2021 Toyota Venza - Watch Before You Buy

[@lashondacorderakawizdomwitaz]

I’m buying it today. Going from 2016 Mercedes C300 to this beautiful hybrid in white! ♥️

[@revmatchtv]

Congrats!

[@TubeBrowser2]

LaShonda...did you get your Venza? How do you like it and how does it compare to your Benz? Thanks.

[@empresshunt7280]

I purchased the red one in May 2021. I love it. After a work week, I’d only burned a half tank of gas. A lot of head turning. The sound full..you don’t hear speakers banging in the back. Fun to drive on the highway. I love my Venza as much as I love my Mercedes CLA 250c. The backup cameras phenomenal. I don’t struggle to backup. Not afraid I’m going to hit anything. It’s really really nice. I love the tablet. I haven’t figured out how to see my heads up display. I’m not sure if mine is equipped with it. But, I do have the panoramic roof. I feel like Toyota does need to make the roof open. Keep you some screen wipes because you’ll leave your fingerprints on the screen and AC display.

[@rebeccamoran5382]

Congratulations you will love it. I bought mine in blueprint in March and absolutely love it . The car is amazing.

[@moonstone76425]

I just bought my 2021 Venza limited 2 weeks ago and I’m loving it. I had a 2007 RAV4 before and upgraded to this ! This is the first time I’ve own a hybrid car before and it taking at lot to get use too. All and all I love this car and haven’t found any issues with this car.

[@revmatchtv]

Great to hear!

[@joesince1956]

I got my 2021 Venza in March. Overall I love it, however having no raised buttons for the air, music, map, etc, you have to take your eyes off the road to see where to touch for these things. I'm averaging 40 mph, getting 45 mph on the interstate if I keep my speed around 68 mph. I can travel around 500 miles on a tank of gas which is nice for trips. The traffic sensors are very quick to respond when needed... the car automatically slammed on brakes when it saw a deer bolting across the road right in front of me, so always wear your seatbelt.

[@brianlee7738]

I love how Toyota brought back the nameplate as a hybrid only SUV, the Venza nameplate has finally came back after 6 years of not being available. Toyota has killed it with this new Venza.

[@user-nu2zc6xd2t]

I just got this last week. I am in love with this car 🚗

[@sophaman9193]

I have 2022 venza hybrid limited i love it i can run more than 1000 kilometers for 55 litre of tank make sure don't put your heavy foot on the paddle ok light foot on the paddle. Thanks for your video take care bye from milton Ontario Canada 🇨🇦

Ordered one Friday will be here early July and I can't wait!!

[@psychokittenvlog]

How do you feel about it now?

[@simonsung3737]

Purchased the Limited Coastal Grey in August. Averaging 42-44 mpg with majority of it on the highway.

[@revmatchtv]

Great MPG!

[@craftycrafter1960]

We signed the papers for a limited today. ☺️

[@johnbrews9724]

I own a Venza limited without the switchable skylight. It rides about the same as a Subaru Outback. Wind noise noticeable on highway. Road noise varies enormously with types of pavement. Engine noise no problem. Gas mileage 35-37 mpg. Handles well, seats comfortable, throttle & brake response very smooth. CVT excellent. Nav system awful, lane centering unpredictable, adaptive cruise control mostly good, but loses lead vehicle too easily on curves and hills, and picks up stopped vehicle at red light too late. If you are new to a hybrid as I am, take a look at the KZbin videos by the Car Care Nut. There are surprises in store about things like jump-starting, no alternator or starter, etc.

[@cluo7]

Really cool styling like a Lexus!

[@revmatchtv]

It looks great

[@ambitionary2048]

I hope I get this car before the end of the month

[@valeri4593]

I have the 2021 venza limited, i luv it, however there are issues with the cup holders, if there is a drink in it or your reaching for the dash the driver will hit the drink with their elbow, so you have to reach around to the dash. Also an issue with sun visor not coming down low enough to block out early sun. And there is a horrible noise having to do with the traction going over some not all dips!!! This car needs some improvements big time.

[@ohcanadaeh]

To get buttons control, get the LE trim.

[@justinlalugski2083]

Yes I missed out on the birds eye view and rear view mirror camera and heated seats but id honestly rather have the buttons over capacitive touch. Love my venza. Still has the power mirrors, seat, and liftgate, and the lane assist and adaptive cruise. Thats all I need. Rides like its on a cloud

[@thekenthouse6428]

I haven't seen one review anywhere of a lower-end trim Venza. Shame that all reviews focus on the loaded models.

The infotainment center is like having a huge flat screen TV. What's streaming on Netflix?

[@revmatchtv]

Issa big screen!

[@marcnobel3938]

I think it looks good. Better than the alternatives they offer in Europe right now. Great Review!

Thanks :)

What a beautiful car.

Great job on this. This is one of my contenders next to a Platinum Rogue, CX-5/CX-30, or a Kona.

what a beautiful CUV

[@staygroovybritt]

Yes! I thought this vehicle was a jag also when I first saw it on the road.

[@FrozenOcean]

At 1:33, how did you get Android Auto (or Apple Carplay) to fill the entire screen?

