'We have owned out 2022 xle now for seven mo. and so far, it has been all that I expected. I have 8000 miles on it and the MPG keeps getting better. I do drive in ECO mode all the time with no lack of power in my opinion. Navigation would have been nice at this price level but not worth the extra $2000. I installed a Garmon that does all that for me and take it out when we are not traveling. We just returned from a 2000-mile trip and MPG was 46 even at 75 to 80 MPH at times. The ride and handling was more than expected. As for disappointments no power for the passenger side seating and the OEM tires {in the winter} is an issue. I will defiantly have to replace them this winter season with all-weather tires. We live in Pa and snow does not cope well with the summer tires. That said in dry road conditions they are just fine, no problem there. I am hoping the battery will last as advertised. Verry Happy and would purchase it again. UPDATE: After a lot of thought and a long search I porched a 2022 Venza XLE. This is my first hybrid but my 5th Toyota. I am very pleased with the quality of the car as well as the MPG, ride , quietness, and handling of the car. The only change I am making is new tires. Winter is about to arrive, and the OEM Bridgestone tires are not ample for western Pa snow. In the summer the tires performed very well but no traction in snow season. The add on for connection to alerts of $8 per mo., after one year is very disappointing and should not be a charge on a $38,000 car. I am also not a fan of a 10,000-mile oil change. All that said the car is the nicest one I have ever owned and plan to keep it for the remainder of my life. Well done, Toyota. Don D

Pros: 1. Firm but smooth ride, and notable sound insulation improvement over the Rav. It baffles me to see complaints on the loud engine under acceleration. I think the hybrid engine is a buttery smooth. 2. Elegant exterior design. 3. Unexpected comfort and entry level luxury. 3. Japanese built quality. Cons: 1. Botton-less ventilation controls. Both RAV4 and Venza LE gets real buttons so why did you have to curse the Limited model with the button-less abomination. 2. Small cargo space. There could easily be more cargo volume but that would obviously cannibalize Rav4's sales. Summary, Venza is an all wheel drive Camry - comfortable and reliable. It should be on the short list for someone who wants a drama free, entry level luxury ride, with limited cargo capacity but not the maintenance drama.

I have a 2023 Toyota Venza XLE - it is magnificent. There are some blind spots to get use to - but electronics take care of that - plenty of luggage space for 2 - feels like you are in a cockpit of a fighter jet / beautiful interior & the 12.3 display is fantastic. Gas mileage on a long trip 45-50 mpg!

I bought the Venza 2 months ago and I’m loving it. Toyota reliability and price with Lexus luxury. Quiet, smooth, quick enough with a very comfortable driving experience. This does not have a sports car feel but is a very comfortable and spacious enough highway cruiser.

This car is hands down the most comfortable vehicle I have ever driven! A Lexus for a Toyota price. Great mileage, quiet, responsive, and loaded with tech. For an older driver the safety gear is incredibly helpful and makes for a feeling of security.

Heat system issue

I have had Toyota cars for years and never been more satisfied. What is the problem with the heat? When I am in neutral the heat blows cold air even set on high 85. I am dissatisfied with this feature. It is unsafe in New England to not be able to depend on heat. Just learned when car is stationary 10 minutes heat turns offGREAT CAR
Better than advertised

Averaging 40mpg which is a nice change from my previous 22mpg Murano. The Venza drives smooth and handles well without the normal hybrid brakes. After 1 year and 40k work miles still getting 40mpg, smooth and quiet ride. I didn't know the tire replacement was $300 per tire but everything else is great. 2.5 years 55k miles trading in for another Toyota Hybrid, but this time a Grand Highlander. The Venza was great still averaging 37.5 mpg but I need a bigger vehicle for carrying

Malfunctioning navigation/multi-media system fixed

Update: The multi-media/nav system was replaced and there have been no further issues and we also received our second key fob. Having driven for 10 months now, we’re very happy with the vehicle. A few observations: We feel that the multi-media system is not real user friendly and we’re still learning all facets of it, some which are confusing, and some which we still can’t figure out! A bit disappointed in the gas mileage, which started at 35 and is now up to 37 mph, hopefully it will continue to rise. We also expected that mirror settings would be included in the different driver settings at this price level. But overall, we’re happy with our purchase and are surprised the model is being discontinued. We wanted to replace our hybrid Avalon with an SUV and decided to remain with Toyota as we had no problems with our Avalon, or Toyota. Purchased the Venza in August. Two months later, all facets of the multi-media system stopped working. Nothing functions correctly. Screen goes black every few minutes, then restarts. Dealer tried a hard restart, didn’t work, then said they had to order something, which is on back order with Toyota. Still waiting with no idea when we will have what should be a fully functioning brand new vehicle. Reluctant to take road trips in this condition. Extremely disappointed and upset with Toyota, this is unacceptable for a brand new vehicle, especially as it was made in Japan. That said, it’s very comfortable and quiet, and if we had the second key FOB, and a fully functional multi-media system, we’d be very happy with the vehicle, and Toyota.

Like a lot about this car with two exceptions. Multimedia screen set up and operation is very cumbersome. The navigation system is free temporarily. Then it’s a monthly charge. Not cool
