So the battery is under the back seat now and not under the front passenger seat? I bought a 2021 Highlander Hybrid so I haven't been watching you as often. I've forgotten how fun your reviews are!
Thanks for this video Jeff. You convinced me to buy one myself. It’s coming in as Ruby flare red. More videos about it especially maintenance things. Thanks !
Jeff. I noticed you have driven both cars at 70 mph so I hope you can answer my question. As far as highway road noise, wind noise, tire noise is concern. How much quieter is the 2023 Toyota Crown compared to this 2023 Venza?
Bought the Venza Limited four days ago and love it! Been reading through the owners’ manual to find out how to do stuff, and that has fried my brain. So I came to UA-cam to get some better instructions/tutorials. Yours is absolutely the best yet! Thank you for the detailed demo explaining the car’s features and tips on customization and use.❤
I have '22 Venza LE base model ! It was the top of my budget ! I love this this car ! Wish I could have afforded the XLE or Limited , but my LE has nothing to be ashamed of !
@@SALSAKID49 First off, I get 45-48 mpg every tank . I have a light foot when it comes to acceleration. But always run the speed limit or a little over. We had a 2016 Camry before this and the Venza is much quieter. The Hybrid system works flawlessly and , to me, very comfortable to drive. The downsides , according to me are getting into the car on the passenger front seat. I'm only 5'8" and it is little tough to get in for me on the passenger side. I believe the seat is little too high for easy entry. But I am older , so others may not have an issue. Also I dont like the look of the turn signals so low in bumper on the back. But I cant see them while driving 😊 and because of the sloping back it cuts into cargo room behind the rear seat. I have had my Venza just over 14 months now and it has 16,000 miles. I still love the car and am glad I have it. Money well spent in my book. I hope this helps you.
Fun fact: 1:13 Lady bugs 🐞don’t utilize their outer-most wings to fly. Those hard shell wings open up to reveal another set of lighter wings that actually give them the ability to fly.
We'd originally ordered a '22 Limited April last year, finally received a '23 just last week. Absolutely loving it, kind of happy for no inventory and production delays now. 😂
Jeff. I noticed you have driven both cars at 70 mph so I hope you can answer my question. As far as highway road noise, wind noise, tire noise is concern. How much quieter is the 2023 Toyota Crown compared to this 2023 Venza?
We just got notified by our Toyota dealer that our 2023 Venza is on its way from Japan and we should have it by the end of March to the beginning of April. We’ve been waiting since August. Your video was very informative and can’t wait to start driving it.
Jeff, I love your videos! I have a Venza Limited on order. It's on its way from Japan. I'm so excited!! Your video makes me even more excited to get it and try all the new things!
Bought our 21’ limited with the optional fancy pano glass. My wife has put 31k miles between her work commute and family vacation miles. She averages 47mph. Cabin is well executed and very comfortable. A lot of soft touch leather. Not having “hard buttons” has not been an issue. Everything is very responsive and user friendly. Only complaint which is the pano glass. A burnt black mark appeared with a frosted circular outer layer. Long story short, this is an electrical short within the glass which enables the frost and regular toggling. It’s an 8k repair which we were able to get done under warranty. Extended warranty will not warrant this so read the fine print. We paid 51k OTD with the extended platinum warranty. Southern California. 1k markup
Yeap we were decide either the Venza Limited or Lexus NX350H. We decide to order the Lexus instead for a few $K more. Both are great, but my wife thinks the Lexus is a little quieter.
Jeff, I LOVE your videos and I can't wait to get this SUV! I could only test drive a 2021 Venza at my local dealership because there were no new models on the lot. The dealership claims that if I put down a deposit they will start searching for a 2023 Venza for me and I should have it in about 2 months. I have test driven several SUVs from competing manufacturers, but nothing has been as comfortable or has driven as well as the Venza. I think I'm ready to put down that deposit!
