2024 TOYOTA VENZA XLE: THE FINAL DELIVERIES!

EV Channels Review

As Toyota concludes Venza deliveries with the 2024 XLE model, this review highlights its position as a practical, albeit aging, hybrid SUV. The reviewer praises the Titanium Glow paint, comfortable SofTex interior with cross-stitching, and the robust JBL sound system. Key advantages noted are its excellent fuel economy (estimated 39-40 MPG combined), practical cargo space (28.8 cu ft rear seats up, 55.1 cu ft down), and a tighter turning radius than its successor. However, significant drawbacks are pointed out for a vehicle nearing $43,000 MSRP, including the lack of a sunroof, a power front passenger seat, and a heated steering wheel. While the Venza offers a more SUV-like stance than the Crown Signia, the latter provides a more refined drive, quieter cabin, and nicer amenities, albeit at a higher price point. The Venza remains a solid, economical choice, especially if found at a discount compared to the Crown Signia, but its final iteration shows some missed opportunities in premium features.
