So far so good

Overall a great vehicle. I recommend sitting in the front passenger seat before buying. If you are 5'8" or more you will hit your head getting in and out as seat is high and can not be adjusted on the XLE model.

Good car but not a great car

5 months and about 4,500 miles on the car so far. Decent gas mileage from 35 to 41 mpg. The 41 numbers came when it was new and summertime. Haven't gotten over 38 in the winter. Comfortable inside. I would like to have more knobs and buttons and less touch screen. Software is occasionally glitchy on the touchscreen. I wish the car would go more than 3 or 4 blocks in electric mode. I would prefer a hybrid that goes 20 miles or so on electric power but the Venza is okay. If you go more than about 15 mph, the EV mode turns off. Plenty of headroom inside but I have to duck down a lot to get into the driver's seat and I am a short person. So far the mpg are the same no matter if I drive 55 or 70. That's unusual in my experience.

Great vehicle but worthless costly junk added

Excellent vehicle overall except for manufacturer and/or dealer loading on worthless items ( non negotiable ) ie: small dent removal $639.00 and interior upholstery stain repair or tear repair ( of course with exceptions) also$639.00. When dealer confronted , Their attitude " take it or don't buy the car, we'll sell it to next buyer in line"

Awesome SUV

Love my Venza. Very classy design, better looking than Lexus NX, exception gas mileage much above stated mpg. I easily get 45-50 mpg city in Eco mode. Very quiet. Panoramic stargaze moon roof is amazing. Interior quality is top notch. Boulder seat color is very pleasant and makes the interior bright and cool. Nothing to complain about so far

Great vehicle

The hybrid engine saves so much gas! And does not have the distance limitation of an electric vehicle. The car is very stylish and looks similar to the higher priced Lexus SUV. The car is very comfortable and handles well on the road.

go for the gusto

Steve from Sierra Vista Toyota showed me the Venza I ordered the Limited edition with extras. I love the smooth ride, great Mileage, Handles extremely well. I am trying to decide if I love the Venza or Rav 4 Hybrid better. I have both.

Luxtury Car, takes bumps very well with low noise

Limited edition gives a more comfortable ride than Lexus NX because the NX has no spare tire but ride flat 20 inch tires while this car has 19 inch standard tires with spare tire. The star gaze roof is very nice. I keep it in clear on cloudy days and opaque on sunny days. Fantastic sound system with 1200W. The drivers seat automatically moves back when you shutoff the car and moves forward when you start for ease of entry. Uses regular gas whilke the lexus requires premium.

Great Vehicle

I waited 6 months for my Limited Venza to show up. Seeing it was at the end of the year I received a 2023. I love everything about it. I've been getting about 43 mpg both city and highway. The lack of knobs isn't a problem seeing I normally only adjust the temperature a few degrees hot or cold. The JBL stereo is excellent. The ride of the vehicle is really smooth. You can barely tell when the motor switches On or Off. The seats are probably the best I've ever sat in. I haven't had a problem with the amount of storage space. Obliviously you’re not going to be able to get a couch in the back, but plenty of room for stuff. I also have a 2022 Toyota Highlander Hybrid, both are great vehicles, the Highlander has a smoother ride and more room and gets 38 mpg. Toyota makes a sound vehicle, love them both.
