2014 Toyota Venza 0-60 MPH Review: Drive vs Sport Mode 

I'm 6'3 n absolutely luv my venza, comfort n lots of room...reliabity is superb no issues...

The Venza is waaay better looking than the Camry and the Rav4.

I love the Venza. Its the most stylish and best looking in its class. I love the seat design, the new headlights, the interior is nice and those wheels are pretty nice. The 3.5 engine is really strong !

I'm getting tired of car reviewers' "well, its a toyota" snob attitude when they review Toyota cars, come on, Toyota is awesome.

Damn, my friend's 2010 Venza V6 AWD does 0-60 in about 6.5 sec at sea level. I guess altitude really affects acceleration. And the fact that it's winter, winter tires, etc.

I bought my Venza for a number of reasons . . . and one of the main reasons was that it is taller than a car but still shorter than a 'tru SUV'. I have a bad back, left hip and left leg and I needed something taller for entry and exit . . . and too many SUV's require me to climb up a bit and that doesn't work either. The Venza is very close to the perfect median height that I need. It also manages feeling like a car better than any other Crossover/SUV I test drove (RAV4, CR-V, Kia Sorento). Reliability, seat comfort and the AWD drive system also had a part in my decision. Not a huge fan of the Toyota's steering and the fit and finish isn't perfect, but my big girl has been a perfect vehicle for me thus far.

I have a 2014 model with awd and honestly it is not gonna win any drag races but it will go off-road where most sedans only dream to go.

My wife had a 2009 Venza. Nice car. Very comfortable. Lots of space. Better ride and better seats than the Camry she now drives. The Venza has easier ingress than the Highlander, isn't as long, has better visability, but does need an update in the interior (with better fitting panels). That said, I'd buy another one.

these guys don't know what they're talking about. Venza is awesome and it's not a Camry wagon. Remember what Camry wagons actually look like previously? yeah. a Camry with longer back. Venza is not a wagon. I love it and getting so many compliments too....

Even though it's built from a Camry I see last generation Avalon features. I think that's why I love it.

Agreed, Nathan. The Venza is Toyota's idea of a stylish, high-riding Camry wagon. I've always dug it's design and those sick 20" wheels.

The venza is to the camry like the honda crosstour is to the accord

love my venza

What I like and enjoy so much about you guys (Roman + Nathan) is your sense of humour. Thanks

I like how he said that the interior was not cheap but not expensive.

Are you guys going to a review on the 2014 Venza?

Is the S mode beside the D mode actually the Sport mode option or Sequential shifter?

The fastest 0-60 time i've got in this car is 6.4 seconds at sea level.

I've always been a fan of the Camry but fell in love with the Venza. AWD?... aww yeah. Curious if a Supercharger could be installed?

I'm always following you. I watch the videos about 30 minots after you show them. Thank you very much!!!!!

Guys once you get used to Toyota Reliability!! .. trust me you will be spoiled .. I just have Jeep with 81 thousand miles on it .. the car is already burning oil stall on me .. I have 150 thousands miles on my Camry. no complains what so ever . please give the credit this car deserve . what good with the excitement. if its going to break your bank ?!!! every time I shop for a car and I look away from Toyota . I turn back to it due to reliability issues with other brands !!

Is it just me but compared to other 0-60 venza videos, mid 8+ seconds is pretty slow which is a comparable time for the 2.7L version. Did they get the 2.7L version?

Which one do you recommend? The Toyota Venza V6 or 4 cylinders?

"268 hp not 216"

S isn't for sport or even sequential either actually, it's for 'selective' shift or whatever. It doesn't limit anything it just gives you the option to change gears manually without a clutch. I have a 2011 camry n it's the same thing, honestly kinda pointless imo

still one of Toyota's nicest vehicles and powertrains. You can find a low mileage one for a great price still today.

"S"means Steptronic, and is pretty much just for towing or driving steep roads.

Roman you said Previa instead of Sienna!

Why 0 to 60 in a Venza. It's like you're setting it up to fail. Why not how comfortable can two big guys go from LA to Miami?

Who the fuck buys a wagon for the 0 to 60 factor!?

I have a 2015 2wd Limited. Love the car. Rides a bit firm on the 20" wheels, but steers really quick and tight. Powerful. Will break the front wheels loos when I deck it even when rolling along. This "test" by the 2 Bubbas is pretty lame. There is SOOO much more to this car can 0-60.

I just realized that Nathan didn't shift gear he put in S-Mode. My Venza only has a sequential shift mode. I guess they changed something in 2014...