[@SheepNizzle]

I too need the answer to this!

[@tims6102]

Sorry, the photo in the video is an **artist's mock-up**, not real image. In the live shot of the infotainment screen (at 1:29), you can see the 12" screen is flickering slightly. In the mock-up shot of Apple Carplay (at 1:33), the image is static with no flicker and stationary camera. The white on black background gives it away too - no depth to the image, especially along the right hand border.

[@joalblo9581]

I hope they change the grill design soon. I like everything but that.

[@revmatchtv]

The grill is a bit bland for my taste. The interior is very nice though. The package feels refined.

[@emmanuelonuoha1880]

The backend looks amazing , the front end doesn’t do it for me. Looks too much like a catfish

[@revmatchtv]

It seems to be the direction Toyota is going. It's on the conservative side.

[@philsalsbery9994]

I love me some catfish, YUM!

[@empresshunt7280]

I agree. I own this vehicle in the limited. The front end doesn’t excite me. But, neither does Lexus’ front end. I prefer the Venza front end over the Lexus front end.

[@wurly164]

Like so many cars lately, it has the tablet like display, just slapped onto the dashboard, and I hate that.

Isn't it a recipe for disaster when you're driving 80 mph on the highway while looking up recipe on chocolate cake?

[@todtalk3912]

I really think they need to redo the front fascia (even though in sure it had something to do with its insane mpg people are getting over equivalent rav 4 hybrid on hwy) Point is, its noce, it can be a tiny bit better. Get rid of all the hard junk plastic on b pillar and bottom of doors. Make better electric modes, i.e. bmw has for its e versions where u drive to n from work it learns and guages by maps, ur route and best uses the power plants to make best use of the power n best efficiency and then shows u exactly what ur doing in simple ways that make sense. Also on this model, it has buttons on le n xle not equipped with the 12 inch screen. The 8 in screen has buttons as does the heat/ac has buttons and dials which i think look nice and are way easier to use. So id say if ur serious about this, skip the top trim, unless u need the sweet moon roof changing thing, that doesnt even open lol. Its not bad, but i wish theyd let their consumers change it around. This is for sale in japan as the harrier. Also this is exclusively made in japan, al venzas for 2021 are. That will change if it takes off. So get one while its made there. Im going after one of these for the sole purpose that i dont want a rav 4 hybrid with 2 vin number on the start. Im never going to drive offroad. Idc at all how slow it is. I drive far and care very much achieving 40 plus mpg n very excited about such

[@BotchedInvestigation]

Made in Japan is the way to go. So if i want a Japanese only car buy one with the Vin that begins with the number 2 ? Ok thank you! 100 percent Japanese for me

[@todtalk3912]

@@BotchedInvestigation noo, if it begins with 2 its def not Japanese it'll be made in canada with a 2, it will made in Japan with a j. Germany is w n usa made vehicles are 1,4, or 5. Cars made in Mexico are 3. Korea it will stsrt with a K. England=s. Italy is z. China, which atm are very rare (which is a good, but as we move closer to ev's i think they'll pop up more) is an L. So if ur buying a toyota look for a J at the of thr vin #.

@@todtalk3912 oh ok very nice much appreciated!

[@larryford9732]

The Lexus NX is about the same price the Venza but the 21 version is not the new engine. Why would I choose the Venza over the Lexus

[@thekenthouse6428]

If nothing else, Scotty Kilmer would give the nod to the Venza since it's made in Aichi, Japan and not Ontario, Canada like the NX.

[@psychokittenvlog]

For anyone over 5’10” who sits tall, you won’t fit. I hit my head getting in, and on the ceiling. The drivers side is slightly better than the passenger. Even with the drivers seat all the way back, my driving knee is very close to everything.

[@psychokittenvlog]

I had to buy mine without ever being able to sit in or drive one and I regret it. Is it nice? Sure. Do I want to get rid of it immediately? Also yes.

[@psychokittenvlog]

Having a wireless charger, but needing to plug it in to use Apple CarPlay? Stupid. Unnecessary.

[@psychokittenvlog]

6:47 your knees will touch, uncomfortably so. Your head will hit the body of the car getting in, and the ceiling when you’re in.

How tall are you? I’m 6’1 and I test drove one recently and I was fine

I WAS looking at the Venza... Until I found out it has a ZERO tow rating, and Imitation Leather Seating. PU-Leather or Bonded Leather, I don't care how it "feels" does not hold up. Sorry Toyota !

[@luckyfamilyman]

Cars these days aren’t built to last The way around that is to lease Takes the whole “built to last/not built to last” thing off the table. Gives control back to me everything is planned obsolescence these days so I plan on getting out of my lease when it all starts breaking down🤣

[@revmatchtv]

If you want to tow, this is not the one to get!

[@user-tb7rn1il3q]

Draw-Tite sells a 3500 lb hitch for the 21 Venza. You have to go aftermarket for the hitch and wiring. You will lose the kick sensor for the rear tailgate.

[@user-tb7rn1il3q]

@@luckyfamilyman Cars are built much better than they used to be. The average age of cars keeps increasing and before 2021 they were becoming more affordable.
