltr This model coupé SUV sport style
