Positive Review

"Exceptionally Vehicle"

The Venza an Impressive vehicle and the driving experience gets better as she broken in. It’s well tune in Handling and power for daily driving. Fuel economy exceeds Toyota’s numbers as I’ve seen 45.8 mpg. -Impressive.... Online reviews show touch volume and adjustments require constant tapping. -This is Wrong..... Volume, fan, temperature settings adjust easy by just keeping the finger on the touch selection. What’s very well..... This vehicle equipped in Limited model is outstanding in the following categories: • Soft -Tec material • interior ergonomic design • intuitive 12.3 display • touch screen operation for audio, temp, navigation, and monitoring system. • Seating front and rear space well design. • Panoramic clear/frost option to diffuse interior lighting. • Numerous safety features that work well in lane assist, blind spot, and birds eye viewing of vehicle. • Quite cabin with the exception on poorly maintained roads. Exterior: • Excellent aerodynamic lines that flow front to rear. • Pearl White and Red color accents the lines on the vehicle well. • Designed in similarly to Lexus NX and RX and Porsche/Jaguar rear end lights. Mechanical: • 2.5 4 cylinder and electric motor provides performance of a 6 cylinder with outstanding fuel economy. • Auto AWD a brilliant touch to mechanical design of vehicle. • Gas/Electric motor working in tandem and shifting on the fly is unnoticeable. • More than sufficient power at 219hp with (3) options of Sport, Normal and ECO modes. • Handling on turns impressive for a crossover SUV. -Outstanding vehicle for its class

Critical Review

"Fuel tank issue like Rav 4"

I initially like the car, new design, style, new teach. Unfortunately, it has same issue like Rav 4. Toyota advertises 2021 Venza is equipped with 14.5 gallon fuel tanks. From Full tank to empty , I can only fill up 10.5 gallon max. 14.5 gallon is unreachable. This is Hybrid car, which MPG can be reached 38 or up. It means I lost over 100 miles range , that's unacceptable for hybrid car.

Headrest is a pain in the neck!
Cons

Headrest

Beautiful car but the headrest bothers me so much I'm thinking of trading it in and getting a different make/model SUV. My shoulders and neck have hurt since I bought it. I've bought things to help, but nothing works.

Best Vehicle I have owned
Pros

Mileage, adaptive cruise, lane centering

Cons

Passenger seat, engine can sound loud

2022 Venza Pros: Mileage (winter is lower), lane centering, adaptive cruise, comfortable seats Cons: Heating steering wheel doesn't go all the way around, passenger seat lacks height adjustment. The previous vehicle was a 2016 MKX, this vehicle is quieter than it. I find the passenger seat can be harder to get into for people 5'10 or taller. No height adjustment. The seat is comfortable, and there are no other issues, just be aware if you are constantly going to be the passenger. My spouse has a lead foot and can still get the rated mpg. I drive more conservative and get better than rated mielage. This vehicle is great for someone who doesn't need a huge CUV/SUV but wants some room, fuel economy and tech features. There are nice luxury touches in places where hard plastics are normally located. I call this the fancy RAV 4. Plenty of acceleration when needed. Since the vehicle is quiet when the engine does kick on it can sound harsh. First time with a CVT. If you want transmission gear shifts and a more driving excitement feeling this will not be the car for you.

Poor body design
Pros

Good mileage

Cons

Poor body design

I leased this car and I hate it. Everytime I get into it I bump my head and I'm only 5' 7" tall. Poor design. No matter how I set the seat, I still bump my head getting in. The rest of its features don't even matter to me. This one flaw ruined the car for me. I'd never buy it and can't wait until the lease runs out.

Best car I've owned
Pros

Functionality and MPG

Cons

None

Does everything well. I went for a Limited. Why buy a higher prices Lexus like a NX350H. Both are super cars. Keep that extra money. I like it so much I updated to a 2023 Limited. Hard to beat 42MPG. When its cold out it drops a little. The gas engine runs longer for heat. The A/C is electric. A lot of car for the money.

Can't go wrong
Pros

Gas mileage

Cons

Boring

Lexus in a Toyota body! Boring vehicle but does everything without having to think about it. 40 miles to the gallon four-wheel drive, JBL stereo system and very comfortable seats.