excellent car review, the best part is he talks like a 12year old black young man who grew up on Broadway plays, 90s boy band videos, and John Waters movies.
Thanks for this! Just ordered this car and it is good to see it as they don't have any at the dealer! I love it! Can't wait! I am excited to hear he stereo! Lady bugs are good luck! Good things are coming your way!
I almost got one a year ago, but went with the Rav4 XSE because it was cheaper, I still like the Rav4 but I wish I would have held out for the Venza. :)
Hey Jeff, thanks for the review. If you were in my shoes and had a deposit on a 23 Venza XLE with the JBL upgrade, would you be ok with the analog speedometer or would you wait a lot longer to get one with the digital cluster?
I pretty much gave up on getting a Venza, we’ve had a deposit down on a limited for three months, wind chill pearl, gray or titanium. glow. We drove a Rx 350, nx 350 and a RDX. We analyzed all of the suvs and the Venza still came out on top. Did one final check online Sunday night. Found a limited titanium glow about an hour and a half away from us.and texted and they had it. Told them to hold it and we bought it Monday. Paid $51600.00 out the door.
Really nice! However, it's disappointing that manufacturers only put 'the good stuff' (rear heated/ventilated seats, sunshades, chargers, etc.) for the rear passengers in their larger vehicles. Why is that?! Glad they didn't add the shiny faux plastic wood..it so cheapens a vehicle. Love the pano 'frost' option. And yet, the NX and RX don't have it? Seriously?! How is the ride and cabin sound? Thanks for the dance moves! Go running man...GO!🕺
Hey Jeff, thanks for the review. In limited we have 2 memory positions for driver's seat. But. Do we have 2 memory positions for steering wheel? and. Do we have 2 memory settings for driving display?
Thank you for this video. We are hoping to get one, however the Toyota Dealers around us have NONE to test drive! Found a used one at an Infinity Dealer and we have an appointment to test drive it Monday. Like a few others I’ve read in the comments, we’re hoping it will be a great experience and look forward to ordering one very soon!
When will the XLE come with an passenger power adjust seat? Can't do the zero clearance on the passenger side. Also, any thoughts on a 2024 Venza Prime??
At 7:53 into video, you say "this is the best car I've ever owned" ! Wow, that has to be saying something from an oficianado like yourself. You are funny and informative, and thank you for your reviews. I plan on getting the 2023 Limited Venza, in Ruby Red with the Boulder/lighter interior featured in this video, ... looking forward to it!
Hi Jeff! I have '22 limited. I am glad to see updates on the media screen. Does the map go full screen? Will There be a software update for '22s? I miss utilizing the full 12.3" screen for maps. Thanks for your reviews and work!!
Move or duplicate the turn indicators higher. That will draw the attention of the idiots looking at their phone behind you. Add manual feel controls. Smaller bezels on the center screen. Either that, or make the screen take up more of it. Big black borders make this look incredibly dated already. Ability to change font sizes for things like the time display. There’s plenty of space available. Let me make that bigger so it’s easier to read with a half second glance while I’m driving.
Great video, Jeff. Wow you know the vehicle well & I appreciate that. Pro-tip from Hollywood - take that Rode mic and clip it so the bulky part is hidden inside the shirt. Otherwise great video.
Basically, it looks the same. How could you call it big changes? I'd like to see a whole new rear bumper design with the exhaust tips more integrated into the body, not sticking out. The rear looks very chunky. And the rear turning signals merge into the brake lights altogether. Lastly, make that damn moonroof open would ya!?
You sir, have convinced me to not get a Rav4. Time to wait about 2 years for a used 2023 Venza Limited to become available, if used car values drop. or a new one now. I haven't made up my mind. For the "Hey Toyota", does it use Google databases and stuff for the map?
