Toyota Venza, Toyota has to stand up and warranty the high voltage cable as part of their hybrid warranty.

Great perspective. I just returned from a 4000-mile road trip in my Tesla Y and was regularly frustrated that I couldn’t go certain places (such as national parks) in NM and CO because of range limitations once you stray too far from the interstates. The Venza might be the perfect replacement.

Just got my Venza Limited last night and OMG, I love it. I can’t wait to take it out for a road trip. Great video too.

This was such a great video. We purchased a Toyota Rav4 hybrid xse. Took the 2022 Toyota Venza XLE out for a spin while my Rav4 was in for its maintenance. Traded the Rav4 in for the new Venza before the day was over.

I had to take my '23 Venza through two mountain passes in the snow, it was amazing. With the right tires, it's such a quiet and smooth ride. In Asia, this is called the Harrier, and older generations of the Harrier was sold in North America as the Lexus RX until 2008.

I have a '22 Venza LE base model . Had it 10 months , 13,000 miles. I average 45-48 mpg every tank, have nothing bad to say about it. I wish I could have afforded the higher trim level like a limited . they call it CVT , but has no belt or pulleys. It is really just an electric drive. Two motors in front and 1 in back. I love this review none the less . I love my Venza . I was able to buy at sticker with no dealer mark up !

this was a good video and I’m glad I found it. loved the endless positivity about this car. I have a 2023 Venza Limited on order that should arrive in 2-3 months and I can’t wait! this video made me even more excited.

Thanks for the review. I got a 2021 Venza and I love it will take a road trip on it

I got a 2023 Venza Limited 2 weeks ago and so far love it. Thanks for this review as it answered some of my concerns. I plan on taking mine on a 600 road trip which includes mountain driving and was a little dubious, but you put my concerns to rest. BTW, supplies are still very tight and dealers are still charging premiums.

Best of both worlds is my Rav 4 Prime. 85% of my driving in EV.

Nice review and nice shirt! I was just at buc-ee in Austin for the first time lol

After 3 Rx350s (which we loved!), we bought a Venza for the gas mileage: AND luv it! We own a Mercedes 350PHEV .. wouldn’t buy it again: great gas mileage, but expensive purchase. Considered a TESLA, but didn’t want to be dependent upon 100% electric, recharging on road trips, etc. (Ps* I prefer the “start & seat heating / cooling buttons” EXACTLY where they are placed 💁🏻‍♀️) Great review & best-kept-secret vehicle! 👏🏼

I have a 2021 Limited. Traded in my Lexus ES350. No regrets at all. Best car I have ever owned. I would definitely buy another.

Awesome review, thanks.

I bought a limited edition a few months ago. While the start button is absolutely in a weird place, I swear you get used to it. And it sorta makes sense after a while. When I first get into my car, I turn on my bluetooth on my phone to make sure it connects with the car and then toss my phone into the charger space to the right of the start button. Now, my hand now naturally sways to the left to push to start the car. So I'm fully used to it and suspect that's what the engineers of the Venza were going for.

I enjoyed your review. I just got my 2024 Venza and so far am happy with it. I’m looking forward to taking it out on a road trip soon, after I break it in more 😊.

I saw a Venza for the first time a few weeks ago. It made me turn my head and think, "What's that?!?!" I have watched a ton of videos and they all say the Venza is "Lexus like". That's odd because I have not heard anything about the RAV4 being as good as the Venza and they are built on the same platform. I'm very impressed with your review. I hadn't seen any video where someone had driven one for over 4,000 miles. That is an awesome testimonial. Btw, the consensus is that the start button is like an afterthought. I don't want a RAV4 I don't want a CR-V, I don't want anything electric. The infrastructure for EVs is way far away from being even practical. What is practical is just like you said, to fill up for 5 minutes and drink your coffee while you drive. I'm never waiting an hour to charge my car. I live in N FL. To get anywhere we have to drive a distance. North Florida is nothing like South Florida. Places are way more spread out. The driving manners and fuel economy are amazing. I'm very close to deciding on getting a Venza for my first SUV. I can't go offroad and I'd like a little more power but everything else negates any negatives. The new Nightshade Edition is sweet. I'm tempted to wait for the 2024 model to see if they can increase the hp a bit and fix some things like the start button. I'm not sure but I'm starting to itch for a Venza. Thank you so much!!!

just bought Toyota Venza LE 2022. love it very smooth ride.

Toyota has been perfecting their Synergy drive on the Toyota Prius for nearly 25 years now. The ecvt used in Toyota's Synergy hybrid drive system is nothing like a standard CVT. It is solid as a rock built with gears not belts and pulleys and is virtually bulletproof.

perfect one. how about the sound system? Thanks for the video
