My GF just picked up a nightshade edition Venza yesterday- despite being a BMW M5 owner, I’m very impressed by how smooth and seamless the hybrid drivetrain is… plus the build quality really is more like Lexus. Really nice SUV, of course Scotty’s unbiased endorsement means a lot too. High quality car for the price 👍🏻

Venza is designed and built as a reliable and practical luxury SUV. It doe not have the fancy tech, badge heritage and sporty driving dynamics that most luxury car buyers are looking for. Therefore it is difficult for the Mercedes, BMW or Audi owners to even consider buying a Venza. To them the Venza is just another Toyota that dressed up into a luxury vehicle. In my case I think the Venza is 90-95% there as far as being a luxury vehicle, better value than the German alternative, and it does not draw any attention while it is on the road which is all good with me.

Another selling point of the Venza. They are all made in Japan.

The venza is awesome. Its a luxurious insulated rav4 basically.

You are really one honest auto reviewer/mechanic Uncle Scotty. Keep it up!

I still remember a few weeks ago Scotty explained why we should never buy a hybrid, even Toyota. A friend brought him one to work on and he couldn't. Then the place they took it had to charge about $800 labor to replace a $30 part because of the complications with a hybrid. Plus, this has an atkinson cycle engine in it, which in another video Scotty said no one can work on. I guess he forgets he tells us these things.

Appreciate this, Scotty

I always enjoy when Scotty praises the hybrid system, makes me feel comfortable about my purchase. 😊

A friend of mine just got one a couple of months ago and he and his wife love it.

We have a 2022 Rav4 Hybrid, we can drive between 0->30mph in neighborhood environments for a good mile, sometimes two! The vehicle even switches to EV if you're on the cruise control at 50mph going downhill. We're averaging 42.1 mpg at the pump over 31K miles!

Glad to hear this. My 2019 Fusion Hybrid uses the Prius hybrid system and can easily get 60mpg in city driving. In big cities you can almost run entirely on EV given all the red lights and regenerative braking.

Eclipse Viewing Roof. Nice!

I have a '21 Highlander Hybrid and absolutely love it. 3-row SUV, 34 mpg

Very enthusiastic video. If you’re sold, move fast-no more being made. I drive the 2021 version, and I agree with Scotty that ride is good and pick-up is good, and rear cross traffic warning is good, and gas mileage is great. My model has too much road noise on the highway. Also, don’t like the nav system - use Waze instead. Although big on the outside, I have to duck when I get in evens though driver seat is set low as possible. But on passenger side seat cannot be lowered and I bump my head getting in. So mostly a good car. Some annoyances. Not as much fun as BMW X1, but way better mileage and way better ride.

Scotty, Toyota’s eCVT is an all gear transmission. Nothing like Nissan, Subaru and most others on the road. I have one and it is great!

I have two RAV4 Hybrids both bought brand new. 2022 Toyota RAV4 XLE Hybrid in Silver made in Japan & 2023 Toyota RAV4 SE Hybrid in Cavalry Blue also made in Japan. I also average 39 MPG city and highway combined. It does run better with premium fuel so I always use premium fuel. So far no issues they run perfect.

No need for premium gas. In mixed suburban -highway driving get 35 mpg. But easily get 45mpg in suburbia in ideal conditions.

Venza is a really nice car, currently I have a 2022 Venza. One thing I don't like is that the two front windows have a UVU coating on the glass which you don't want to Tint without being damaged. Most window tint locations won't want to tint you're windows because of the coating will Easily scratch off the coating. Some of the Lexus vehicles have the same coating on the windows, just an FYI.

:) THANKS for sharing! NICE RIDE indeed, but Corolla Cross may be better buy...ALL the BEST!

25 hybrid Camry is gonna be something else. Good move for going all hybrid no more trash 8 speed automatic. Can’t wait to see how it does in consumer reports testing

I like how SK covers everything important and hasn't lost his Texas accent. I have to turn the volume down though!

