I like everything from the heads up speed limit to the heated steering wheel and seats. The moon roof is nice and big too. The limited has luxury and great gas mileage.

2023 Limited is an absolutely great vehicle for us. We have a Sienna for loads of kids and stuff but this SUV meets 95% of our needs perfectly and is incredibly efficient at 40 mpg. It has Lexus level luxury and build quality. It is quiet and I find the power train to be quick with seamless hybrid transitions. All of the electronic safety and convenience features are a great upgrade from the 2015 Impala that we loved for 200k miles. Ride quality is great, no problem for this 6 footer to find a comfortable driving position. Cargo space is perfectly fine for travel, trips to the grocery store, and all of the kids sporting equipment. Quirky placement of the start button has me routinely resetting the trip odometer but other than that, no complaints. Looking forward to seeing how the AWD performs in the snow.

I appreciate the smooth ride, but have serious concerns about the real-world mileage and the initial quality. First saw the dealer after detecting two sources of rattle in the cabin. Not a problem. Then a piece of paint came off on the edge of the hood lid. Not a huge problem either, but still irritating. Then the rear-view camera began disconnecting. That's a real problem, especially when backing up in a dark alley but they are still struggling with it at the dealership. Finally, the mileage. I have been making 32 mpg give or take, and I'm not exactly a NASCAR driver. And the deteriorating eyesight isn't making it any brighter. That's better than most of the comparable gasoline powered vehicles, but it's nowhere near the 40 mpg advertised. Kind of disappointed at this juncture.

After 24K miles, here's what I don't like.

My first Venza was a 2011. Loved it! My second Venza was a 2015. Also loved it. In fact, it saved my life and limbs during a total crash in 2016. My 3rd one is the 2022 XLE AWD hybrid which I purchased in December 2022. I have had it for 1 full year. It's ok, but just ok. I love the safety features, and the MPG is decent. I love the slightly cushioned touch points on the doors. Most of all, I absolutely loved my salesperson. Here's what changed about the vehicle and why I do not love it: poor head room is my #1 gripe. I frequently hit my head on the driver's side handle above the door. If I have my sunglasses and eyeglasses on the visor I often hit my head on it as well. My husband likes the car but does not desire to drive it because of this one problem. Plus I have to cock my head to the side a lot just to get in the vehicle, or else I will hit my head against the door frame. Been there done that way too many times. The height of the driver side window is so low that I can't comfortably do transactions at an ATM from the car, and I'm only 5'4". Yes, I can telescope my seat up and down, but why do I need to do that when I haven't needed to do it any other model, or any other vehicle for that matter? This Venza does not offer that extended leg room like normal vehicles. My husband finds this a bit uncomfortable because the seats do not glide back far enough as with most other vehicles, and he's only 5"11. Weird, right? Also, I can't see far down the road at night with those regular headlights as I did with the previous Venzas. Are they slightly angled downward? Again, weird. I ALWAYS have to use high beams just to see an appropriate distance down the road, which should be a normal headlight functionality. So odd. Things do not fit under the seat as easily anymore. That space has narrowed quite as bit. Also the space between the seat and console is extremely narrow. If I drop something between the seats, it's difficult or next to impossible to access or clean that area. The seating is comfortable but crampy to the point where it's sometimes difficult to get my hand between the seat and the door to access the seat controls on driver side. If I have a winter coat on, forget it. My arm doesn't fit at all, and I am not obese. I must open the door just to get access to seat controls. Is it me, or have CUVs/SUVs gotten smaller? It's a great ride but for me, Toyota lost points on these changes. There are several more points, but I leave this last one. I have the clear plastic coating on the front of the car and side mirrors. Cleaning the hood has made it easier. However, in less than a year, that clear plastic coating has warped on the side mirrors and needs to be smoothed out again. It's been just short of a hellish experience trying to get Toyota to figure out if that's covered under warranty. I swore I would be a Toyota fan for life, but I am falling out of love with the Venza, and I'm about to trade it. I love Toyota, and always will; however, this new and not so improved Venza makes me sad.