Can you still do wired car play? It’s no contest between audio quality. Hope the digital rear view is eventually a standard feature. Love it on my Rav XSE Tech, disappointingly not on my Sienna XSE lol
Thank you for this video, but it would be helpful to do a 25 min, video just on the features of the steering wheel controls and the multimedia system and not go so fast.
It is interesting to me how some Toyotas are so popular and some are kind of sleepers. Avalon and Venza, you hardly see them or people talking about them, while Camry, Corolla, Rav4 are so popular. I didn't even consider Venza when I was looking at my Rav4, just because it wasn't on my radar.
Jeff, I am looking at the Venza and the Crown. I was a huge fan of the Honda Crosstour and am drawn to the Venza and Crown because of the similarity. Are you familiar with the Crosstour and can you comment on similarities?
We have one. the vehicle is very good. The multimedia center is horrible. Everything is multiple screens and several button pushes and the buttons are little icons spread all over each screen. Imaging all the button pushes that Jeff showed off while driving at night in the rain at 79 mph on the freeway. You will likely die. Nothing is intuitive. Everything is buried in menus. The car is quiet enough, the interior is very plush, the ride is not plush. It is rather firm and over speed bumps it is jarring. Handling is excellent. Adaptive cruise control works excellent but you will die trying to set it on the freeway. Button pushes are dog slow. Hold each one for more that a second or it will not register. The owner's manual is an inch thick and 85% of it is about cell phones that you cannot use while driving and all the features shown are locked unless you pay a monthly fee. Hybrid system is totally unobtrusive except for the low speed pedestrian noise emitted. It sounds like a bad wheel bearing. really does get 40mpg. In summary, excellent vehicle with a horrible interface that must have been designed by someone paid by the number of conflicting screens and button pushes who has never driven a car on a crowded freeway at night.
I like my rav4 but this front looks great too, like a Lexus front but maybe not as aggressive. Problem is Toyota make fewer of these so their apr for financing is much higher than the rav4.
I’m not finance expert but on the surface that makes no sense to Med the APR is based on the year of the vehicle and your credit rating and the bank’s rates based on those things. A car’s availability should not factor in at all in my opinion and should certainly not vary based on the model. I highly suggest calling your local Bank and credit union to see what they say before signing anything at the dealer.
I am waiting to take possession of my venza limited in a few days and got Toyota financing at 5.44% with a credit score in the mid 700s. They beat my credit union, which at the lowest had an interest rate of 6.24%.
toyota financing for rav4 was 3.99 compared to 5.5-6% of the venza at then end of last year. Lcoal banks are higher this year than Toyota Financing. Rav4 and corolla usually get the lowest APR each month. currently in my area rav4 is 4.99 and venza is 7% That is around $2k extra. If you buy cash or have a bigger down payment then not an issues as much.
@@xophaser I just asked my credit union CEO and he said they only use credit rating score and year of vehicle. I’ll still compare various lenders and take the best rates as long as they don’t sell the loan. I hate chasing my loan around the country. I had that one time. They kept selling my loan almost every year and my payment info had to be updated.
What changes did you like best for 2023 Venza? How do you like the Limited and Venza in general? Thanks for commenting! Jeff
So the battery is under the back seat now and not under the front passenger seat? I bought a 2021 Highlander Hybrid so I haven't been watching you as often. I've forgotten how fun your reviews are!
Are you considering trading in your 21 for a 23? And how much of a hit will it be?
@@darcicole5530 I bought a Mazda CX 50 back in the beginning of December! Loving it so far!