RAV4 hybrid and the Venza are similar size. But the Venza is much fancier

Hi Scott thank you for all your information and content please keep up with your work and God bless you and your family and friends.😅

Perfect car for the Solar Eclipse if your destination is cloudy and you need to get to better weather! Even if you get stuck in traffic! 😊

Yes "Quality". Like the "Quality" that led to a mass recall of all their vehicles in the 2010s. "Quality" that leaves many of them rotting in people's yards from expensive component failures. "Quality" o and G a level that nobody, and I do mean NOBODY in my Family or among my friends will ever own one ever again because the only thing reliable about them is the constant need of repairs.

Whoever has one of these is pretty lucky! As far as a reliable SUV hybrid it doesn't really get much better!

My 2017 Camry Hybrid XLE is a full hybrid non plug in and my battery is in the same location as that vehicle on the inside

This Venza is the best looking crossover SUV Toyota makes imo, and that includes the Lexus models. Just a great looking car from every angle.

built in eclipse glasses. nice

I have had the 2022 Venza XLE for about 2 years now and I'm loving it. The acceleration is more than adequate enough, drive is smooth, gas mileage is amazing for a SUV. My only gripe is storage space up front, not much of it.

Awesome mr C K.grear car good información

My 2022 Prius XLE ' has averaged 58.8 mpg so far over 27,000 miles. About 50-50 highway to city as I live 35 miles outside of Phoenix metro.

This video is so chaotic but I love it 😂

Ha Scotty I just bought a 24 Camry TRD with the v6. Since the new gen will only be hybrid and 4 cyl. What do you think? Was that a good choice.

They have newer lithium batteries aftermarket for the prius. Save about 1k over oem. 415k on my Prius

Put together a package of a Toyota Corolla Cross on their website and it came with a price of 25k. When I searched dealer inventory, every model was in the 30's. That's a big jump.

Love our 2021 Rav4. 42 - 44 avg MPG for the last 2 years. Quick enough. Ride / handling balance is near perfect for this class of car. Zero repairs to date. 😅

I have been thinking of getting a Toyota SUV however.. I do not like the interior of the RAV4 so seeing the Venza makes me hopeful!

My Malibu with 2.5 ecotec got an easy 38 mpg without CVT and hybrid complexity

"you can have a hot fanny" 😂😂😂 you just make my day- thanks Scitty

We own, a bought new '18 RAV4 XLE hybrid and love it. Although it is the last generation I like it better than the new ones but that is me. Anyway I hardly see a Venza on the road and I think I know why. They can cost quite a but more than a comparable RAV4 so it really is a waste to spend the extra money and there is more cargo space in a RAV4. Venza is a really good vehicle but for the money buy the comparable Lexus model.

I'm sure many will like it and will buy for the Toyota name as well as the razzle-dazzle technology. I've owned several Toyotas and still am an owner, so I took one for a test drive. Hybrid drivetrain was reasonably seamless but otherwise vehicle provided a numb driving experience. Didn't like 'plastic feeling' interior and large screen that looked like an after-thought. Not for me.

I love my Venza!

33.1 my gas rav 4 city highway plus winter iddle I do drive soft who needs hybrid

sloping rear roof stakes away cargo space .. thus , RAV4 base hybrid for the win 🏆

Toyota needs to put that 2.5 into the corolla or bring back celica/matrix. And of course mate it to a real 7 speed manual with limited slip diff. That car would get near 40mpg, last forever and be fun to drive. No need for hybrid, cvt, auto, ev, fix or repair daily junk.

Better yet, offer to start paying for the repairs on these hunks of junk. My dad would appreciate you paying for the 8 engines he put in his little pickup, my brother would be dancing for getting something back from the 6 transmissions his Tacoma went through, and my niece would find a lovely use for the cost of the Three front ends her car went through. That doesn't even touch what my friends went through with theirs. Pieces of junk.

Sissy ? Never would have guessed 😊
