The 2022 Toyota Venza's aggressive new styling borrows cues from Lexus and other luxury brands. Its interior design is upmarket too. On the downside, the Venza doesn't offer as much passenger and cargo space as its rivals, and it's not rated for towing. But if you value comfort, technology and great fuel efficiency, the Venza is an excellent pick.

5 out of 5 starsHybrid Driver , 06/14/2022
2022 Toyota Venza LE 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
10,000 Mile Update:
After 7 months/10,000 miles, still happy with the purchase. The MPG has ranged between 41-45 mpg in suburban driving and 35-39 mpg on the Interstate measured at the pump. After living with the Venza for 7 months, IMO, it is best suited for singles, couples without children, or families of four or less without small children. Cargo is fine for our purposes but if we … had small children with strollers and other bulky items I would go with the Sienna for increased cargo capacity.
It's efficient in city/suburban driving with a good view of the road.
The Venza excels on road trips. It’s quite, the ride is composed, the driver's seat is comfortable, there is plenty power, excellent mpg, it has radar cruise control with lane keeping assist, and it's heavy and aerodynamic enough not to get pushed around in the wind. The result is you do not become as fatigued on long drives. The ultimate road trip vehicle!
Cons: Cargo - fine for groceries, ect, but not enough for bulky items without the rear seats down. Also, very large people over 6 2' may find head room limited. Anyone 6 2' and under should be fine.
Original Review:
After giving my 2016 Prius to a family member, I needed a new ride. The Prius was an excellent car but I wanted a change. The Venza has many attributes that make the Prius great; made in Japan reliability, efficient hybrid power train (44 mpg in suburban FL driving/37 on the interstate), and unique Japanese styling. The Venza a/k/a Harrier, like the Prius, is a Japanese market car. The Japanese styling aesthetic appeals to my taste so couldn’t be happier with the look of the car. The Venza is quick ( 0 to 60 in 7.6 seconds), quiet and a great highway cruiser. It’s relatively roomy but easy to handle. The LE trim has buttons and knobs so it avoids the complaint of no knobs on the higher trims. The LE’s 18 inch wheels also make for better ride. Very happy with the purchase. It’s like an updated early 2000s Lexus RX. The Venza is perfect for someone looking for practical, reliable, AWD transportation with some luxury elements.
Vamos Venza!

2022 Toyota Venza LE 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
Okay, I couldn't resist the Spanish language title because of my Spanish lessons. But it does accurately capture how I feel about driving this car. Let's go! There is a lot to love about this vehicle so here goes:
1. The ride: This car drives like a luxury vehicle. The interior cabin is quiet and very comfortable. I've had numerous back injuries over the past twenty years, and I can say … w/o hesitation that this car is the MOST COMFORTABLE car I have ever driven. In my life! You can adjust the driver seat to the position that suits you best. You'll come to find driving this car is a breeze. Easy around town or the highway.
The Tech: Toyota has been notorious as a laggard where car tech is concerned but I have to give them high marks for catching up to their competitors. The one area where they dropped the ball was wireless connectivity for Apple Carplay. You have to plug the phone into a USB port which is strange given the car has WiFI hotspot capability. Nonetheless, the technology works seamlessly once you're plugged in and it's easy to use the 8-inch screen. The Venza comes Alexa enabled and you can easily train the car to recognize your voice if you prefer to give commands in that manner. Otherwise, the button controls are fairly similar to Toyota vehicles from past years.
Gas mileage: Given that we are in the midst of gas price hikes beyond what anyone could imagine, you'll be happy to know that so far, I'm getting about 50-60 miles per gallon. Yup, you read that right. Highway and city driving. Of course, I practice good driving habits and do not have a heavy foot so that makes a difference. Still, it was gratifying to know I only had to spend $19 to fill half a tank.
The expert reviews on trunk capacity and back seat space are pretty accurate. This is not what I would characterize as a family SUV. Trunk space is limited so if you have kids, this isn't a great choice especially if you do family getaways.
One last thing. Whether you buy this car or another Toyota, ignore the App Store reviews of the Toyota App. The app works as intended and has a lot of nice features (locking and unlocking as well as remote start). The people who left one-star reviews clearly do not know how to use a smartphone.
Very comfortable drive

2022 Toyota Venza Limited 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
I have this car for about 2 months now and have driven more than 2000 miles, including a 800 mile road trip. Very comfortable car for long trips, and did not feel any fatigue even after 6 hour road trip. I have read reviews about road noise. I have not experienced it, and the noise I hear did not bother me at all. Have been getting between 40-50 mpg which is during summer. The adaptive … cruise control and LTA make long drives very easy.
Exactly what it is supposed to be

2022 Toyota Venza XLE 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
Short term owner here. This car is everything it is billed to be. Comfortable, safe and (hopefully) reliable transportation. This car is packed with great tec and safety equipment. Interior is well though out with high quality materials used throughout.
The car seamlessly transitions between the electric motor and gas engine. You hardly notice it which is excellent. The ride … is smooth with decent sound deadening throughout. The stock tires are not great (Ecopias) and I have to thing a set of Michelins will enhance the ride even further.
Is the car "fun" to drive? Not really. Does it drive incredibly well? Yes.
Negatives are a terrible base stereo in the XLE, non power passenger seat (I feel like it is too high) and agressive seat bolstering may be too much for larger framed people. The seats are very comfortable however.
The gas mileage is as promised and the car can run on electric only in stop and go or slow city driving.
This car is a sleeper and unfortunately hard to buy right now due to limited supply.