@@toronado455 yes they are. They gave up one pair of wings for extra armor.

How is it now? And how is the sound insulation in this car is it good
Just landed on some of your reviews, love your silliness and appreciate you touching on all points people care about. TY 👍

I'd also like to know!
I love the new 2023 Venza Jeff. Multi-media with 12" display and heads up display. Wow, what a cool car. Thanks for the review
This just taught me more about the multi info display on my Highlander than the owners manual or any other video I’ve found. Thank you!!
We just got notified by our Toyota dealer that our 2023 Venza is on its way from Japan and we should have it by the end of March to the beginning of April. We’ve been waiting since August. Your video was very informative and can’t wait to start driving it.
You've been waiting since August 2022? What state?
@@midlifemom5829 Pennsylvania. We finally got delivery in April.
I wish some of these Limited features were in the 2023 XLE version! No complaints though, I love my Venza!

excellent car review, the best part is he talks like a 12year old black young man who grew up on Broadway plays, 90s boy band videos, and John Waters movies.
Ok so this is really funny! You win for comment of the day
the closest toyota to an lexus RX 350 is the Venza. Too bad supply chain is still rough in the entire industry.
Yeah you can't even get on a waiting list for one.
So true!
Exactly
I’m comparing w a certified low mileage RX350.
Thanks for this! Just ordered this car and it is good to see it as they don't have any at the dealer! I love it! Can't wait! I am excited to hear he stereo! Lady bugs are good luck! Good things are coming your way!
Are all venzas built in a Toyota japan factory and sent over here. I really love these
Very informative and energetic video. I enjoyed very much. Wasn’t a Venza’s fan, but I felt like getting one after viewing your video 👍
Differences between XLE Nightshade and Limited Editions???
I almost got one a year ago, but went with the Rav4 XSE because it was cheaper, I still like the Rav4 but I wish I would have held out for the Venza. :)
I got the XSE because it is bigger and has a real pano sunroof that opens. I found my pano is noise so its closed off with the shade most of the time.
16:18 16:19
Nice. I've always hate those back wiper blade and wish gets tuck under the spoiler so you don't see it.
Jeff, look forward to your tutorial on the MID screen. I have a 2023 Venza Limited (had a 21) and need more help with the 2023 MID.
Does the sunroof actually open?
Love the Venza 2023. I'm just a little disappointed that Toyota removed the Aux plug-in but liked that they add volume buttons.
Jeff, Do you have to keep dancing until the tailgate fully closes? What happens if you stop dancing half way?
Just bought a 2021 LE hybrid. I really like it so far.
i love the way you present the cars
Stuck on figuring out the Tire pressure sensor section. Do you have a video? Just got my Venza July 1.
Idk why or made me laugh so hard when he said “Hollla” 😂
Unfortunately the one thing keeping me from buying this is lack of a moon roof. 😢
I'd buy one tomorrow except for the rear tail lights and blinkers . Too small and too low .
I hate when the turn signals are that low... Seems unsafe. Can't believe the US regulations allow it.
Hey Jeff, thanks for the review. If you were in my shoes and had a deposit on a 23 Venza XLE with the JBL upgrade, would you be ok with the analog speedometer or would you wait a lot longer to get one with the digital cluster?
The rear turn signal lights being so low can be a safety issue. Otherwise, I’m impressed.

Curious - what made you decide the Venza was the best out of the other cars you mentioned? Was it just how much you can actually get for the money?
Wow who in their right mind would pay 51k for this! 😂
Not sure about paying $52k on Toyota over a Lexus. How much is a Lexus RX 350h base model?
Great video and I love The Waterboy quotes!
Oh glad you liked it!!! Love that movie
Why not update to the new Safety Sense 3.0 and also have a regular sunroof that can open up?

Add manual feel controls.

Check out Team Toyota in Glen Mills PA.
Does Venza hybrid have the same problem as the Rav4 for cable rust?
👀 oh
No. It’s been repaired. Cable is covered now.
@@MrKeyman04For both or just Venza?
I know u mostly from Instagram. Looked up Venza to see the interior, found u here. Subbed. Laughed wh n u said WNBC - HS fan? 📻
Does the 360 camera come on the xle too?
Hi Jeff...!!! If you had to pick between this Venza (top trim) and a Tiguan (top trim), which one would you choose?
u cant beat toyota hybrid technology!!!!
Does it have the wireless android auto/car play for sure? I mean wireless?
Yes
Basically, it looks the same. How could you call it big changes? I'd like to see a whole new rear bumper design with the exhaust tips more integrated into the body, not sticking out. The rear looks very chunky. And the rear turning signals merge into the brake lights altogether. Lastly, make that damn moonroof open would ya!?
is this infotainment available for sale?
( to upgrade mine )
Is a limited without pano roof still available
Could you do a video on just the infotainment screens on the 2023 venza limited?
It sucks
Thanks Jeff. Great informational and fun video.
I would love a Venza (pretty much my dream car) but I find it hard justifying the price to the wife. Any tips or points I can make?
Money you save in gas, reliable, lack of repairs hopefully.
Jeff does the best reviews always.
Thank you Sr.
Major difference Between models?
Is there an app to connect remotely from a cell phone? What can I do remotely?
Nice review . Any plans for a venza prime?
You sir, have convinced me to not get a Rav4.
Time to wait about 2 years for a used 2023 Venza Limited to become available, if used car values drop. or a new one now. I haven't made up my mind.
For the "Hey Toyota", does it use Google databases and stuff for the map?
Love it very comfortable quiet good on gas ⛽ i have a 2022 model limited thanks for sharing your video take care bye from milton Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
I wish you can show how the new navigation system works in turn by turn 😢
Will try to do that if I can get someone’s profile linked to the system
do you have a new video about more information about the infotainment system of venza? Thanks for the video
This is really nice. I did not know that the Venza is Lexus quality and is also manufactured in Japan
Because it’s not
Can you still do wired car play? It’s no contest between audio quality. Hope the digital rear view is eventually a standard feature. Love it on my Rav XSE Tech, disappointingly not on my Sienna XSE lol

