No one is doing the GREAT work explaining the differences between models of Toyota cars, SUVs, and trucks Jeff. Keep up the good work!!

The amount of standard features that comes on the Venza LE trim just blows my mind, I’m really hoping all of Toyota’s base trims will have a lot more standard features.

This is the most fun I've ever had watching a car review. Subscribed for life!!

Another triumph for Jeff. Nobody does this type of comparison of trim levels. Better than the Whiteboard even. Very clear. What they all have standard, what's different. Doesn't miss a feature. Comprehensive.

Just bought a 2021 Venza Limited and this video is what really convinced me! Thanks Jeff!

ROOF OPTION NOTE: If you opt for the $1400 Star Gaze moonroof, the silver roof rails are deleted in the Limited trim (the only trim for which it is available). SIDE MIRROR NOTE: Limited Package includes electric side folding side mirrors with puddle lamps that illuminate and project the word “VENZA” onto the pavement below.

Hi ToyotaJeff. I’m currently shopping new hybrids. I have found my local hybrid car market is full of marketing misinformation, half-truths and/or misunderstandings. Your various videos on Toyota hybrids have been a huge help clearing up a lot of this misinformation. Thank you for educating American about all the Toyota hybrid options. I wish my local Toyota sales teams were as knowledgeable. You should be very proud of your work.

I just got a Limited Venza last Thursday. Bought it at Fred Anderson of Columbia. They had to bring one in for me with the Star gaze roof and the advanced technology package. I love it. The lack of knobs took a little to get use too, but it doesn't bother me.

not on the market for a venza since I just got my prius but I seriously love your channel and HAVE to watch every upload lol

Great video. Enjoyed it a lot! A little disappointed that the 12" entertainment center loses the buttons and the dials.

Just bought my Venza Limited today. I watched all your videos about the Venza and really loved it! Thanks you helping me make my decision!

you put so much effort into your videos. it really shows. thank you jeff! your dad jokes are great too! :) made me smile. what a wholesome man

This was seriously one of the best reviews I’ve come across! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this review! New subscriber!

This sold me on getting a Venza next year. I certainly hope there's a 2022 Venza Limited! Thank you for the great video!

Just got a limited model with advanced technology package. would 100% recommend. i was debating between rav4 and venza and test drove both. my mom has a camry hybrid and the venza drove more similar to that. the rav4 felt slower and more weighed down to me. i loved them both, but the venza felt more luxurious and fun to me. great video! was debating between xle and limited for a long time but ultimately decided the digital mirror, birds eye camera, HUD, and all the upgrades i wouldve gotten for the XLE was worth the extra thousand dollars.

The 2021 Venza is a rebadged Toyota Harrier, which from 1998-2013, was a rebadged Lexus RX. It’s good to see that this new Venza is loaded even on the base model.

The Venza Limited is a hidden gem. Very under the radar.

Great energy. I like this guy.

Love the review, but even better, I LOVE the background with the almost fall color leaves! Mahalo & Aloha!

this guy is becoming one of my all time favorite car reviewers on youtube. so goofy but so good. hope you do other car brand videos too

I live in Hawaii, and the sales man I met yesterday didn’t explain anything to me-he didn’t even do the test drive with me. Thank you so much for explaining!! I am waiting in line to get the LE now simply because it’s more economic and still with the nice standard features :)

I currently have a 2019 Avalon Limited which I love love love. Just moved to snow country and want AWD, so am looking at the Venza. Your review of the trim levels and safety features has convinced me that I should get the Venza Limited. Woo Hoo! I am now a subscriber. I love your personality, video quality, and detailed review. Thanks so much!

I have the Ruby red Limited and I absolutely love this car. Had it over a year and a half brand new. There is nothing I dislike. ❤

Thank you, Jeff! You have officially sold me on the Limited! I appreciate all your hard work for the community

Im planning to buy Venza. Your video really helps in choosing the right trim. Thank you

You were by far the most informative and comical ive seen thus far. I was looking at the cross but im leaning towards the venza. Thx for that but definitely, a 2021 is the way to go even in 2023!

Jeff. I was so much impressed by your video of the 3 trims. So informative. My wife and I are looking forward in trying out the Venza. Need more people like you on u tube

Great video, Jeff! We're leasing a 2021 Limited Venza, Hybrid-best car we've ever had! The main thing that had kept my husband from from getting a hybrid Toyota before, was not realizing HOW MUCH extra power the 4 cylinder engine gets from the Eco boost mode from the Hybrid battery! We love Toyotas, especially the top end Camrys-just like getting Lexus, for LOTS less money. Add the financial boost of leasing- You just can't beat the deal. After trying top-of-the line Acuras (totally overpriced & under performing- instead of a spare tire, Honda put in a can of FIX-A-FLAT!!) we headed back to the Toyota dealership...We had ordered another top trim MDX, but after waiting 6 months, the Acura salesmen said that they didn't have the one we had put a big deposit on, but we might like to look at one MDX that was nowhere near what we had ordered- back to Toyota! Luckily they had just gotten in a Rose Gold Titanium Venza, Limited with the Technical Package- so beautiful, and an absolute joy to drive! The Moon gaze roof is amazing, the puddle lights, and everything else -especially the 12.3 inch screen & the air conditioned & heated ventilated seats, the sound system- after a quick test drive that same night, the lease was signed!!* The get up & GO, compared with the clunky transmission MDX, quickly impressed us! It's been nothing less than a joy to drive! We easily get over 40 mpg-without even trying! The heads up display keeps us informed of the changing speed limits... Everything about the 2021 Limited Hybrid Venza is SO impressive! The only question I have is- Why do we almost NEVER see any advertising from Toyota, about this wonderful car? And in this first year of the lease, why have we only seen 2 of these awesome cars, in a city with tons of expensive cars? I really would like to hear Toyota's explanation for the absurd lack of advertising for the best value, technology & just all around joy to drive, the Venza? Thankyou for the great video- & can't wait to hear an explanation!

