WHICH IS BETTER ? | Lexus RX350 VS Toyota Venza Comparison | Price | Resale Value | Features

[@augustineigbele9477]

Venza is just a bumped up camry or slashed down sienna. If u're with me drop a like 👍🏾.

[@234drive]

I am with you

[@AdamsDee]

It's actually a mix of highlander and camry.

[@augustineigbele9477]

@@AdamsDee highlander is more rugged and different in many ways.

[@AdamsDee]

@augustineigbele9477 you're right about highlander. I've used the 2009 camry, 2008 highlander, and 2010 vanza. You'll see the similarities in them, compared to sienna

[@augustineigbele9477]

@@AdamsDee yea, you're right. most Toyotas of that generation share the same platform.

[@driguezlamerveille3507]

I am not an SUV guy, no matter how bad the roads are, I would find a way to drive my sporty sedan. That said, between these two, I will go with the RX. Look at the way a 2010 car beats a 2014. Imagine having a 2014 RX....This should tell you a lot about how smart the company called toyota is. Here you see two cars built by them, two fantastic cars, but neither gets in the way of the other. There are people who would die for the venza and at the same time, you will see a large following for the RX. Toyota makes cars for everyone!!

[@234drive]

This is the most accurate comment in the world. Toyota knows what they are doing

[@MrSahbunky]

Lexus is built by Toyota for the U S market for luxury. That's where it derived its name LEXUS, which means Luxury EXport to US

[@ogiejames9110]

​@@MrSahbunky That's quite interesting. Learned something new as a car fanatic .. makes alot of sense why they're a bigger luxury brand in the US

[@akinjideakinpelu8764]

Good comparison quite educative but I am a blind person who is your Best follower and I watch almost every if not all the video you put out because they've always guided me in my decision on which car to buy what I did really like was the fact that you were saying this and this which one where you refering to as a blind person I could not get it so you could have mentioned the name of the car please note that you have blind followers thanks.❤❤❤

I remember when you bought yours. Would you recommend that I get one based on it doesn't give issues?

[@raphaelumite3134]

I'll go for Venza, over and over again...but new generation Lexus utterly outshines and way better than the Venza latest generation until it was discontinued. Venza was discontinued in 2015 and the newest generation was revamped in 2020/2021. But they decided to discontinued the Venza again. Lexus RX 350 2019 till date is a beauty to behold.

[@234drive]

Why Venza ?

[@raphaelumite3134]

@@234drive Venza was Manufactured in Japan...and it's not exposed to salt water. On the other hand, Lexus RX 2009-2015 was manufactured in Canada. and the used ones are exposed to salt waters in Canada

[@Blaq2k]

Venza is still being produced, a hybrid

[@raphaelumite3134]

Go and check...yes, it was manufactured in hybrid only form in 2020. But as at now, they have discontinued production due to poor sales.

[@ogiejames9110]

​@@raphaelumite3134..they should have just left it the archives after the first discontinuation, like they've done in the past with other Toyota models rather than revamping it. It's also high time they come to the realization that crossover suvs (merger of Sedan/Suv) are better of, offered standardly as luxury vehicles or nothing. i mean take a look at the success of the Rx, Gle coupe, BMW X6, Lamborghini urus et al, they all have something in common

[@Jahphilo]

Thank you for this comparison. Great work. Would have loved if you talked about the fuel efficiency too...

[@Maropuzo101]

The RX is far better than the Venza.... I have tested the both of them what he said concerning the driving aspect, he is very correct... The Venza does not have good balance at all......

[@234drive]

Hehe, thanks for the confirmation

[@okparacharles117]

I will pick the rx350 moat especially the sport edition. From all looks the rx350 is a premium car both in and out.

exactly

[@seunoye943]

The rx is waaaay better. Especially the facelift model from 13/14. That said, you were not able to get good footage of the LED lamps, if the engine was running, the flickering would be as a result of the LED being powered by the alternator, but this case, it's likely because of the nature of the LED. In any case, to fix it, you'd have to adjust the refresh rate of your camera till the flickering vanishes

[@234drive]

Thanks for the tip on flickering

[@wandeshokunbi]

Seems as though Chinese vehicles are now flooding the Nigerian market. Can you do review videos about them? Maybe compare them against our regular Nigerian bad boys. How do they perform, purchase cost, maintenance cost, duties, availability of parts? GAC, JAC, Changan, Geely, etc.

[@chibuzoboltzmann]

Funny thing is that the Venza now looks like the Rx from 2021. It finally crossed over to an SUV.

Different year, cheaper parts on Venza, public demand. These are the local factors that affect the prices of both. However, I think u guys didn't mention key functionality difference btw them. Lexus Rx, typically all wheel drive, higher ground clearance. Most Venzas are front wheel, except special models. This is important to know for anyone considering Do comparison btw Toyota highlander and 4Runner. There is important functionality difference btw those too.