@@Toyotajeff Thank you I wound appreciate and as soon as you can.
Hi Jeff. Thought I heard "somewhere" that Toyota was planning to discontinue the Venza? Do you have any information on such? Thanks, Don from Oregon
2024 Venza is the last. They will be replacing the Venza with the Toyota Crown Signia.
It is interesting to me how some Toyotas are so popular and some are kind of sleepers. Avalon and Venza, you hardly see them or people talking about them, while Camry, Corolla, Rav4 are so popular. I didn't even consider Venza when I was looking at my Rav4, just because it wasn't on my radar.
I agree. It's nice but nobody even speaks or knows about it.
What's the fundamental difference between this and a Rav4?
RAV4 is cheaply built and this is pseudo Lexus. Rest are same. Same powertrain
Jeff, I am looking at the Venza and the Crown. I was a huge fan of the Honda Crosstour and am drawn to the Venza and Crown because of the similarity. Are you familiar with the Crosstour and can you comment on similarities?
Venza or Lexus RX350h? That is the question...Also the "running man" dance is very cool!
Save 15k and get the Venza
Venza, since it's basically smaller RX350h with less fancy stuff. *but bigger then NX
Go GREEN! You’re the best Toyota man!
Go WHITE!
Holla!😂
A little to much space between the wheel arches other then that its sweet.
Wonder if they would look better if you go up one wheel size….🤔
We just bought a 2023 dark blue Venda. ❤❤❤❤
What trim? And what did you pay?
Nice review! Thank you!
Hey Jeff, can you do a video on the 2023 Toyota RAV4 Trd off-road please?
Yes for sure when I get one I will :)
No venza in slovenia .. any similar look cars around ?
Love your generation X humor 🎉 😂.
Is it a fixed pano roof or it opens?
Nevermind, I seen where this question was answered
Other market its toyota harrier 4wd 2024
Why the hell do they put the turn signals so low? Unsafe.
Does this vehicle have heated steering wheel?
Yes... at 8:34 in the video you can see the heated steering wheel button to the left of the steering wheel column. Cheers
want one! ready to buy! great review, thanks!
Envy that new digital dash, other than that, no complaints.
It would be great if Toyota makes a PHEV Venza!
I really want panoramic sunroof where it can open and close in that car also it need little bit bigger size as 2015 Toyota Venza Limited
Is it true the HUD and cluster shows Apple maps turn by turn info?
Yes, they do!
Is the spare tire full size?
No.. but It’s not the small donut, either

Good to know thank you. I was wondering about ride quality. I’m going with Outback XT touring. My Outback limited rides great.
I wish they would have moved up. The rear turn signal. It's too low.
I agree. But even the brake lights are too small and like little points of light inside that large red plastic part.
Jeff! Great job and I mean it!! But any luck you could find me one! I badly need a Venza Limited 23 but no dates around here. Help me!!
Is it possible for 21 Venza owners to update their software?
No, different internals.
I like my rav4 but this front looks great too, like a Lexus front but maybe not as aggressive. Problem is Toyota make fewer of these so their apr for financing is much higher than the rav4.
I’m not finance expert but on the surface that makes no sense to Med the APR is based on the year of the vehicle and your credit rating and the bank’s rates based on those things. A car’s availability should not factor in at all in my opinion and should certainly not vary based on the model. I highly suggest calling your local Bank and credit union to see what they say before signing anything at the dealer.
I am waiting to take possession of my venza limited in a few days and got Toyota financing at 5.44% with a credit score in the mid 700s. They beat my credit union, which at the lowest had an interest rate of 6.24%.
toyota financing for rav4 was 3.99 compared to 5.5-6% of the venza at then end of last year. Lcoal banks are higher this year than Toyota Financing. Rav4 and corolla usually get the lowest APR each month. currently in my area rav4 is 4.99 and venza is 7% That is around $2k extra. If you buy cash or have a bigger down payment then not an issues as much.
@@xophaser I just asked my credit union CEO and he said they only use credit rating score and year of vehicle. I’ll still compare various lenders and take the best rates as long as they don’t sell the loan. I hate chasing my loan around the country. I had that one time. They kept selling my loan almost every year and my payment info had to be updated.
Great review and great mileage!
Why does my limited not have a sunroof...