After testing a lot of vehicles in this class, and renting a Venza for a week to be sure - I bought a 22 Venza Limited in same color as this review. I've owned a wide variety of vehicles in my 55 years of driving. I am happier with this Venza than any other vehicle I've ever purchased - even happier than the 2006 E500 Benz I owned. I'm 6 months and 6000 miles into ownership. There is not one complaint I have about it. Absolutely great comfortable vehicle with incredible tech. I highly recommend it.

Really great job! Your videography is better than most, particularly the extreme close-ups (very minimal blurring). I think this is your best edited video yet.

FINALLY All trim model back to back review. THANK YOU - always loved to see those comparisons when watching new car reviews. It only makes sence to look a Base next to Premium to decide and see whats added- great job man,

Jeff, You are simply the best! Thank you for a great video. Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦

I can’t wait to see what the ambient lights look like at night. 🤩

One of the best vids ive seen on camparing different trims. Peeps need to do this more

Thank you for making this vehicle. I have been looking at many videos on the 2021 and 2022 Venza trying to decide if I wanted to upgrade from my 2014 Venza. I even sent this video to my dealer so he could see some of the things I mentioned to him :). Great job.

Fellow Toyota salesman here. Absolutely love the Venza. Personally my favorite vehicle to sell.

Great video as always!! Only thing missing is a drivings impression with a cabin noise db meter! Everybody says they're super quiet and have a comfortable ride but I want to hear it from you! Best Toyota Vehicles Reviewer out there! Keep up the good work Jeff!

for real about toyota especially the highlander you Jeff and scotty are my only trusted references Keep the good work on gust like that

What an amazing review. Thanks a lot for putting so much effort. One of the best and most detailed that I have seen so far. My take is limited

I live in Japan, and my car is a Toyota Harrier, the vehicle upon which the Venza is based. The version I drive is closest to the Limited. It is by far the best car purchase I have ever made. Absolutely love this car.

I have never watched a more informative, and entertaining, car info video! Awesome job. Thanks for being so thorough!!

This guy has a lot of energy, I appreciate that!

I'm in my early 30s and have a 2014 with 55k mi and love my venza. I'm so glad they brought it back, I also besides the upgrades the height. Commuting an hr each way for work the mpg is phenomenal!! Will definitely be purchasing either the XLE or Limited for sure! Great & thorough review on each trim!!!

Thank you for explaining the differences. I have been trying to decide between the XLE and the Limited Venza.

Love it. Needed more venza and enthusiasm in other videos and this guy DELEIVERED

XLE w/soft tex upgrade and standard 8" infotainment because it has normal knobs & buttons. Thanks Jeff!!!

You do a great job with your presentations Jeff. Thanks for all your hard work!

Great video. I can’t believe you didn’t talk about the unique panoramic roof tho.

Omg! You just are the best... thanks for this video 😍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 it’s perfect

Frankly, got more interested the presenter's enthusiasm than the car. I admire his passion for what he is doing. Everything he showed looked more important that I had expected. Great presentation!

This guy is great! He’s not boring and VERY informative!

xLE plus soft tech upgrade… thank you for this excellent source of comparison,WOW!

We bought one of these in LE trim for my wife in May, and so far there are only two things that I don't like about it. Otherwise, it is an amazing ride. 1. I am a tall guy (6' 4"), and the front door opening is so small that I have to duck my head when getting in and out. Since this car was bought for my wife who is average size and has no issues, I don't really count this one as a major problem, but wanted to point it out in case anyone tall out there is thinking about buying this car for themselves. Once I am inside, I am really comfortable. It's just the opening that is an issue (specifically ceiling is too low). 2. Recently the 12 volt outlet stopped working, and I am pretty sure that it is just the fuse that went out. The problem is that the manual only shows you where all the fuse boxes are, but does not provide a diagram of which fuse is for what. There are 3 fuse boxes (two in the engine bay, and one under the steering wheel column inside the cabin), and only one of the fuse box covers in the engine bay has a diagram (which is not fully self-explanatory). The other two fuse boxes don't give any info whatsoever.

you are great sir...your way to telling details is so incredible and so easily that it easily understands....like job sir

Best comparation that I ever seen. Excellent job. Thanks.

Very comprehensive. Not boring at all! Thank you.