How do you put it in sport mode?

kirbyswarp In reference to the 3 lexus models ***** mention. The RX 450h uses the same engine as the highlander hybrid. The 350 uses the same 3.5L V6 in other models from toyota as well, venza, highlander, camry. The GX is based on the Toyota Prado sold in other markets but roughly a 4runner chassis. I also think the RX shares the same platform as the highlander. Most luxury name plates are just re badge / spiced up interiors of there cheaper counterparts. Like the new ES doesn't use the Camry platform anymore but takes the Avalon one instead.

I can't believe Toyota axed V6 in the Rav4 in fav of this piece...

That's a sequential shift mode. Not sports mode. Also it looks like you just clicked it in S mode which will automatically put you in 4th, and then you just floored it....you didn't even put it into 1 and then shift....

I guess 8.5sec in sport mode doesn't seem fast to anyone. But it was better than what I had imagined.

I love you guys but why the hate? No one asked Nissan "Why the Murano". And damn....if that's a Camry wagon, than so is the Highlander and Lexus RX. Stop the Toyota hate!

you're an 11!!! ALL the time man! It makes for good car reviews guys

you didn't drive it in sport mode, you changed over to sport but did not shift with the manual shifter, because you would have gotten about 6.8 secs.....noobs

Question: is also for the Ladies easy to drive?

41K, WOW! Dated interior. Average gas mileage. Body panels look tacked on. No exterior styling. The over-sized wheels don't help. Should have been a hybrid only.

This car is just a camry hatchback

yes please make a review about dodge journey

I think they look cool. Good vid thx.

Can you do a video about Dodge Journey? I realy want to!!!!!

"Helped that my bladder was empty" Lol

Also, the real competitor to the Subaru Outback 3.6R.

1:34 you can like everything about the car except for those big wheels, driving this car in a city is very uncomfortable and jerky due to its wheel, #1 reason why this car was canceled from the north American market. however.. driving this car in a highway with V6 and AWD is like a motor boat 🛥

Would you guys treat your own cars how you guys treat the test cars!

I want this car with manual transmission

8.73 is not bad at a mile above sea level

I have a 2013 AWD V6, these cars are nothing like a Camry. In my Venza I get seven seconds to high six seconds from 0 to 60

Where's the new highlander and 4runner?

Looked at the Venza about 18 months ago when I replaced a Saab wagon. Unfortunately, the awd was negated (for ski trips) by the extremely low ground clearance. Choice ultimately came down to a Subaru Outback versus a Kia Sorento. Went with the Sorento for a variety of reasons but each trumped the Venza.

What ever happened to people bringing their own car and doing 0-60 on your show?

Should i take my foot off the gas when shifting??

Sport mode?? He didnt even go up on shift??wtf that is no sport mode damm it

y no reveiw of civic si ??

It's an awd station wagon.

It has a sports mode?!!

Well crap. I bought the cheaper 2014 Venza that didn't have the sunroof, didn't have AWD, didn't have sport mode, and didn't have leather seats or all the fancy gadgets.

Is this a V6?

If it's a good price it's worth it

Missing snow donuts!

You said chào ( vietnamese) right ?

How does it drives in heavy snow

who actually gives a crap how fast from 0-60 in a car like this anyway ?

4WD version is obviously not going be as fast.

Ele disse tchau? He said TCHAU?

Gusty.

How many recalls on this Harbor Bomber??

I used to own a 2010 Venza V6 AWD ~ though it is good it is not great especially the cheapy interior, all the gaps, misaligned panels, and squeaks! The V6 is great and proven to be reliable...but not sporty. The 'sport mode' in modern cars is a joke and who uses it in every day driving anyway?

That's one expensive Camery station wagon... Not a bad 0-60 for what it is. The grille is very ugly...

Toyota claims 0-60 in 6.7 seconds. I am very disappointed in 8.5 seconds.

????? Didn't even shift; Hello???

The Venza stands out as a mediocre answer to an unasked question.

40 k? I'd rather buy a BMW x3.

Lolz hopefully Toyota won’t let your truck open at 40 mph but maybe.

It sounds like grandma s car

I did better then that in the 2011

40k for this? ehhhhh

Y'all don't nothing... bla bla bla..

Looks so outdated..

toyota what?@

Not really a Camry because it's only the grill but okay

If I could buy a AWD Camry with a stick, I wouldn't be looking at a Venza. Even a real Camry wagon would be cooler.

Ele disse tchau? He said TCHAU?
