Absolutely right! I had a bad experience leasing the previous Venza (2.7 L), made in US. Terrible quality of the plastic panels inside, after a year many pieces of the dashboard were popping out.

I pre-ordered this Japanese-import -Venza Limited in Ruby Flare Pearl in October 2022 for my wife and got it before Christmas. It is truly a luxury vehicle. The gas mileage is unbelievable. Its personal best so far is 50.1 MPG. As for the 2023 RAV4, I eventually pre-ordered the XLE Premium in Windchill Pearl for my son and got it a month later. Both are excellent SUVs. We feel fortunate to have both.

Nathan is spot on with his comments. We have a 2020 RAV4 Hybrid XLE and a 2022 Venza LE and prefer the Venza. It also gets better gas mileage. After 25,000 miles on each vehicle the RAV4 sits at ~36mpg vs. the Venza at ~43mpg.

Just bought a 2024 Venza Limited trim for my wife. Beautiful car. Drives quieter than my Rav4. Dash is more modern looking. Sleek is a good description of the dash. Getting 42.3 mpg as of today. The Stargazer roof is very nice if you live in a cloudy environment. That blast of daylight through the Stargazer makes the grey days nicer.

It’s the Toyota Harrier in other markets. For those that don’t know Toyota Harrier was what they called the Lexus RX before Lexus brand launched globally and RX became it’s own model.

You guys always seem to throw shade at the venza. I own a 2021. I think its has plenty of power, low end and top end. And no one seems to mention that the base model starts at $34,xxx. Mine had no options, yet came standard with auto folding mirrors. Auto lift gate. Wireless charging. Toyota Safety Sense 2.0. 1 touch up and down on all 4 windows. 8 inch screen. Bought new and now have 26,000 miles on it. My only complaints are that it's a little tight on knee room.

When my sister got her rav4 hybrid, she also considered the venza. The issues were the slight price increase and the bigger body. She does not need or want something that big. I realize it isn't THAT big, but it is bigger than she needs so why would she spend the extra money? If Toyota would keep increasing their prime lineup, they could have complete dominance with the cross, rav4 and venza. Unfortunately, that does not appear to be the direction Toyota is going. They already got rid of the Prius prime after something like 2 years and have stated they are starting from scratch with their fully electric vehicles.

My wife has the a 2020 hybrid rav4. She is supposed to be getting 500+ range but never does. She’s getting about 35mpg so the mpgs aren’t too bad, but the problem is we can only pump about 10 gallons in the 14 gallon tank even when it’s completely empty. There was even a recall to replace the tank and fill tube. The recall helped a little, before the recall we could only pump 8 gallons before the pump would shut off.

Wow.. Thanks for the review.. I agree with just about everything you mentioned.. But you didn't mention my biggest gripe about the Venza.. The outward visibility it terrible in my view.. The visibility problem seriously hurts safety. Toyota made the roof, or roofline way way way to low. The A-pillars are slanted back much more horizontally.. This reduces visibility. If Toyota made the Venza more boxy and raised the roofline about two or three inches, it would have made the Venza MUCH better. I'm surprised you didn't mention that ..

I would have bought it but we REFUSE to buy another vehicle with interior colors that have been shoved down everyone’s throats for more than 1/2 my life. I also looked at the new Rav but the fit and finish, the comfort, cabin noise wasn’t nearly as good as my 11 Rav 4WD Limited. Ultimately I chose the Subaru Forester Touring. In 25 the Forester will be available with the Rav / Venza hybrid system. When it comes out I’ll sell my Forester and buy a Forester Touring Hybrid.

The Toyota RAV4 Hybrid has the exact same engine as the regular Toyota RAV4 gasoline engine. The difference is obviously that the Hybrid also has a battery pack with regenerative charging and four electric motors for 4WD. To say that the Venza is underpowered is incorrect as the RAV4 is not underpowered and both models share the same gas/electric powerplant. My wife owns a 2023 RAV4 Hybrid and l own a RAV4 LE gasoline powered model. And l would say that it is possible that her vehicle outperforms mine (with the same gas engines).

Honestly I love the looks upfront, so gorgeous... However, my gripe with Venza(Toyota marketed this with Harrier other side of Pasific ) is at rear.... Toyota designer going too far with split taillights, turn indicators and reverse lights placed lowered on rear bumper and sized as tiny like pencils.... Last week, this type of car got rear end collision because other motorists failed to notice the indicator.., too low down.., And those indicator and reverse light modules get recalled for mud and flood water damage... Toyota needed radical facelift for its taillights or for next gen models.... Again great front looks but atrociously design fail for its taillights assembly.....

Exactly my thoughts! I would not have missed a beat of purchasing this car if not for that ugly rear. I fell in love with the gorgeous front. If Toyota redesigns that rear to a stellar look, I'm convincing all my Lexus friends to convert.

In many ways yes. But for me, the low ride of a Camry is a dealbreaker. I have a 21 Tundra with a 3 inch lift, and the wife has a 20 Sequoia and the ride height is high and visibility is phenomenal. I rent vehicles almost daily for my job travels and getting in to a car feels as if my rear end is 3 inches off of the ground. It’s too unsettling for me.

The better buy is go straight to a highlander. The Venzas sloping rear roof line kills much of the cargo room, and the rav has pretty cheap materials and little if any NVH materials. For the low 40s, just go to the highlander.

Definitely being a bit Hyperbolic. The Venza has plenty of space for everyday driving. Also, a low 40s Highlander is going to be a stripped LE model, and any Hybrid (let alone Hybrid + AWD) Highlander is going to be hard to obtain at MSRP in this market. An Highlander Hybrid AWD XLE with the 12" screen is $47,000-$48,000 MSRP by the time you get done with destination and port installed accessories. Most dealers are not going to give up that kind of Highlander for MSRP.

I looked at Highlander first, but ended up with a Venza. Unless you need third row seating or the extra cargo, it's just too big of a car. Also the styling will be closer to a RAV4. The Highlander starts at a higher pricepoint to match the technology you would get on a Venza. The big thing I see is the Venza is built for the Japanese/Asian market and a luxury Toyota, while RAV4 and Highlander are appliances/utilities.

@@panzer_TZ Toyota charges far to much for their high end trims anyway. 34k in a rav just to get a sunroof and heated seats for an xle premium? I'd rather spend the money on something larger and deal with things I don't need anyway. Most dealers near me are MSRP, just have to wait for it to arrive. Even then comparing a rav4 limited hybrid at the low-mid 40s vs a highlander hybrid at mid-high 40s, it's a no brainer being it's far larger, has a way more refined ride and NVH materials, and gets extremely similar mileage.

last comment about manual transmission, made me cringe. Unfortunately Americans dont really know how to drive a manual (globaly speaking), as I heared engine reving to 3.5k rpm when down shifting. They say they like to have fun but they dont know how to drive it anyway :D, you still need to know how to drive automatic, especially older gears which you need to help with accelaration pedal to switch.