Jeff this review was so useful. Can you do the same review for the 2023 Venza trims? I'm looking to buy one and the trims always confuse me.

Love the video I just booked a test drive this weekend

This was actually super entertaining,and informative.cheesy entertainment is my jam lol Great job!

Very informative and concise video. Thanks Jeff! I am most likely going with the LE since it actually has physical buttons on the screen, and I don't like sunroof's. The only sticking point for me will be the softex vs cloth interiors. I already test drove a limited and looking for an LE to compare to.

probably the best review i have seen … great video

Why did Toyota put the blinkers all the way at the bottom by the bumper!!!! Why Jeff !!!!

This is the best video I ever watched about car presentation, good job and thanks for your effort to show this model to us

i love this guy's reviews. this is what i needed.

Thanks for being so thorough and entertaining, Jeff!

I meant to subscribe before I even saw this, and then he started with a rap! Definitely subscribed! Love your posts!

Best Venza review video, ever. I like Jeff, well done!

The Venza needs a functioning Moonroof.

Jeff, this is a great review! Very helpful, and I think I'd choose the limited. Question for you: which of all Toyota vehicles do you think has the softest and most comfortable seats, as well as the softest and most forgiving/comfortable ride? I'm looking for something very soft and comfortable.

Outstanding car review! Love your trim comparisons...

Gem of a comparison,. Love this car. Perfect upgrade from Rav4/CRV . Toyota have a serious winner

I am getting the limited for sure your video sold me .. Thank you!!

The XLE gets my vote with the Softex.

Thanks for the video. I would suggest that you aim for split screens in editing when you are showing us the difference between trim levels for a certain part of the car, e.g. the wheels. Nothing is better than seeing the three different wheels on the same screen.

Very informative straightforward comparison inside and out. Makes it so easy to decide. Thank you!

So I don't usually comment but here it is: I WAS 50/50 between the Subaru Outback XL and the Venza XLE with some upgrades like the Premium Sound Sysem and Softec package. After watching your vid I'm now strongly leaning towards the Toyota. I need to do one more "drive off" and see what I like best. One hang up on going Toyota mignt be the color options. I really really love either the Blue or Red but BOTH are "sold -out" on the main site. I'm going to be ordering either way as I'm not in a rush to get a new car. Suggestions welcomed!

I purchased the Limited and love this car...get 42 - 47 MPG

Jeff really helped me by explaining what car I'm gonna go for it , thank you ❤

Detailed review! Really enjoyed watching it. Kee up the good work.

You are doing an excellent job. Always details on all of your videos

you are the cutest & this video was incredibly informative & detailed but also entertaining lol. robin william vibes. thank you!

All th info we need. Fun yet straight forward presentation. No "high production" nonsense. Thanks for respecting our time. SUBSCRIBE

You showed me the back up lights and the brake lights which I really wanted to see. Thank you.

Thanks so much. The salesmen told me literally nothing about the car, only wanted to talk about personal life story while test driving. The questions I asked during and before sale they either didn't know or told me the wrong info. Said the LE has no remote start, no wireless phone charge, no auto trunk lift, so much wrong info. Finance guy told me hybrid battery doesn't have standard warranty to try to get me to buy extended one and then snuck it in my contract anyways. How do they even have a job with Toyota I'm not sure. Thank you so much so I can actually know more about my car (I did my own research before buying too thank God)

Thanks, for pricing information On 2021 Venza ,New. Now I will test drive a 2021 XLE used.

Great informative video and your enthusiasm is great....will be purchasing a 2023 XLE or Limited - as soon as we becomes available.

I love this. Anyone else explaining the different levels would be dead boring.

Very educational...and hilarious at the same time. I like this guy!

Got the Limited in Coastal Grey no moon roof (didn't want it) I'm short and the liftgate is adjustable to stop at several levels, no more jumping up to lower it, I've got it in my reach! :) I love my Venza. One complaint, the projection headlights have a spot in them and it's driving me nuts.

i’m living for your energy!!

Awesome explanation. No one really does it like this, very detailed 👍

Your videos are always helpful and informative. Thanks!

I personally like the LE wheels so much more then the XLE and Limited models 😅 Gotta give toyota credit on how much you get with the LE. Great car all around.

I prefer the controls of the le/xle over the limited. Knobs instead of mulit push button. I don't want a huge screen in the way either.

Thank you for taking me back, even if it was subtle and brief, to my childhood with The Count laugh.

I love xle gonna go looking for it next week 😍

I love your energy! Entertaining video and thank you so much for all the information

The XLE is my choice with the softex package, without the upgrade infotainment (want clamitecontrol buttons). Best bang for the buck as far as I'm concerned, because of the needed comfort for empty nesters grandparents, in comfort and saving on gas! Peace-Out....

My 2010 Toyota Prius with 250,000 miles serve serve me well. It is running up repair bills into the thousands that I can't justify. I'm favoring the Venza LE with Premium audio. Wonder if the car has a remote starter. I uses that everyday. Very helpful in winter time because the engine will be warm already and I just have to turn on the instant heat. Thank you, Jeff. Excellent video.
