I was happy to see the Venza at number 3. Very surprised you ranked it above Lexus. I have always been a Lexus person. However, I couldn’t find any hybrid Lexus SUVs.. I found the 2023 Venza Limited, however, it is a great Segway between the two.. it offers the about the same luxury as Lexus with a Toyota price. I tried the RAV4. I did not like the boxiness or the cheap materials but it is a great buy. Even though you’re sacrificing on cargo space with the Venza, it is a great SUV and works for my family. Since purchasing in February, I have had a chance to try a RX and a NX and still feel you get better value for the money with the Venza. Same options in the NX Luxury is $15k more then the Venza.

Regarding the RAV4, I’m 5’3” with shorter legs. Having the driver’s seat forward enough for my legs in the ‘22 and ‘23 RAV4 put the door window controls on the driver’s door in an awkward position for my hands to reach, having to pull my forearm back. The driver’s door controls in the ‘22 Highlander are angled upwards and positioned a bit differently, so I didn’t have this issue with it, nor with the Venza. Something you might want to pay attention to if you’re a shorter driver.

[@jacobbecchi1256]

How is yor initial impression holding up? We are thinking of getting one

[@zlvirag]

Thanks for this. Well done, and I believe a fair ranking. Nice, but not surprising, to see all the Toyotas. Originally, we were going for the Corolla Cross, but the wait time, in our area is 2 yrs. and possibly longer. So we switched to the RAV4. Wait time for it is 12 months +? But we are ok with that as our Jetta TDI gets about 4.3/100 km. Sadly the price of diesel here now is constantly 40 cents more per litre. One of the reasons for the move to Toyota.

[@alexat62]

I am looking to get the RAV4 Hybrid, and have put money down on it. I ordered the Pearl White with the light tan interior. I am hoping I won't have to wait a year for it!!!

[@caridadramos]

In the USA or Canada ? I can’t find them with light interior 😢

[@bho6486]

We love our Venza Limited. At the time we got it (Aug 21), it was a nicer interior than the NX and felt more updated. And was more affordable, got better gas mileage and was quieter. Two years on, we are still averaging around 6 - 6.3 L/100km. The size is perfect for use, it is stylish and we love the Blueprint blue colour. Just wish we could have got the tan interior.

[@codincoman9019]

Venza should be at #1 in this top. No Kia and Ford clunkers.

[@CarlosMartinez-mr1qb]

Great Review!!! Thanks

[@1967ABCDEF]

Love your videos, always to the point . That said , I am not sure Rav4 hybrid should be the first choice , its reliable, yes , its good hybrid system , yes , but its painful to drive with very high cabin noise decibel. Engine is noisy and cabin not insulated at all . Good luck having a conversation while driving . i would rather go with lexus RX350h , as best value !

[@highhplainsdrifter9099]

Good info on the RAV4! I've only seen them, & they did look kinda cheaply made...but then they are kinda cheap relative to the others. 😅😂

[@codincoman9019]

Did you try the Venza? That should be the #1 from all relevant indicators POV: reliability, TCO, longevity, safety, comfort, safety, economy, quality/price ratio etc.

[@boblol1118]

I would go for Ford Hybrid! I own a Ford Escape 2013 for 10 years now and have had no issues with it

[@geothermal7999]

I’m in the market for a hybrid, but how good is it in extreme winters that last 6, 7 months (in the negative temps) in the northern part of the midwest? Is it worth buying?

[@codincoman9019]

It is a hybrid (best value for money, most reliable car segment, according to the Consumer Reports studies), not an electric clunker (the least reliable cars, as per the same CR studies). Yes, the electric-only range will decrease in the winter, but the ICE will work fine and the mpg will still be good, because the ICE for hybrids is usually in Atkinson cycle, very efficient, especially in Toyota/Lexus engines.

[@tcbpapa]

For me a noisy cabin is a deal killer. I wonder if there is an awd hybrid with decent gas mileage, excellent reserve power, 3500+ lbs towing, and a quiet (no road noise) cabin?

[@Noypi54494]

My 2021 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Platinum AWD has a very quiet cabin. Not as quiet as my Lexus but good enough

[@muqdishogirl9244]

Great ❤❤❤

[@codincoman9019]

Your top is almost good on paper. Almost. But people do look also for the quality/price ratio. Thus I would switch Venza with RAV 4, because Venza seems the best; I would replace the NX with the UX (far better overall KPI's and real life experience), I would take out Kia and Ford and replace them with other Toyota and Honda hybrids. The top Japanese brands (except Mazda and Subaru, late for the hybrids' party but amazing in ICE's) do own the hybrids' segment.

[@tonelocrian]

This is a good list with essentially no surprises. Honda needs to step up its hybrid game & I think they could create some game changers by adding hybrid systems to the Passport, the Pilot & the HR-V models

[@davidbui3751]

how ab tucson hybrid? is it same rank as sportage hybrid?

[@johnwetzel1048]

It's not a no brainer to me. The RAV4 is a great car but it is about $6,000 more than the Corolla Cross and it is due for a re-style soon. The Cross is a new design. Plus the Corolla Cross has the most recent hybrid design and the RAV4 still uses the old design. The Cross is slightly smaller and more maneuverable and easier to park but still has plenty of interior cargo room.

[@mkhred01]

Last year we looked at a Rav hybrid limited but the fit and finish wasn’t good, it was uncomfortable and had a lot of road noise. It was subpar to my 11 Rav 4WD Limited. We then looked at the Venza and fell in love with it. It was awesome, but we couldn’t get it with Tan or brown leather interior. It only came in either 34 year old depressing, drab, gloomy coffin like boring Gray or Black. We settled on a Forester Touring with Saddle Brown interior.

[@highhplainsdrifter9099]

Informative remarks on the RAV4!🤔

[@seanjay508]

Yes the RAV4 fit and finish is subpar and also loud as hell.

[@codincoman9019]

So you didn't go for the amazing Venza because of some stupid interior colour (easily fixable with some little money)?!?... Wow!!!

[@Doc1855]

@@codincoman9019 When I’m spending $40K for a vehicle I shouldn’t have to pay an additional $3-5K for new carpet and leather upholstery and door inserts. I remember when you could order any color combinations that you wanted. After all the automotive manufacturers use to want to please their “Valued Customers” as individuals, not as a herd of cattle. Every automaker since 1990 has decided that everyone on the planet wants gloomy, depressing, bland, boring, outdated Gray or Black interior colors as standard. 80% of automobiles manufactured from 1990-1995 were White with Gray interior. That was great almost 35 years ago but sucks now. It’s like Henry Ford said, You can have any color you want as long as it’s Black.
